Region: Empire of Great Britain
totally deserving
Even though I live in England I'd still pick it as a first option, it is my homeland an I'm not sure I'd chose to live anywhere else. Scotland would be a close second, it's where a large part of my family is from and I've only been there a few times so there is plenty I'd like to explore and see.
Also I'm guessing by choice "The Caribbean" it refers to any nation in that region?
Rest in Peace and Glory your Majesty.
God Save the King.
Lunayria
I would love to live in Switzerland, which isnÂ’t an option. Hey Hyperolis, not trying to sound mean spirited or nothing, but for every single poll you should include an option named Other. This way, people who donÂ’t vote for any of the options you chose could pick Other and write what the other is in the board. Just a suggestion.
Lunayria
IÂ’d like to invite everyone to read LankfordhamÂ’s tribute to His Majesty:
“In Honor of His Majesty, King William V, the First Royal of Lankfordham” in our fact book archive.
As President, I would like to announce that we will be renaming our capital city after His Majesty, King William V, being that he his the first Royal of Lankfordham. The name will be announced at the end of the month.
God Save the King!

Hey just a headÂ’s up. N-Day is this weekend and apparently you have to do some pre region or nation registration.
Lunayria, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Crab???
After last years N-day it's understandable why they've made these changes.
Not too sure if I'll participate though.
Nihppon
I did not realize N-Day was so close in coming.
Lunayria, Menorica, Nihppon

Lunayria, Nihppon
I'm sorry, what is N-Day? I've never understood that
Lunayria
no clue lol
Lunayria, Nihppon
I'm not too sure how to explain it other than throwing nukes at each other. The linked dispatch should explain it.

Thanks!! I have this pinned to the WFE now, as well.

We prefer the term "Windsor Loyal Subject"
Lankfordham, Jewish Sealand
well my and my 5 millions brothers and sisters are crabs who are as smart as humans and are weaponized to the teeth so i think we wont be under the crown
and for some reason a lot of money
I am curious, why would you want to join a region with a Constitutional Monarchy if you do not wish to be under the Crown?
Romeshire2, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
They're free to roleplay their nation pretty much any way they'd like, outside of extremism such as fascism. The Monarchy focuses much more offsite and tries not to police the onsite nations too much.

Factbook Contest
What's up people of the Empire of Great Britain, we've got some news for you- The Culture Office is hosting a factbook contest. The Rules are simple. Applications shall be open for 1 week, and anyone interested in the competition must telegram PM Joshua Veralius (Jewish Sealand)
- Every nation that is a member of the Empire of Great Britain can participate.
- Nations that have already made a factbook about their nation may also participate.
- Nations will be given 10 days of time from the time of this announcement to submit their entries.
- The Factbooks must be about the nation.
- Plagiarism shall not be tolerate and any nation's entry, that includes information from elsewhere shall be disqualified. Nations may not also copy the exact same information from their nation's main page.
Judging
There will be three judges of this competition, Prime Minister Joshua Veralius (Jewish Sealand), Home Secretary Sirch Somerset (Frelioni), and Culture Secretary Yudhishthira Evans-Jones (Hyperpolis). The Rubrics for assessing shall be as follows-
Presentation The beauty of the factbook will be considered for judging. Pictures, colours and better formatting would increase your score in this criteria.
Information The details about your nation, and the quantity and quality of the content.
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, British Andorra, Allynthia
Could you further clarify "Plagiarism shall not be tolerate and any nation's entry, that includes information from elsewhere shall be disqualified."? I don't fully understand it.
The way it's worded makes it seem like any outside sources included invalidates an entry, for example saying the sky is blue or that France is a part of Europe. (I am aware those are some rather silly examples). And does it also apply to dispatch templates?
Many aspects from my nation include items from outside sources and given my current understanding I don't think I'd be able to participate.
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Given that I hate doing anything artsy since I wonÂ’t need any art skills for my future career. IÂ’ll decline from doing this. I like to write information, but IÂ’ll be tired from school this week and probably the next couple of weeks till I can start to walk normally and to not be in a bit of pain. Tally Ho Lads!
Lunayria, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Orlovckaya
So N-day
Nihppon
Oh dear, not again
The Hinterplace, Nihppon
Alright, I think I have an idea.
I will create a faction for the day n and I will call it "THE MOTHERLAND"
my idea is that as many people as possible join and show that THE MOTHERLAND is the best faction please consider joining
Nihppon, Allynthia, New Mega Kiwi, Apollose
Greetings,
I didn't consider this, when I approved this announcement. To make it easier for nations to participate of the contest, I will make it so you can copy information from the Internet or other factbooks. Just don't copy someone else's whole entire factbook.

Congratulations to [nation]Nihppon[/nation]!
(The Nation of the Week is based on many factors such as, how active they are on the region, how helpful they are with both old and new members of the Empire, etc.)

After a couple of requests; I'll be bringing this back!!
Nation-Building Question of the Day What does your nation's view on conscription?
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, British Andorra, Allynthia
My nation does not have conscription, instead we have a voluntary civil service class in school and a volunteer system where people can volunteer to be in my nationÂ’s small military.
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio, Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Hurrah! I've been nation of the week twice now! Thank you!
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio, Hyperpolis, Jewish Sealand, Orlovckaya, British Andorra, Allynthia
Saint Arsenio hasn't conscripted citizens since the Saint Arsenian Civil War in 1417 (in which the pro-fascist confederacy began mandating service by males 17 and up), having outlawed the practice in 1419, except in instances of imminent danger to national safety and sovereignty (invasion). Veteran Benefits here have been increased many times since then, so we've had little to no issue with voluntary recruitment.
Lunayria, Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
The Dominion of Nihppon abolished conscription in 1974. Previously, from the birth of the country in 1947, any able bodied man of ages 18 to 45 (but mostly young men on their 20s and 30s as well as late teens) were conscripted into either the RJAF (Royal Japanese Air Force), the RJN (Royal Japanese Navy) or the Japanese Army for up to 24 months (some got more).
The high casualties of the Vietnam war plus the 1968 protests and the counter culture movement of the 60s and 70s put pressure on the government, ultimately abolishing conscription.
Conscription law is only to be practiced in case of emergency.
It remains a serious debate in modern Nihppon, many citing the threats of Russia and China and presenting neighbor Choseun as an example of readiness, while many more cite the horrors of war as an argument against it.
Fun fact: Daisuke Nagai is a manga artist that published his first successful manga: "Voodoo Child" in 1984, based on his experiences during his service from 1965 when he was only 19 to 1973, it later had an anime adaptation in 1995.
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio, Hyperpolis, Jewish Sealand
Our nation does not approve (*)
BUT we have something called "emergency legions" where in situations of imminent danger all veterans, regardless of their age, are summoned to the battlefield.
Lunayria, Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
[nation=long]Lunayria[/nation] has a policy of compulsory conscription. Military service is compulsory when Lunayrian Citizens reach the age of 18, though citizens can volunteer from the age of 16.
The length of service is 2-4 years followed by 10-30 years in the nations reserve, when in the reserve citizens only need to serve at most 3 weeks a year. Once the 2-4 years compulsory service is over citizens can opt to stay in the military or leave the military to pursue the career of their choosing.
Depending on the crime/s certain prisoners can choose to serve their sentence in a specialised military branch, with a guarantee of employment once their sentence is over. If the military situation is dire the crime/s prisoners have committed may be overlooked in favour of getting more personnel to the front.
Conscription laws may and have been altered depending on the military situation.
Saint Arsenio, Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Hello everyone!! Nice to be apart of the community! Very impressed with everything!
Lunayria, Romeshire2, Saint Arsenio, Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Choseun has implemented conscription since the beginning of the Commonwealth in 1948 due to the potential threats of Soviet Russia and Communist China.
The National Defense Service Law cites:
"All citizens shall have the duty of national defence under the conditions as prescribed by Act."
It is one of toughest trainings in the world, it's length depends on the branch of the military one is assigned to.
It is basically a hybrid of the Israeli and Korean conscription services.
Jewish Sealand, Allynthia
Soooooo what n-day faction y'all joining? The empire doesn't have one right?
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
NOPE WE HEADING DEEP IN THE OCEAN FOR THIS ONE! CYA HUMANS

Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
Nation-Building Question of the day: What is your nation's/government's main goal/agenda right now?
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Allynthia, Crabastan
get far into the ocean and protect the rest of the crabs, we may take humans but bring them in subs as we can find food
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Allynthia
Look... we may be crabs with human intelligence, thirst for blood and we raid any ships we can find since the Viking era but we are still not monsters! we help people sometimes
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
God save the Crabs! 😂

Breaking news: Apollosei all around the nation, including leader have stopped crab imports to apease Cranstanian crabs
Nihppon, Allynthia, Crabastan
¨finally some one who respects us as a people!¨ exclaims a crab porter as even the chieftain of the crab nation has send free resources and cards to apollose as a thank you.
Nihppon, Allynthia, Apollose
Apollosein leader, Glifis Chai is offering a peace deal to cheiftan of Crabstan. Apollose will ban crab fishing and import. In exchange may Crabstanian show mercy to the humans of Apollose. So what do you say?
Sign deal here⬇️
Nihppon, Crabastan
the crab chieftain signs the agreement and the crabs sign that Apollose is a safe zone for humans and most crabs take vacations there
Nihppon
This is a wonderful day in Apollosein and crab history alike!
Nihppon
Agreed! also would you like a discount on all trade?
Nihppon
Yes
Nihppon
Great! we will add that to the carts and your coasts will be defended if needed!
Nihppon
Thank you very much! We will also try to protect your nation in case of danger.
Nihppon
well we mainly mov around the earth and pillage stuff to bring back here for trade so we may just use your beaches as a port
Nihppon
I see. Well, you are free to do that. And I guess that will be all of the Apollosein peace-dealing for today.
Nihppon, Crabastan
if you would like, we could stay in the water to not disturb you
Nihppon
Nah as long as you stay in the government designated import zone you can use Apollosein sand as a port. I assume that will be all now right?
Nihppon
N-Day is near, my fellow Britons!!! Join our faction and prepare for War!

Several limuz plantations are created in azerbaijan, beware all border nations because limuz spreads very quickly if not controlled
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand
“Anime Nations Against Liberals”
Surely thatÂ’s a contradiction right thereÂ
Nihppon, British Andorra, Allynthia, Apollose
*munches on some crab* have I missed something about intelligent crabs?
Nihppon
Also, my school had a half day today so I got out earlier :D
Nihppon, The Silk Caravan
[Joke] I guess NationStates Game Moderators saw my statement about N-Day because I was planning on sometime this weekend to start predictions LOL!! This is a game changer because there was usually a countdown, Now there is a registration!

WHAT

Bri'ish
What is a n day?
Essentially nuclear war
Jewish Sealand, Allynthia
EYyy, will probably be more active from now on
Nation-Building Question of the Day: What are your nations thoughts on Sustainability?
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon, Sublime State, Jewish Sealand, British Andorra, Allynthia
well without it, the crabs will fail
Hyperpolis, Jewish Sealand
breaking news: A global aquatic war has begun between The crab nation and eels around the oceans, so far the carbs have used wave tactics to use knives and torpedoes to fight the eels for dominance over the reefs of the world
Who will you support in this war of the roaring tides?
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Allynthia
Crabs, obviously it would be strange not to support our greatest ally.
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Crabastan
we will indiscriminately attack and take down any and all foreign forces that comes to OUR REEF WITHOUT PERMISSION.
unless its refugees, wounded personnel, and all.
we have VERY strict policies regarding our natural heritages.
Nihppon
We believe in pro-environment based movements.
And we care of the environment more than the citizens itself, for people are only a part of it and they more or less bring harm to the sacred gifts bestowed upon us by the mother earth.
Therefore, we do not require certain resources for industries, since we have outlawed them, therefore we do not require much imports.
BUT since we have such environment regulations, we do depend heavily on SOME items, such as raw metals, etc.
We as a nation believe that sustainability is key factor in gaining independence from the reliance on foreign goods, which may or may not be produced in a manner that is highly detrimental for nature. We are by no means close to self sustainance, especially with the environmental policies, however we aim for it and we do have some industries that are more or less self sustaining.
Hyperpolis, Nihppon
Sorry for the late response, Nihppon's current government's goals are right now to get more tourists to visit the islands after the Covid lockdown (please come visit!), Find a cure and end Covid, lower taxes and rise levels of employment as well as preparing militarily for a potential conflict with China and Russia,
Hyperpolis, Allynthia
I am not sure if you mean environmental or economic.
If it's environmental, Japanese people are famous for being clean and responsible for everything that surrounds them, the country has a very deep connection with modernity and nature with perfect balance, though, since the 1980s economic bubble, this traditional values have been slowly decreasing.
Hyperpolis, Allynthia
you relize that we are just crabs with knifes and guns, trying to strike us damages your reefs and getting in the water can result in deaths on all sides. oh and for a notice to everyone, we are winning the war cause the eels can bite through our shells! :>
Nihppon
thank you my friend, us crabs will never forget what you are going for us and the supportive role you have with our species!
Nihppon
well... the government takes care of the garbage and the population consumes and litters here so we are throwing the garbage to jupiter and the population does not care about the environment (because it has already been destroyed)
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Allynthia
we will sell weapons to both sides, we have weapons to spare
Lunayria, Nihppon
I have a good and bad news.
The good news is that we created the ministry of water that will be in charge of managing all hydraulic activities
and the bad news is that the limuz is spreading rapidly in the south of Orlovckaya and the north of SainoHind and there is no way to control that plant
Lunayria, Nihppon, Allynthia
Probably best to not say something is happening in another nation that isn't yours without their permission.
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon, Allynthia
Well since IÂ’m trying to become a Libertarian Nation as best as I could, since IÂ’m a Libertarian, Sustainability isnÂ’t a goal for my nation. My nation LOVES Free Trade and believes that any trade with other nations is great as it incentives the other nation to make more of the product to get more money or another good that they canÂ’t make and is essential to the survival of the nation. Now when it comes to the environment, we have done some solid steps. For one, our nation runs on nuclear power which is the best power source and also the least dirtiest one (yes, solar and wind are dirty as batteries need to be made to store the energy they make and those batteries cost very rare metals that are mostly found in the Congo where almost slave like conditions are found in order to mine the rare metals). Now nuclear isnÂ’t truly clean either, but luckily the waste made from it is so small that itÂ’s better at saving the environment than mining out the rest of EarthÂ’s precious metals. We also are trying to get the out of the international climate summit treaty as it doesnÂ’t make other nations follow the goals established at the summit and instead the nations involved only do some limited steps which counts for some reason. Since we believe that Free Trade is great, we might just have Free Trade for both the Eels and the Crabs in the current Ocean Dominance War thatÂ’s happening apparently. Tally Ho Lads!
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, Allynthia
Oi
You expect us to let hostile forces in our marine territory?
Also do not undermine our naval prowess, we have also deployed our fishing vessels to get the intruders as well, along with privateers.
We believe this is plenty to keep the crabs and eels from trespassing.
The Provisional government, DCA, Socialists and Monarchists have sent delegates to Vermillion palace to hopefully negotiate a peaceful solution the on-going crisis. Military High command was also invited to these talks, but all communication with the Lunayrian Military has ceased as of 9 days ago. There have been multiple reports from various sources of some kind of conflict in the north near numerous Level 6 prison facilities, though all of the prisons all clear signals are still active.
As Nihppon stated I'm also not sure if the message is about Economic or Environmental sustainability.
If regarding Environmental sustainability Lunayria is and has invested heavily in ensuring environmental sustainability. We've set numerous nature reserves across the nation to help preserve native wildlife, especially the endangered plants and animals. Along with nature reserves the previous Lunayrian Government had committed vast amounts of money and resources into creating and switching to sustainable power sources. Sadly with the on-going crisis funding to these sectors has been severely reduced.
Hyperpolis, Nihppon, British Andorra
Thank you for the invitation!
