Guys, I'm currently working on a Wikipedia style Factbook for my nation, and I want to include historical flags but the problem is that I don't know how to make one, so my question is, how did you make yours?

Are you asking about a wiki template, or the flags?

Board Poll: Should parents or kids be blamed for kid’s bad behavior?

I think it depends on whether or not the parent(s) has/have done everything they can to prevent bad behavior.

Both should be responsible. Kids as individuals are responsible for their own actions, but their actions and behaviours are partly determined by how they were raised by their parents. The responsabilty of the parents is to teach their children how to behave and the difference between what's good and what's bad, but they shouldn't be fully blamed for their kids' actions. This is since their actions and behaviour can also be influenced by their friends, the media and other factors that are outside the parents' control.

In conclusion, parents should take some of the blame, but not all of it.

So the better to say would’ve been should kids and parents, kids, or parents take the blame for the kid’s behavior. Thanks for your input! I was honestly wondering this as I watched two episodes of Super nanny. Tommorow it’ll be related to your countries polices.

Greetings Sainohind. After reading the Factbook about the SainoHind Armed Forces, the only critique I can give you is that you should change the name from 'The official Facebook...' to 'The Official Factbook...'. Other than that everything else is pretty good.

The Confederacy of Jewish Sealand will only accept refugees if they come from a country in crisis or if they are being persecuted by a non-ally nation. Everyone else must enter the country normally and with their travel documents ready.

Reconstruction of The Menorican Calendar

Long time ago, I established an official calendar for Menorica. It is a set of day and dates of events and cultural events of the year for the mediterranean island. It's been like this and never changed since 2018. Until Now. Like the Menorican Factbook the proposed construction is advanced. And likely more modern than it's current use.

Just ignore that last poll. I was awake for a while and thought it was a ‘smart’ poll to ask. I’ll say another board poll after this post.

Board Poll: Are miltary coups good if they overthrow a government that looks like it’s rigging the vote (like in the case with Burma) or if they overthrow the prime minister or president of a country when they look like there gaining too much power?

Romeshire2, Jewish Sealand

Coups generally aren’t good unless freedoms are protected after the execution of the coup.

Romeshire2 wrote:Coups generally aren’t good unless freedoms are protected after the execution of the coup.

Which they generally aren’t.

Romeshire2, The Hinterplace, Jewish Sealand

Coups just generally aren’t good to begin with.

Not-Brittania, Piadosa

Let’s say the freedom to vote is granted after another government is made which doesn’t right the vote (which happened with Burma). It’s just a coup to stop a corrupt government or a president or prime minister getting to powerful.

There was an official map maker website i forgot about. I remember i used to make country maps out of it whenever I was making a map for Menorica.

Map Chart (dot net one) is the one i think. It is wonderful and you can actually form a regional country out of it. Though if you are talking about drawing lines; Making the map customary rather than what's already in reality then i don't know yet.

The country of British Andorra is very conservative with politics but even we admit that if a woman would die if they give birth to a kid abortion is allowed. Otherwise's it’s a banned practice within our medical field expect for that one exception.

The Confederacy of Jewish Sealand is a country divided into 7 different Jewish nations and the capital city, Jewish Sealand City (JSC), which is controlled directly by the Confederal government. Due to the fact that Jewish Sealand is a confederacy, the central government cannot enforce a single abortion law for all nations, unless all of them consent to it, which has yet to happen. In the capital city, a woman is able to abort at any point in pregnancy if she was raped or if she is able to prove that she won't be able to support the child or provide it a happy life (this can be because of socioeconomic factors, substance abuse, lack of support from family or friends, or if there is a health risk with the mother or with the child).

Sainohind

To further explain Lankfordham’s policies on abortion: It is understood that some don’t agree with abortion and some do, and that’s okay. We are all different. Therefore, the federal government stays out of abortion and allows it to be a matter of conscience. Tax money is not used to fund abortions, religion, or any organization. Abortion is viewed more as a “freedom” than a “right” (“right” being interpreted as something you’re entitled to). The government mandates birth control be made over the counter, provides free condoms at the local health departments, and teaches safe sex/sex education in all public schools as a required course.

So far I agree the most with the abortion policy of Lankfordham. If I could convince the Confederal Legislature, I would implement this as Law.

In the 17th century, Jewish Sealand created the best system that can exist. Seven mostly soverign states and a weak central government that collects voluntary taxes and assists states if they request it.

Voluntary taxes?

Basically people choose how much they pay the government and to what services that money goes to.

Other than that the Jewish nations (the mostly sovereign states) can use some of the money they tax to finance the central government.

Next Board Poll at 4:30 EST. Got school so that’s when I’ll be back.

This is the newest piece of legislation. The signing of the Act took place of the balcony of the People’s House, finished off with fireworks and a seven day Festival of Freedom!

“‘WE THE PEOPLE of the Democratic Republic of Lankfordham hereby pass the Voting Rights and Representation Act to end discrimination in voting, expand voting rights, and ensure the voice of all Lankfordhamians are heard and represntated.

This Act hereby prohibits all voting discrimination based on the accounts of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, status, nationality, origin, political affiliation, and background,

This Act hereby enacts a ranked choice voting system in which all citizens can rank party preferences, and the percentages will be exactly represented in the Legislature,

This Act hereby enacts open primaries in all regions of Lankfordham,

This Act hereby establishes the policy of automatically registering citizens at the age of 18,

This Act hereby starts a new government-funded website, Democracy.govlnk, where citizens can get independent information on candidates, send messages directly to their representatives, track how their representatives vote, and participate in polls,

This Act hereby starts the Citizens’ Jury, in which citizens, that are rotated out, can sit and listen in on the Legislature and voice opinions, concerns, and presentations for an allotted amount of time,

This Act is cannot be amended without a supermajority 3/4 vote of both Houses of the Legislature,

“I, President Cody M. L., hereby declares the Voting Rights and Representation Act as Law on the twentieth day of October in the year of two thousand twenty-two. I will hereby enforce this Act as Law of the Land of the Democratic Republic of Lankfordham.”

*Passed 10/20/2021. This Act was passed in the House with a 60% majority vote and the Senate with a 61% majority vote. This Act was signed by the President the following day.’”

It's like a chosen reward given to you, As if you were a chosen one to complete the task.

Explain it in royal terms?

Like when the Monarch passes away, The Crown selects whoever is next in line to the throne, If that person abdicates (Gives up the throne) it will pass onto whoever is next in line. The Crown is the decide who shall become the ruler of Britain and it's territories.

You are the RMBer of the week, So when the week expires, Perhaps next Tuesday? You automatically give up that title to allow someone else to serve it. The main game rule for this is that the crown never stops. It's quite a bit of a History lesson to know a fact, A short example of how it feels to be King (or Queen if female) at least for a week then having to relinquish the title for understandable purposes. His Majesty explained this to you already, However i just wanted to further explain how this actually works from my experience of being RMB of the week.
