Awesome link. I'll be on the voice for 20 mins or so while I enter my time

Welcome to the regional message board Coralas. What's new with you?

I HAVE A CAPITAL

Maniaca

We don't have one yet. Can you draw one?

Maniaca

Awesome, thank you!

Sounds like a beautiful place to spend a week or two

I think we should call a regional council to determine what exactly we want to do with this region

That's a great idea. When are you free?

I think we should hold it in a Discord thread or something, that way we don't need to wait for a time where everyone's schedules line up

Everyone, get into the discord immediately and present your ideas for the region in the council room

Hello Homalia! Welcome! Congratulations to our new delegate Cessarea! Long may he or she reign

Amazing world factbook entry update. Everyone keep a close eye as the links in the factbook entry are developed, follow the steps toward citizenship and participate in the region. We are building a community here

Evenin', Alcatraz.

I've made some design choices, I hope you like them! I put up a poll for feedback, do vote.

Gorgeous crest and banner. Wow!

GOOD MORNING ALCATRAZ let's crush it today.

I think some of the text colour is not good

Cessarea

Give us some more detail my friend. Are you using the light or dark theme background? Do you want different colors or just less color/more default? Anything particularly bad?

Maniaca wrote:Give us some more detail my friend. Are you using the light or dark theme background? Do you want different colors or just less color/more default? Anything particularly bad?

They may be talking about the text in the world factbook entry? I kind of picked those colours at random, so they don't exactly "match" the rest of the region's colours.

Also, I don't know if you realised this, but the colour scheme and the heraldic shield I made are inspired by your flag! It's one of the NS standard flags, I think.

Maniaca

some of the colours are too bright I can't see them

Maniaca

i am using the light theme

Maniaca

Yes, I did notice and was extremely impressed. My flag is the flag of the former principality of Transylvania, a region of romania, which uses the same three colors in its national flag. Thanks for your hard work on the graphic design -- definitely professionalizes our storefront.

I assumed Hidere was using the light background and therefore had complaints about the few sections that are in light blue text, and white text, which I assume don't show up great. Otherwise there wouldn't be much to raise a complaint about I don't think, unless one had particularly strong aesthetic opinions, which is a possibility.

edit: lol nailed it

Maniaca wrote:-snip-

Oooohh... I hadn't considered that. To be honest I kind of forget NS has anything other than a dark mode at all! I'll make sure to touch up the design to see if I can make it more tolerable for people who use other NS themes.

i can see the blue text fine, just the tan, white, and yellow I can't see

They'll all come to the dark side soon enough

Hidere wrote:i can see the blue text fine, just the tan, white, and yellow I can't see

Yep, I switched to Rift theme and saw it, it was pretty much unreadable! I altered it, the only thing that should be hard to read are the yellow emphases, but it's not really a big deal.

Thanks it is better

Looking awesome fam, thank you for your input Hidere. Keep it coming.

Coralas you are a superstar in this region

Coralas

How are we going to start the roleplay?

Maniaca

Hidere wrote:How are we going to start the roleplay?

I'm working on opening something in the Nationstates Forum right now, actually! It'll be open for everyone, Regional residents and otherwise. It'll be something mild, no wars or such.

I am the world's most powerful nation I will have to tone it down for this introductory roleplay!! Can't wait to get started

Maniaca

Oooo! I turn away for a little bit and when I come back this region is bursting with activity! Colour me excited!

Maniaca, Cessarea

Hi, I'm Cessarea's alt!

I'm logged into this alt to make a light MT roleplay based on this nation, Cessarea. It'll be a ball commemorating the ascension of Siebeland's newly-elected monarch. That way, we can get started on some diplomacy.

yes The empire of hindere interesting

Maniaca

Well, the first roleplay's been posted: The Ball of Ascension

As I've stated, it's a lightweight roleplay. Hopefully it helps to bring some attention to the region, and to kickstart *other* roleplaying efforts. The IC thread will be opened when it gathers enough participants.

Maniaca

It’s been quiet eh?

May I offer one critique of the proposed constitution, based on a cursory read? I think the delegate's term is too long, given the pace that NS tends to move at. Six months would probably work better?

Cessarea, Citwiesseilus

Citwiesseilus wrote:It’s been quiet eh?

Eh, it takes time. Roleplays usually spend a week or so in signups before opening their IC up.

Ah, it's good that you've said that. The Constitution is not in effect *yet* due to the fact we don't really have the means to enact it. Eventually we'll discuss the proposal in detail, for now we're just riding the waves until we get to a more stable point :P

With that said, good suggestion, six months is a better time length.

Citwiesseilus

I got school tomorrow Monday to Friday I won’t be there because I will play other games.

You play this game now brother

yes it good because we don’t have to wait for years i mean like 1 to 5 years

Maniaca wrote:You play this game now brother
yes. Weekday & weekends through why I play this I got banned on roblox for a day because I say “ok”

Mine is doing good only 67.8% of death comes from old age

I’m the 5th safest country here

Should we ban p0rn like there some kids that watch p0rn that watch it 24/7 and it’s bad for the mind.

Maniaca

Take a breath brother, one or two questions at a time. Yes we should ban porn and all other sins

Now that I've given it a more through look, here are a few more comments on the proposed Constitution:

- I think we should have constitutional protections of freedom of speech and assembly (subject to moderation of course, we don't want to constitutionally bind ourselves to having to put up with someone being a total jackass on the RMB.)

- I think we should also have constitutional protections against arbitrary ejections.

- I'm not sure of the wisdom of having an elected legislature, rather than a simple citizens assembly consisting of all citizens. I feel like a citizen's assembly would be more flexible and conducive to broader activity.

- The roles of President and Delegate seem to have a lot of overlap, I think they should be differentiated more.

I'll make more specific suggestions later.

Antevile, Cessarea

Great recommendations, I agree there are opportunities here to simplify. The judicial branch can be reduced to just me, for instance, since I'm the only member with a law license (other attorneys, please come forward if I am wrong). Obviously as high inquisitor I would hear and sagely consider arguments and evidence presented by all parties and amicii.

President and Delegate roles can either be differentiated, or, oppositely, mashed together.

Agree that an elected legislature may not be much of a value-add in an environment where everyone will probably have an opportunity to provide their own perspective without being overwhelmed/overwhelming

Cessarea

Citwiesseilus wrote:Hello?

Hey, not to be rude, but perhaps you should edit your past posts when adding something if it is this rapidly after each other. Takes up less space.

Maniaca

I agree with the suggestions made to the Constitution, but the overlap between Delegate and President is intentional - having two figures of Executive authority is good for Regional security, and to have a quick reaction against any trouble.

Maniaca

Hearing tomorrow ... need a vacation. Thankfully I have one coming up

https://discord.gg/2b8pTkAze Here's a link to the Discord I made before Cessarea became del. Link expires in 30 days though, Discord was stupid and got rid of permanent links for non-community servers

does that mean we'll need to reconstitute the Discord in 30 days? or just get a new link and update the factbook entry post?

Probably the latter

piece of cake. good opportunity to keep an eye on the discord. Thank you Cloud Age Symphony you are amazing
