Why are there so little Fascist regions? I just noticed there are only like 200 or so
Why would there be more? Fascism is bad and 200 fascist regions are already way too many.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1949159
Sateru, Calidur
Lmao Welcome
Evinagioni
I thought it would be more Wide spread in a game like this
Calidur
Ive already read it
That's because fascism is rightfully frowned upon and opposed by the vast majority of communities and players in the game, and fascist regions are marginalized, ostracized and regularly destroyed in fash bashes (like our [URL=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1963801]Operation Eden[/URL] against the fascist Sacrumterra).
Dionysou, Calidur
ok ok
There's little of them because we stamp them out whenever we can :P
Calidur
ye, these days its hard to find fascist regions these days, and when you so they either passsword protected or Non frontier making them impossible to raid
Yep, it is a shame how this game is so tolerant of this disgusting ideology.
Dionysou, Calidur
omg slay I love your flag

[table][tr][td]Question of the Day[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]What NS and/or real life accomplishment are you most proud of??[/td][/tr]

Ik, Its sad, even if its for realism, Fascims biggest danger is how easily it spreads.
finding out about NS

Arrigorriaga, Calidur
Yeah, it's a game about running a country so history and economics seem pretty on brand
Calidur

Uadi National News
- Railroad has now been fully constructed through New Evinio, bringing the current plans for the Great Eastern Ethelorian Railroad to an end. People in all involved countries now have a much faster method of transportation that extends from New Evinio down to Nyang.
- Moon Base progress continues as scheduled with siginificant progress being made on the Moon. Uadidasi is looking forward to seeing it fully operational soon!
- The situation in Koronic has not been getting better quite at the rate we have hoped as such we are sending additional resources to help secure the country, as Koronic's stability is vital for Uadi stability. We will continue to montior the situation and make adjustments to our strategy as needed.
- Beiyo United has won the Uadi Super League in Football, making that their third straight championship and 10th overall, in some exciting news owners of the league are meeting soon to discuss expanding the league into other nations, thereby creating the first international club based league in the world. Serious plans for this are expected to begin as soon as next season.
Koronic, Dionysou
Does my new flag look okay?
Calidur
Yep, it's why the data of any small scale poll should be treated with an asterisk, but these are for fun anyways so it's not like we're making some important decision off of it :3
Liberated Nucountry
I like the design quite a bit, reminds me of a galactic theme
Independent Federation
Let me test something to see if it works
weewoo weewoo
It did not work
in NS, the roleplay I built in this region was something I havent done in any other. Apart form hitting powerhouse in economy.
I must say now I have the opportunity, Joining Astoria Was probably the best Decision I have ever made in this game :)

Response for this Question
Corenth makes a counter offensive.
18th August 2038
On the 22nd Of July, Corenth launches an attack of the city of Nagoreth. A city located close to the border. After bombarding defences They begin crossing the border towards the city. the demoralised army stationed there was unable to Really defend The New Coronese CO-82 battle tank.
It was 5 am in the morning when the bombing runs came, the city walls and houses were reduced to rubble, like Corol was Months earlier. As the city was in ruin, It gave the coronese An easy chance to scale the hill without heavy bombardment. As Adriatic Forces were rushed to Nagoreth The city had been Broken Into and a lack of men stationed their meant The coronese easily claimed the city.
Communications have been cut off and locations form refugee survivors are still unknown.
Stinspansion 2.0: New Chile
Start Date: August 15th, 2038
Unlike the first major expansion just a few short years ago, this one was directly ordered by the upper echelons of the Republic government, and while whoever first sparked the idea for this expansion isn't entirely known, although a few select inside sources from within the legislature points directly to Consul Agrippa Nasenniua Panthera. There was a significant amount of funding allocated for the expedition, and a significant military presence was provided as well for the large surface area of territory to be claimed and taken over. The following amount of vessels is sent to the new colonies:
-) 1 P. Trebatius Plancus Class Mobile Expeditionary
-) 6 Palpaellius Zeno III Class Destroyers
-) 4 Ussinus Class Vehicle Cargo Ships (IRL Equivalent USNS Watson Class LMSR)
-) 1 MV Ovid RO/RO Car Carrier (IRL Equivalent MV Faust)
-) 3 Ancharius and Rabonius Class Dry Cargo Ship (IRL Equivalent Lewis and Clark)
-) 2 Maremago Class Amphibious Transport Docks
This would be the first usage of the Republic of Stin's Mobile Expeditionary Base, located on board are parts of the Republic's new Frontiersman Organization. Government workers, agents, subsidized homesteaders, as well as a group of convicts offered a new place to leave in exchange for joining this new colony. Of course they aren't on a naval vessel all alone. Acting as security for the expedition are select regiments from the Republic Navy-Army Rangers Division, stationed on board all 17 of the ships apart of the convoy in addition to the many thousand of regular civilian and citizen colonists coming to this new land.
The fleet first makes ground at what is called the city of Frigidopolis. The city, which is founded in the later summer, essentially grows overnight to a population of 3,000 as the naval vessels take advantage of their shallow draft and many auxiliary craft. The initial colonists get to work using their supplies, pre-fabricated temporary houses, and minimal construction vehicles that the auxiliary craft could bring (mainly Cold-Weather Forklifts and small to medium sized backhoes. Over the next week or so, as the colonists begin to slowly expand the city, a pontoon dock is established to connect to the deeper water where the main fleet can sail up to. Having to do this with extreme precision and care, but it does work. Albeit there are accidents. With the first Ussinus Class Vehicle Carrier making an attempt to dock, it came in too fast and crashed through the makeshift pontoon, squishing five Stinnish RNAR's and fourteen civilian dockyard workers. They, by the request of their families, are buried in the new colony.
Days later, as the pontoon dock is once against rebuilt, stabilized, and tested with a smaller vessel; the larger ships can begin the slow process of unloading all of their cargo which gives the city of Frigidarium a total count of:
-) 1,366 Colonists (Mixture of Convicts, Republic Citizens, and various other civilian groups)
-) 554 RNAR's
In addition to this are hundreds of other miscellaeneous vehicles; forklifts, backhoes, gantry crane construction parts, at least seven block-setting cranes, forty-eight mobile cranes, seventeen amphibious excavators, the parts to set up five dragline excavators, four dredgers, one hundred and forty two wheeled bulldozers, and one hundred and fort two tracked bulldozers, seven hundred and ninety-eight tracked snowcats, thirty-eight military engineering vehicles for a variety of purposes (donated by the RNAR), two hundred vehicles for the purpose of logging, four hundred vehicles for the purpose of agriculture, around three hundred vehicles for the purpose of mining. There are also many vehicles that serve other miscellaneous purposes:
-) 700 ATV's (which are purchased by members of the colony at an extreme discount)
-) 450 Snowmobile (which are gifted to members of the colony)
-) 290 Loaders, mixture of tracked and untracked version, both are donated to members of the community.
Of course over time it is expected that the colonial city of Frigidarium should be able to expand, as such an Asphalt plant is constructed near the temporary dock (which as time passes is slowly expanded and built up to prepare for a permanent structure). By August 29th when most of the supplies have been transported to shore, word is sent back to the Republic of Stin for more settlers to prepare to arrive, especially those who are willing to go homesteading in the areas surrounding the city of Frigidarium, and naturally this would occur. The Republic, in order to attract these people, promises that all debts, crimes (short of capital offenses), misdemeanors, legal wrong doings, and fines that have been instilled upon them. As well as that, in order to attract much of the non-citizenry of the Republic, to all settlers who come to this colony are awarded with free and instantaneous citizenship, even allowing those who have lost it due to crimes to regain it.
In addition to this, instant retirement for all soldiers within the Republic's Reserve Forces, which will include the monthly pension of 2,500 Sesterce's and an instant bonus of 10,000 Denarii. This would naturally be attractive to many of the younger members of the Republics Reserve Forces.
In order to prepare for the estimated amount of settlers, the Republic begins the mass production of reconfigured satellite phones that can only be connected to one particular station within the city of Frigidarium, an emergency line for the settlers. All incoming and prospective settlers are offered two things; they can, if they so chose, immediately go into the colony where they will be provided with an E-Z-Setup Tend, multiple handbooks for surviving in the wilderness, enough food to last for the winter (although it is mostly freeze dried), and equipment for the set up of basic things such as small stoves, an axe, and other essentialls. Or, alternatively, the settler will enroll in a four month survivalist course, and will be sent over to settle in the Spring, they will be sent with the basic equipment and enough food to last for a month. The E-Z-Setup Tent is not provided for these settlers, it is instead assumed they will find enough time to make their own. Both of these settlers will be provided with the Reconfigured Satellite Phone and a map of their location relative to Frigidarium.
The RNAR and the Republic Air Force, with these settlers, allocates a total of 25 acres for their own personal development, meaning that those given areas are where they are allowed to build things such as farms, chicken and animal coops/barns, and their dwellings. These 25 acre plots are always, always spread so far apart that the chance of them being within 5 miles from each other is not possible. All of the land between them all is public, allowed for use by all of the settlers. The total land allowed for the settlers is simple, going around 200 miles deep in from the coast, the territorial length of the colonial territory stretches from the border of the Shadow Imperium to the Kingdom of Calidur, with roughly at the halfway point lays the city of Frigidarium. To allow for some sort of connection across the colony a two lane road is built from one end to the other, or at the very least the construction is started, and stopped during the winter. The end of construction is expected to be sometime in Mid-Late 2041.
The total amount of settlers who take this opportunity right away number in the mid to high tens of thousands, most of them are members of the Republics Reserve Armed Forces, eager to take their bonus and spend it on any sort of extra junk they can bring. The settlements for these, most veterans, are located on the borders of the Shadow Imperium and Kingdom of Calidur, with the rest spread out elsewhere. When the scholarly settlers are down, they will be settled amongst the rest of the empty land of the colony. The total amount currently enrolled in the programs across Stin number in the upper hundred thousands. To aid the colonization effort, the RNAR as well established thirty eight "trading posts" run by the government, selling any essentials that the settlers may need at a slight upcharge.
Greetings everyone, I would like to start a trade agreement to those who are intersested . This will greatly aid our struggling economy since the making of our country. We do not have much to offer now but when do we will be a economic powerhouse. If you see this we thank you dearly for reading and hope to start a great future with you. May God bless your nation.

Continued Ship Buying
Today the Caladine government has announced the purchase of 8 constellation class frigates from Magna-Scientia costing $10.24 billion. These ships will be quickly be put into the RCN. This continues the recent Caladine practice of purchasing foreign made ships. The money to cover this purchase will partly come from the healthcare budget and partly from the royal treasury.

Announcement from the Commonwealth of Rosaria
Progress in Standrya
Despite supplying many protesters with weaponry, the government has made decent progress in preventing the rebels from securing the province. Many supply crates have been secured, however, it is abundantly clear that not all of them were secured because they are now fighting with firearms and no longer just melee weaponry. The Government has executed the operation "Cockroaches under Gavel," the main operation to secure the region while avoiding too much collateral damage and civilian life lost. The Current numbers of SIO are unknown, however, it is estimated to be at least 10,000 soldiers, if not more.
Despite this, the Standrya Independence Organization, which will be referred to as SIO, has been established as the Major rallying flag for the Rebels in the region. Their main goal is to secure Standrian independence into a Free-Market state. Their current leaders are unknown to the government, however, due to some intel, it is hypothesized that there are 4 leaders, each controlling a sector of command.
The Blockade has strengthened their control over Standrya, and the government has declared that any ships that go within 15km of Standryan land (~9 miles), will be sunk.

[table][tr][td]RP Prompt of the Day[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]What kind of architecture style is your capitol building?
When was it completed, how long did it take to construct, how many people worked on it and who was the lead architect?
Has it ever been damaged or required renovations?[/td][/tr]
[/table]
on the day it becomes reasonable (or just reasonably shaped) :3
[spoiler=if you want to know why]That place would be freezing cold, your farms would need to be heated 24/7, alongside any animal you wish to bring to Aramer.
The fact that your colony's land is so spread out means that you require multiple ports for bringing resources to the colony, which will also require a constant flow of resources because it surely can't produce anything, and if it can, it requires a lot more money than it would've cost anywhere else on the planet.
Let's assume you have plants that survive the cold, harsh conditions of upside down Antarctica. These plants will have small and thick leaves to minimise water loss and produce anti-freeze proteins so they don't just die because ice formed on their cells.
These plants will also grow less, produce less, etc etc etc because of the limited resources, but of course you can get around that by giving the plants resources, and oh wait, we're back at requiring a constant flow of resources to the colony!
Now, I'm not just going to outright refuse to give you that claim, all I ask is that it be reasonably sized/shaped, i.e. get everything closer together

After dedicating a month to steadfastly stabilizing the nation and scouring for the missing suspects, the military is ready to transition leadership back to the throne and its rightful heir, Huidemoiki Yume.
During this interim period, Yume has been diligently preparing to assume the responsibilities of leadership. Educated in the traditions and governance of Koronic, she possesses a deep understanding of the nation's history, culture, and structure.
Having once fretted over the presence of military patrols traversing the city streets with an air of uncertainty, the citizens can now breathe a collective sigh of relief, reassured by the knowledge that their nation is primed to reclaim its sense of normalcy under Yume's capable guidance.
