My parents were never that strict with me, they didn't allow me to have bad grades, but if I got 8s or 9s (the Mexican equivalent to Cs or B's respectively) they were fine with that.

I am rather strict with myself. I don’t like to get B’s.

BREAKING NEWS

After Mr. Marple, a renowned private detective known for solving every case with no innocents hurt, has just successfully deduced that the president of British Andorra, President Joshua Stevens, killed Mr. Shylock Holmes! After a spectacular trail, Joshua, was found Guilty! Thus he has been placed in jail for life and has been forcefully abdicated from the role of executive. His Vice President, one Rachel Adams, has become president for the remainder of Steven’s term. Only a few months in and Stevens has been foiled by being bad at hiding his murder..let’s hope Adams can finish his term of almost 3 years and 8 months.

This is quite the turn of events. Let us hope that President Rachel Adams isn't hiding any skeletons in their closet as well.

Also now that President Joshua Stevens has been arrested what is to come of the aid in creating a constitution for [nation=long]Lunayria[/nation]?

Saint Arsenio is glad that justice was served, and that Mr. Shylock Holmes' family has received closure for the murder of their loved one.

Following a briefing on the situation, Prime Minister Thomas, joined by State Minister George Tremblay and WA Ambassador Yolanda Wright, issued the following statement, "We send our best wishes to President Rachel Adams and the nation of British Andorra during these turbulent times. On behalf of all of Saint Arsenio, we hope that the transfer of presidential power was swift and smooth as President Adams ascended to the presidency."

The arrest of Joshua Stevens has shown the world that in British Andorra, its leaders are held accountable for their actions as the rest of the population. Many nations would keep their leader even if they were accused of a crime, but by arresting Stevens you have shown that in your nation the law applies to everyone, and it does not unfairly protect its leaders.

[spoiler=News From Lunayria]After conducting a raid on a prominent casino near Lunayrian capital, suspected of laundering money, it was discovered that many of the patrons of the casino were in fact children under the legal gambling age. Outraged by this many citizens have petitioned the Lunayrian provisional government to shut the casinos down and outlaw gambling. The petition has gained a significant amount of backing and now the provisional government has announced that, until further notice, gambling has been outlawed and all places of gambling (Horse racing, casinos, etc) are to be shut down until a new regulatory body can be established to ensure strict standards are set in place an enforced.

In other news the Lunayrian Government has increased the budget going towards helping veterans, with this increase of budget the government has been able to open several specialist hospitals to help those who have been injured or are suffering from mental conditions. This budget also aims to open up many centres across the nation to help aid veterans adjust to life outside the military and to also set them up with jobs.

And finally the Lunayrian military has successfully put down a attempted secession by a overzealous town in northern Lunayria. The leader of the secessionists, and former town chairman, claimed that it was "just a joke" and "should not have been taken so seriously". Despite claiming it was "just a joke" there has been considerable evidence uncovered to prove otherwise, some of which include the leaders renouncing their citizenship and then proceeding to destroy several monuments and burn numerous flags. This has been viewed as completely heinous given the recent riots and protests that have occurred. Those that have been apart of the attempted "secession" have been arrested with their trials being scheduled, given the evidence against the "secessionists" it has been theorised that the leaders may be placed on trial for high treason.

Very interesting news from Lunayria. President Rachel Adams support the later two pieces on Veterans and the radical secessionists. However, Rachel Adams has a thing or two to say about gambling. She thinks that gambling being considered outlaw is very broad and might even outlaw simple children betting very small amounts on stuff or just joking around. She wishes for gambling be the number one priority for the government once Lunayria gets rebuilt to a good state. Oh and by the way, Joshua Steven’s Constitution for Lunayria has been found in his desk which is now Rachel Adam’s. Rachel wishes to send it the provisional government for review if this is ok? It may have signs however of Steven’s private mental decline so it may need heavy revisions if adapted. Tally Ho Lad!

For me, lately I've been getting a let into shoegaze and neo psychedelic rock.

If you are interested, for shoegaze listen to the big three: My bloody valentine, Slowdive and Ride.

As for neo psychedelic I like the Stone Roses a lot and the Brian Jones town massacre.

I don't blame you, shoegaze is not really popular... Music nerd time!

Shoegaze makes more emphasis on the texture and quality of sound rather than the structure of a song or meaning of the lyrics, this is very evident when you pay really close attention to the song, the oversaturation of guitar effects makes the voices seem, like I would describe it, "underwater" or "blurry".

You should give them a try, if you like them, good, and if you don't, well, at least you tried, we must not be forced to like or dislike music, it must happen naturally.

I have way too much food that I like. The best I could do is say that italian and japanese foods are amazing. I mean real Italian and Japanese foods. They show great respect for clean ingredients and a great mixture of tradition and innovation.

As for the board poll for favorite dessert, I would pick pie. I love pie crust and pie is so versatile. You can have breakfast pie (quiche), a lunch/dinner pie (pot pie, shepard's pie, cottage pie, etc.), and then there are tons of dessert pie variants. Dutch apple pie is my personal favorite, but all pies are good.

While I don't quite remember when exactly I joined the region, it has been a very good time.

Jewish Sealand wrote:The World Building Question of Today:

Well the Basque and Spanish People are the two main culture groups within my nation and the English are a minority culture group. The thing that keeps the nation together was the British. They helped the Basque and Spanish come past their differences and see that they are the same in many ways. So yeah, :p

Jewish Sealand wrote:The World Building Question of Today:

Nihppon's culture is, well, Japanese, but it also has notable influences from it's neighbors China and Korea, as well as very notable Anglo- Japanese-American style in culture, business, politics etc.

It is a much more diverse country than real life Japan, although the predominant group still is the Yamato people (comprising 96.3% of the population), there are also Koreans, Chinese, Australians, Vietnamese, Russians, Ainu, Ryukyuans, French, Peruvians, Indians, Pakistanis, British, Filipinos, Sri Lankans, Indonesians, Americans, Nepalese, Brazilians, Taiwanese, Dutch, Burmese, Thais, Mongols, Bangladeshis, New Zealanders and Cambodians (not in that order), there is also a growing community of Africans and African-americans.

No group of people are above another or denied education or healthcare and all are equal under the law and the Japanese Constitution.

Although there have been cases of race motivated violence between this groups and separatist terrorist organisations, these have been rare and the last where more prominent and active during the 1970's (once Tokyo went into full martial law for one month because of a group of Ryukyu Republican Army members took the Mayor of Tokyo hostage and lied about a full uprising happening in the city in 1976, this event is known as the Winter crisis).

As for what keeps the nation together, I would say it's the Queen and the royal family, despite the rough colonial history, many Japanese thank the British for modernising the country and providing education (like a much larger Hong Kong).

Also, approval rates to remain a Dominion are at 95%, while approval of the Royal Family are of 88%.

Menorica and all, thank you for your kind posts on celebrating the 4th Birthday of the Empire Of Great Britain. Over this past year, we have reached milestones and broken records like never before in the history of this great region. The Royal Navy, based out of our Jump Point, Kingdom Of Australia, is stronger and more active than ever. Just a couple weeks ago, we hit 39 targets. As a region, we had our voices heard loud and clear within the World Assembly.

I would like to thank you all the Nations who keep our RMB alive and thriving. I am so honoured to serve as your Princess of Wales.

A New Poll is Up!

--------------------------------

The question of this week's poll is the following: How are the schools in your nation administered?

For the poll I added five different options you can choose and an additional 'other' option if the other choices don't represent the way your nations' policy works.

Finally, I would like to clarify that when I say 'local governments', I'm referring to the governments of your nation's subdivisions, like provinces, states, etc.

The whole state was used to be reliant on the Türk Türkiye(Turkish Turkey) policy from the Mavi Rejim(1948-1974) into the Ismail Era(1974-1983) until being abolished under the present goverment. This policy advocated for Turkinization of Non-Turkish Areas as well as segregation. Kurds and Slavs are segregated to lower quality parts of life while the average Turk enjoyed more rights. After the fall of Supreme Vizier Ismail, the goverment repealed many of the laws replacing it with the Büyük Birlik(Grand Union) Policy which promoted other cultures to be as equal as Turks.

For my cultural identity its quite alternate to OTL Turks being a combination of Tatar and Turk. This Alternate Turkish culture is more settled with some amounts of nomadism in its early days something like the Manchus. We also believe in the Turanian Superstate after the rise of Nationalism and the creation of the Nation-state though we are, for now, have stop progressed on the unfication of the Alternate Turkish race

Today is the start of a new era for [nation=long]Lunayria[/nation].

With a historic nationwide vote Lunayria is to move away from socialism and adopt a form of capitalism, the results were 78.65% for the move to capitalism and 21.35% against this motion. Work has already begun on making this move.

Some areas of industry are to remain state owned industry for the time being. As of now they only area under state control is the health care industry, though discussions are being made as to adding more to the list.
