Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
Also, i'd like to apply to join the Royal Navy 😂
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
Lancastria, I welcome your nation into the Empire. I endorse and approve your title of Grand Duke.
I am glad to hear we can call upon you to serve once we have established our armed forces.
Bohemian Republica
Hey, finally someone, who - after founding the region itself - doesn't go inactive for unknown regions! I am triumphant!
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
So, does her majesty use Discord 🤣
Bohemian Republica
I once played a campaign of CKII, as an arabian OPM.
I made my characters caliphs, and it was very one.
Ever since, everytime i RP as a Arabic/islamic country, i use my characters dynasty name from the game. House Medinid, caliphs of the arab world and Rajas of Hindustan.
Bohemian Republica
As such, if there will be a map, I'd like to RP in Arabia.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica, Nepal Idk
Would you be interested in creating and administrating the Imperial Map?
Bohemian Republica
No, not really...
Sorry.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
No to worry. Once we have bigger numbers, I will commission someone to do so.
Bohemian Republica
Do you like my very own region of The New Adriatic?
Bohemian Republica
I'm looking for some sort of Arabic british protectorate flag
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
There are a large variety of historical and fictional British variant flags online. You should no doubt be able to find something to your liking.
Bohemian Republica
We need to find someone who exelles in the art of recruitment.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria
I agree. Unfortunately those people are often in short reply. I will endeavour to find someone.
Lancastria
Now this, is a cool flag that was made for me.
Not quite British Arabia, however, it was meant to be a flag for a British Protectorate of Indochina.
Very fetching.
Bohemian Republica
Alright, I'm here. Not entirely comfortable with the move in all honesty.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
I suppose it's not that different all things considered. I do apologise for not doing very much in my position as SecState for RP & Games, I've been a bit distracted with college. I still plan on running some intraregional RP threads and other fun events, just may take a while to realise those aspirations.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Bohemian Republica
It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but everything we had worked hard to achieve would have been in jeopardy had we remained in the Free States without an active and invested Founder.
Hello everyone. Sorry for my late switch, I got here as soon as i read the regional message.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria
I'm here, and the flag has been struck from the Free States.

WA DELEGATE
I believe Menorica to be the best candidate for the position of WA Delegate. I respectfully ask all WA Nations to endorse him. He will do a wonderful job of representing us on the world stage.
God Save the Queen, Long Live the Empire!
Not-Brittania, Menorica
Just a thought; OOC the "RP" in my title obviously stands for "roleplay". IC it could stand for "recreational pastimes" so as not to break the fourth wall.
Anyway I've updated the House of Commons.
Hi there, i am part of commonwealth
Menorica
A warm welcome to you.
Menorica
Tomorrow, I will issue an update on the progress of our migration from the Free States to the Empire Of Great Britain. I will present my Cabinet and update the region on the work of Her Imperial Majestys Government.
The Founding Father, Not-Brittania, Menorica
Hello to everyone.
The Founding Father, Colfax County
Greetings I am the Ruler of Lunayria,
I've recently joined this region after leaving my region which had become inactive for quite some time. My Friend Shackley told me of this region and from what I am able to see is a very charming peaceful place. I'm not sure how well i'll fit in but i am willing to adapt aspects of my nation to do so if necessary.
I hope it's not a bother my joining of the region.
Thank you for taking time to read this communication
Empress Fea, Ruler of Lunayria
The Founding Father, Colfax County, Not-Brittania, Menorica
Well welcome to The Empire Of Great Britain! We hope you enjoy your stay here.
The Founding Father
Thank you for the warm welcome, I will do my best to enjoy my stay.
If I may, what am I able to partake in?
I welcome you as well. You can start by making yourself known in the House of Commons, our forum, links to which can be found above.
The Founding Father, Colfax County
UPDATE
It is my intention to post a long form update on our situation in the next twenty fours hours.
However, I wish to take this opportunity to inform everyone that HM the Queen Elizabeth II and HRH The Prince of Wales have both ceased to exist within the British Commonwealth Of Free States in the last twenty-fours.
This is sad news indeed, but vindicates our decision as a community to leave the Free States for the security of the Empire. We are much better placed here with an active and invested Founder/Monarch.

Prime Ministers Statement
Today, I declare our constitutional crisis to be over.
Our transition from the British Commonwealth Of Free States is complete and I am now focused on the task of governing the Empire Of Great Britain.
I pledged to retain the Cabinet of my predecessor Regal Windsor when I announced my candidacy for the office of Prime Minister. I am delighted to announce that every Secretary of State from the previous administration has agreed to continue to serve in their current positions.
The Founding Father, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has resigned as Deputy Prime Minister in order to concentrate all of his available time to the Foreign Office. His leadership as Acting Prime Minister throughout the recent election and constitutional crisis was vital in the survival of our community. On behalf of every citizen of the Empire, I thank him for his service during those deeply challenging times.
I have designated Not-Brittania, the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, as the new Deputy Prime Minister and I look forward to closely working with him. He has already proven himself to be a true patriot and his contribution in aiding our move from Free States should not go unrecognized.
Domestic
My top domestic priority is to fill the following vacant positions;
- Speaker of the House of Commons
- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
- Secretary of State for Recruitment
It is vitally important that we have a Speaker in place to organize the day-to-day operations of the House. The nomination and confirmation of a Chief Justice is equally important as we must incorporate a functional judiciary as soon as possible. I pledged a recruitment target of 40 by 1st January 2019 in my election campaign. I believe the only way of achieving this is by having a permanent government minister responsible for running our recruitment campaigns.
If you are interested in any of these positions, please send myself or the Deputy Prime Minister a telegram.
Foreign
The Foreign Office has successfully re-established the majority of the embassies we maintained in the Free States. We will continue to consider any embassy invitations and seek out potentially beneficial diplomatic relationships throughout the world.
United Provinces Emissary, the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is currently on assignment in Iran. My predecessor authorised a diplomatic mission to support a democratic government under a new President. I reauthorised this assignment upon taking office and will closely monitor the progress of the Under-Secretary. The region has been the subject of several invasions and occupations in recent times. However, we believe a stable government can be formed and maintained with international support.
I intend to post regularly on the progress of Her Majesty's Imperial Government. I am happy to receive telegrams on any matter.

Update
All remaining nations in the British Commonwealth Of Free States have ceased to exist.
The region itself will cease to exist at the next update. It is unfortunate to see our old home go so quickly, but we will remember our time there fondly.

EMBASSY UPDATE
The Foreign Office is delighted to announce that we have now completed the construction of embassies with Westphalia.
It is my sincere hope that we can become close allies of Westphalia and begin to cooperate on different fronts relating to defence, diplomacy, games and roleplay.

ALRIGHT GUYS HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! *WHALES THE ATTACK SIREN* https://www.nationstates.net/page=news
Z-Day 7 IS LOOMING!! (AKA Zombie Apocalypse)
*THE PRIME MINISTER OF MENORICA CALLS FOR THE REGION TO BE LOCKED UP A DAY BEFORE THE ATTACK BEGINS TO PREVENT DEAD ZOMBIE NATIONS FROM ACCESSING OUR REGION*
Colfax County, Not-Brittania
The Allied States of Tankreg calls for the Empire of Great Britain to prioritise cure research over all other options during Z-Day 7.
The unconditional killing of "zombies" is seen as hugely unacceptable inside my country - these people had families and friends, and with enough research they are able to be turned back into upstanding citizens of the Region.

The BBC weather reporter announced it was "fairly breezy" outside when my neighbor's cat was flying past my window
Statement from Her Majestys Imperial Government
The above quoted post is deeply unfortunate and completely unacceptable.
HIM Government absolutely does not condone this kind of behaviour. We do not believe it to be representative of our community and the ideals on which this region was founded.
Any further comments of this kind by any nation will result in immediate expulsion and a possible ban.
Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain
Menorica
As Home Secretary, I am pleased to announce that we have a new citizen, song and historical figure of the week.
Our Citizen of the Week is the Allied States of Tankreg for their advocacy for development of a cure for the impending zombie apocalypse.
Continuing with the Prime Minister's anti-apartheid theme, our song of the week is Mannenberg by Abdullah Ibrahim, hailed as an anthem of the anti-apartheid movement.
Again continuing with the anti-apartheid theme, our Historical Figure of the Week is Trevor Huddleston, an Anglican Bishop and a leader of the anti-apartheid movement.
The Founding Father
I am formulating a plan with Cabinet members to prepare for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. I will announce more details later today.
Not-Brittania, Menorica
The Allied States of Tankreg is elated to be announced as the Citizen of the Week, and thanks Not-Brittania.
We will continue to strive towards scientific research and democratic development.

Prime Minister of Menorica's Message on Zombie Apocalypse VII
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1115777
Colfax County, Not-Brittania
OPERATION FORTRESS
Her Majestys Government have devised a plan called Operation Fortress for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria will password-protect the Empire Of Great Britain at 12:00 GMT, approximately eight hours before the apocalypse is scheduled to begin. The Empire will remain password-protected for the duration of the outbreak. No nations who leave in this time will be readmitted until after the apocalypse has subsided. The password will remain a secret known only to the Empress.
The Government believes the focus of every nation within the Empire during the outbreak should be aiding the development of a cure by combating the infection with considerable Research. Nations with more experience combating outbreaks are encouraged to advise other nations on the RMB throughout this Operation.
The Home Office will help co-ordinate our efforts by sending updates and advice via telegram. The Foreign Office will suspend all diplomatic activity during the thirty-three hours. The House of Commons will suspend all business, with the exception of the vote to confirm the Chief Justice.
Being activity during the Apocalypse is crucial, so make sure youre online as much as possible in the next few days.
Lets pull together and win this battle as a united Empire!
Not-Brittania
Statement from the Crown Regarding 'Operation Fortress'...
On the advice of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, I have password-protected the Empire Of Great Britain until the end of the Zombie Apocalypse.
Please follow the instructions of the government with regard to combating the outbreak.
1 MORE HOUR UNTIL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE VII STARTS!
THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF MENORICA HAS BEEN UPDATED:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=lodge_dispatch
WE ARE NOW AT 0 DAY AT 0 HOUR!
Not-Brittania
I would like to remind you all that you may begin researching a cure (as per the Imperial Government's request) by clicking the red "biohazard" button on your nation's homepage.
Not-Brittania, Menorica
For those of you actively developing cures, if you could periodically fire cure missiles at nations with the highest zombie counts, that would be most appreciated.
I'm pretty sure that my scavengers dying. they disapeared , and lost signal
This isn't good, Northern Monrodesia is building an zombie empire againts me
After i save other nations, by sending zombie hunters, i decide to change my plot, instead i must focus on research
Hey, i could use some cure missiles , like right now, they're alots of zombies trying to destroy my Vault door
Well done, all. We have officially turned the graph around!
Shackley, Menorica
Every nation researching a cure should fire at least one Cure Missile at every other nation in the region with an infected population.
Not-Brittania, Menorica
I may have fired more than one missile, hope that wasn't an issue I was a bit bored and had too much spare time, and I believe to be one of the only nations left in the region with infected. I very much appreciate every nations help and will to research a cure and saving billions of people over just killing masses of curable people.
Colfax County, Not-Brittania
Great news! My nation has no longer got any infected in it's borders.
Colfax County, Shackley, Not-Brittania
Greater news! This means that the Empire of Great Britain is now 100% zombie-free!
Well done to all those who did their part in developing a cure, and begrudging thanks to the death-squads which exterminated those the cure couldn't reach.
Congratulations chaps.

Anyone who has not yet voted to confirm or deny Creekmoor as the inaugural justice of the Supreme Court should do so within the next two days.
The poll can be found near the top of the RMB.

Hello, all!
It's time for another edition of Things of the Week.
The Citizen of the Week is Lunayria for their ceaseless aid of all other nations in the Empire during Z-Day. We are indebted to them.
The Song and Historical Figure of the Week are linked to the fact that Armistice Day is this coming weekend, marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
The Song of the Week is, of course, It's A Long Way To Tipperary, which was a popular song among the British and Commonwealth soldiers throughout the war.
The Historical Figure of the Week is Edith Cavell, a British nurse who saved wounded from both sides on the Western Front and is most remembered for helping 200 Allied soldiers escape German-occupied Belgium. She was caught, sentenced to death for treason and killed by a German firing squad.
Two great quotes from her are "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone," and "I cant stop while there are lives to be saved."
Have a lovely week.
Deputy Prime Minister, Home Secretary.
Colfax County, Lunayria, Shackley
CABINET ADDITION
I am delighted to announce that Menorica has been appointed as Secretary of State for Recruitment.
His first task will be writing a new recruitment telegram for the region before developing a wider recruitment strategy to increase our regional population.
The Secretary will continue as WA Delegate. I am confident in his ability to perform in both roles.
Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain
Lunayria, Not-Brittania, Menorica
Already done. The second i found out i was appointed yesterday i quickly wrote out a recruitment telegram.
Colfax County, Lunayria, Shackley, Not-Brittania
Well done, sir!
Shackley
Congratulations Menorica on your new position, I am glad to see such a dedicated and Friendly Nation in charge of this important task.
Colfax County, Shackley, Not-Brittania
I have extended the diplomatic mission of the United Provinces Emissary in Iran until Monday 3rd December.
The mission will be reviewed again nearer the deadline and a further decision made on our continued presence there.
Not-Brittania, Menorica
SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCEMENT
The House of Commons has voted to confirm nominee Creekmoor as our inaugural Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Empire Of Great Britain.
I offer my warmest congratulations to the new Chief Justice and ask him to take his Oath of Office here on the RMB at his earliest convenience. The template for the Oath can be found below the WFE.
This is a fantastic achievement and I hope as we continue to develop that other Justices will join the Chief Justice on the bench.
Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain
Lunayria
As new Chief Justice, I oath to honour my position and serve the people of this region well in times of need and legislation.
Colfax County, Lunayria, Not-Brittania, Nabbu Nubia
Honourable Chief Justice. I congratulate you on your appointment. Here is your oath. Please repeat after me:
I, Creekmoor, in the presence of God and my peers, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Empire Of Great Britain, entrusted to me by HRH the Empress and HM's Government, defend the Charter and the Sovereignty of the Empire against all threats, so help me God. God save the Empress!

You may be aware that I've just sent some regionwide telegrams informing you of my mission to update and improve the Imperial Map. Please TG me with your territory requests and a copy of the flag you wish me to label said territories with.
You can keep up with the progress of the new Imperial Flag here
Thanks again.

REGIONAL WELCOME
I address the nations of Saviours Hope who have arrived in the Empire Of Great Britain in the last twenty-four hours.
It is my sincere hope that you come to this region in peace and not to disrupt our internal politics. I also hope that reports of an attempted invasion of Iran by nations from Saviours Hope can be proven to be completely untrue.
We stand by our allies Iran and are willing to extend a hand of friendship to anyone who is willing to do the same in good faith.
Prime Minister of the Empire Of Great Britain
The Founding Father, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
With regards to the slew of new members joining our region I suggest that we prioritise the establishment of the Royal Navy so that we may better defend ourselves in the event of a hostile invasion.
We do not want all we've worked for this far to be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Colfax County, Not-Brittania
I wholeheartedly agree with you Mr Secretary. The establishment of the Royal Navy must be completed before the end of the calendar year.
However, the citizens of the Empire Of Great Britain can rest assured that the non-executive nature of our WA Delegate means that we cannot be occupied by any invasion force.
I am being open minded about the new nations currently in our region. However, any attempt by any of the new nations to disrupt the Empire or our internal politics will result in their permanent expulsion and ban. This is the firm stance of Her Imperial Majesty's Government.
Lunayria, Shackley, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio, Menorica
An Official Statement Regarding The Slow Amount of Members Joining:
[spoiler]Hello everyone, I apologize for the slow amount of members joining, I am trying as hard as i can to recruit more, I have studied that recruitment messages sometimes have the recruitment messages block setting set to On for some countries that i may select. So sadly i won't know if i have successfully or not successfully recruited a country, The only time i would be able to know if i were successful if i were to be messaged back or the country moves here. If anyone have any questions please Telegram me or reply to this statement.[/spoiler]
Lunayria, Saint Arsenio
I too agree with both of you Prime Minister Colfax County and Secretary Shackley, but we cannot forget about the threat of a new Nation rising to power in a different position that has the power to close Embassies, ban Nations, etc., which is why I also agree that we need to quickly build up the Royal Navy to protect the Empire Of Great Britain from any Invasions.
I do, also think that instead of aiming for the end of the calendar year to get the Royal Navy Established, I suggest we aim for the Beginning of December, or at most, before Christmas. This way, we can be sure that all the hard work and effort put into this great Region can be safe.
Lunayria, Shackley
How is a "Navy" Created and used, I am not to familiar with this concept. If someone would kindly answer this for me, I would be most grateful.
Saint Arsenio
I am new to this Region, and I'm not sure how they use the Royal Navy, but my guess would be a group of Volunteer Nations join it, and they protect the Region from Invasions like new Regions who try to take over and destroy the Region by Banning them, Ejecting them, etc. Hope my response helped!

Lunayria, Not-Brittania, Saint Arsenio
Seeing as The Great Survival War for Shackley is now drawing to a close I'll have more time on my hands to get involved in new RPs, and I think it's high time we have a proper regional RP thread. If anybody has any ideas on what scenarios would be fun and fitting for our great Empire please don't hesitate to let me know.
Also, if needed I am perfectly happy to start some FAQ/Advice threads giving tips on how to write a convincing and engaging RP post. The world of NationStates RP can be daunting to begin with, but believe me it only gets easier with time and practice.
Feel free to TG or whatever if interested.
