Region: England
Perhaps I should change it to the British flag. Then I could be the British English person.
Better still, why not come up with a flag of your very own? If you like, I can make one for you. Just tell me what you want and I'll give it a go (I can do simple flags).
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Suth Seaxe
I'll try making my own first!
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Isle Of Westland
Why not use the flag of the county you have on the map....there are quite a few online county flag registry you can rip an image from
The British Boy
Fish And Chip Lovers should make their flag a dish of fish and chips lol.
The Folly, Fish And Chip Lovers
Lol.
Also, bing bang boom, Welcome to Gloucestershire.

I'd like to know how you made your nations map. Its very well done.
hm?
Thank you, I used MS Paint :) I wanted it to look a bit like Google maps so I used the same font and colours.
Noice. In Hot Fuzz, the fictional village of Sandford is in Gloucestershire.
No luck catching them swans then?
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe
Damn, now that's some real attention to detail. You do a wonderful job with the maps, mate! :)
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Isle Of Westland, Suth Seaxe, The British Boy
I just have that flag
That's very kind, thank you.
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Folly
You too! And have some tea everyone.

Great poll. Also, I have completed my judiciary system proposal. Check it out here:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1704839
Feedback is welcome
well for starters, if you're looking to seem official, don't start off with "hallo."
While not covered, i think an appointment of judges by the ruling monarch would be nice. also, maybe instead of making new puppet nations and new regions, why not just conduct this business on an external-site like a forum?
Finally, i still don't feel that a court system would be really needed at the size we are currently at. Maybe in the future, but we are comfortable size right now, and until things grow, i see no reason for this sort of thing. Overall, good idea, but for now, i would say that we should let this idea simmer, expand upon, improve, and wait before we make something this major an idea come to light.

Where's Yorkshire Tea, PG tips, & Tetley Tea? Some of us are simple folk!
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, The Folly, Market Deeping
Most of those are a breakfast blend of sorts.....im honestly not sure why there is any other option than ... yes please.
Lol 😄
The Folly
I have difficulty imagining what this is for, without a few examples. Could you list some examples: What could be a case? What could be a punishment?
For example, is it something like this: The Folly passes legislation about eating its national animal. Some region mate brings this before the regional court on behalf of my poor national animals who really deserve better. The Folly is found guilty, and the punishment is to instate the national animal as leader for at least a month. (As far as I know, the issue about eating one's national animal can not be reversed, at least not easily.) Ok this might be sort of amusing... Amusing enough for many similar repeats?
Clearly we will need more tea polls! Looking forward to yours.
Market Deeping
Yorkshire gold is the only choice for the discerning gentleman.
Although earl gray is nice occasionally, but I'm a Philistine and prefer it with milk. Perhaps you can all sue me in the new English court for heresy :)
The Folly
[spoiler=Quotes]
[/spoiler]I largely saw this being used, yes for a couple of jokes, but I do agree that right now it is not the most needed. My thought was if (and when) we expand as a region, it would be good to have a system in place. Thank you for your feedback.
Market Deeping
Im sorry who drinks tea without some kind of dairy in it??
I must admit i rarely take tea with with cheese and yogurt much these days ....but i don't know about you other guys
Fish And Chip Lovers, Market Deeping
ahahaha, welcome back! in general, i meant more of a milk or creamer in that sense, lol. But you do you, man.
The Papal County Of Derbyshire
sure. :)
How about this?
Sentiment's nice but.... I'll see if I can make something lol
sure, why not, man?
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Fish And Chip Lovers
How about this Fish and Chips?

And a new national park has been added to the catalog, from The Folly! All submissions for national parks must be submitted to me by May 15th, 24:00 EST, or I will not be able to put it in until the 27th of May. Sorry, folks. I will try and get a map of the parks made in the span of a few months from now, but I'll wait until we have a few more. Also, for the region-wide greenness index of all nations here, you should expect for this month's edition to be published from around the earliest at the 27th to the latest at the 29th. Thank you all, cheers!
~~ Market Deeping
Update: South Cotswold And Mendip's national park has been listed as well, so be sure to check theirs out as well! Thanks to you all who are participating or supporting, it means a lot. (:
The Folly, Isle Of Westland
Does anybody know how influence works in regions? It doesn't make any sense to me...
Influence automatically increases as time goes on, and with more wa endorsements, the influence increases more too.
Isle Of Westland
You will notice that for nation my size and length of residence in England my influence is low, i used a lot of mine up in ejecting and banning the invading nations...
But it is a bit of a random system that is hard to follow
Isle Of Westland, Market Deeping
Thanks both, that explains things.
Market Deeping
I see some people were getting banned. More of those no good Scots?
Not sure about Scots, but they recently left England to participate in a raid and so I deemed them untrustworthy.
Suth Seaxe, The British Boy, Wesangeln
Ah. Seems smart
Actually, I'm one of the ppl that helped defend your region when it was attacked. I'm just inactive. Layem was just a terrible region and it's leader personally attacked me before in a rl way.
The Papal County Of Derbyshire
Well then you have my thanks in that case. I'm unaware of Layem (it was a region called Concord that I saw being raided) but as for any real life drama, I'm afraid that's really none of my business or concern.
Just explaining my side of things. ofc.
Last day to get in votes on current tea poll. Hope there will be more polls by you and others!
First let me say thank you for that help and how honoured i feel that you have chosen to stay with us .
As to your experience in another region, im so sorry some absolute idiot has done this too you.
Here in England we accept all without fear or favour , ..... your skin colour, your sexual orientation now or at birth, religion, height , weight, preferred language....it means nothing not one dam thing.
What matters here is that you treat everyone with the respect that you yourself would want. That you are a decent and kind neighbour to the other nations in the region, that you remember this is a game....games are for fun.
I have offered this before and i say it again......if anyone in England is suffering....not matter how big or small it is .....message me, I'm here for any of you. To talk to chat to just listen as you vent....don't be alone, don't suffer. Most of all don't be afraid to reach out.
England is a place where you can be whom you want to be and while ever i have any tiny say in it i will defend your right to be here and be whom you want.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... We're not messing around now.
According to the Retail Times, as of last year Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips have been named as the nations favourite tea brands, with over a quarter of the population declaring their love for each.
I'll shortly create a poll with the aim of deciding which brand reigns supreme in this here region of England.
I'm sure this won't cause too much animosi-tea between us co-inhabitants!
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, The Folly, Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe, Wesangeln
Well after a staggering; and possibly record breaking, FOUR votes, it appears that our region of England has no apparent favourite between the quintessentially English tea brands Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips.
Perhaps the next poll ought to be Brie Vs Camembert...
Enjoy your Sunday folks!
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, Market Deeping, Wesangeln
Hm, maybe when we have more people on, we might get a better result? Anyways, thats gonna help me segment into this next bit I was thinking about. Should we consider venturing into recruiting for more people to join?
Sure. I have a recruitment TG I wrote if anyone wants it.
Market Deeping
Yeah, I saw. It looks really well put-together! Guess its really in the kings hands though.
That it is. That it is.
Chaps we don't have a king .
At moment i am taking the lead but this is a new start and we are a group of equals.
Go recruit, smooze other countries, get more active people, expand the horizons....start roleplay if thats your thing.....you all have talents, enthusiasm and cracking good looks....show the world what the men and women of England can do...they will come.
If you have an idea...bring it forth here....its an open debate with no secrets....if an idea is not shot down then its got legs, and if an idea hss legs...run with it
Isle Of Westland, Market Deeping, The British Boy
Added to that, we have a Queen already ;)
The Papal County Of Derbyshire
Ahh, I see. I guess its hard to tell where the line between reality and Roleplay on here is.
Edit: fixed sentence, after realizing it didnt make sense.
The Papal County Of Derbyshire
I had terrible income inequality, but bringing in working from home brought low incomes up over 700%
This game sure can be confusing
I don't even bother playing the game like you're supposed to tbh
I just answer issues randomly for chaos' sake.
Market Deeping
My nation is finally where i want it to be. Started with low freedoms, but I've began giving more freedoms and getting more progressive, and now I'm getting things like high culture, cheese production, and tourism rankings. Things are looking up!
The British Boy, Wesangeln
I had a filibuster issue come up, and the option to ignore it said "life feels like it repeats itself." I've now had that same issue for the last 3 days :D
RIP The leicester city football club :'(
On a lighter subject... What are you guys up to this long Jubilee weekend? I'm heading to a fancy steak restaurant tonight where I aim to try Bone Marrow for the first time, and tomorrow to a Jubilee celebration BBQ! Likes me food me.
The Folly, Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe
I really wish I lived over there :( . I'll probably have some decorations regardless, might even hang a few British flags out my house. Probably drown my sorrows of being an American by browsing r/casualuk lol.
Hmm, platinum jubilee-themed poll anybody?
The Folly, Isle Of Westland, The British Boy
I don't always but should appreciate the fact that our region of England is but an internet England and not all subjects actually live here! Good on you though, hope you don't get too much stick from neighbours!
Market Deeping
Just back from a big jubilee bbq. waiting to see the towns beacons being lit now!
The Folly, Isle Of Westland, Market Deeping, The British Boy
I also live in America. I wish I could live in England, but ah well. I do keep up with the Queen though! Every couple of days I look at the most recent news. Maybe Ill convince my family to do some English stuffs and things
Isle Of Westland, Market Deeping
You are our cousins after all.
You've just gone astray with a Presidency and thinking a Monarch is out of date and "unfair".
I'm just glad Elizabeth II was able to block a President Tony Blair... or President Boris Johnson. Bojo got boo'd at the Jubilee celebrations :D
I reserve the right to criticise all MP's and cheer for the Monarch. I think its a fundamental part of our freedoms actually.
Isle Of Westland, The British Boy
Ugh, ugly scenario indeed.
On the other hand, imagine if somehow the vagaries of succession had produced a King Andrew. :P
Can't there be better alternatives?
In the interest of preventing our chilled out region from descending into a political sluggerfest (there will inevitably be a wide range of contradicting viewpoints), I'd suggest we... err..... have another cup of tea!
Suth Seaxe
TEA FOR EVERYONE!
Wesangeln
accepts teacup
Thank you! Smells delicious. What...
The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Commemorative Teacup

The rain is sizzling on the beacon fires still burning across Wesangeln. In every town and villages people are nursing hangovers. Its a shame time go back to normal.
Isle Of Westland, Suth Seaxe
Lol, I read this as the bacon (aka rashers) is sizzling on the grill at first. I was so confused and delighted at the same time.
Suth Seaxe, Wesangeln
I just got An entire pack of season 1 cards. I thought it was meant to be mega rare to even get one card?
I just got 5 in a row

When the birdsong poll is over, does anyone want to create a men's headwear poll?

Good morning.
Suth Seaxe
Hope everyone is having a good week so far, I'd just like to share this song about a place I'm very fond of, where I lived and spent many of my years.
I apologise for the singing, (I think he's pissed), it's a bit naff but rather wholesome I think, it also gives you a good example of my local dialect, my accent isn't quite as strong though!

The Folly
Okay I just listened to it again and it gets even worse the second time... I'm sorry 😂
Call the Yeomen! Attempted raid in progress. All on high alert.
Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe, Wesangeln
I saw you banned a few people. Can't see any new ones coming in yet. I'll look out for a few hours
Isle Of Westland, The British Boy, Wesangeln
I haven't enough influence to lock the borders.. can anyone with influence put the password protected status up please?
Invasion potential from othrics. Westland just banned their leader.
https://www.nationstates.net/region=othrics
The Papal County Of Derbyshire, we need HELP!
Don't panic!
Suth Seaxe
Do you have enough influence to lock the borders? I looked at the FAQ, and I think that whoever does will spend most if not all of their influence
We've had only two invaders so far, we may be jumping the gun here slightly. I'll spend all of my influence locking the region with a password, but until I hear back from the other officers I'll hold off.
Right, I'm off to bed now - it's only a half day tomorrow but I'm up at 4:30am as usual
(눈‸눈)
Night all.
Market Deeping, The British Boy
The invading region on their dispatches say they look for founder less and casual regions.
I would lock the border for now if you have influence to do so.
Well, seeing as weve only had two invaders to deal with, I would say that theres no reason to panic. Remember, us Brits have to keep a stiff upper lip, and remember that a cup of tea usually makes things better. Carry on, chaps! Cheers!
Isle Of Westland
Couldn't have put it better myself... Actually I could have:
English, rather than Brits!
Market Deeping
Well, yes, but I figured for the sake of sentence-sounding, us brits rolled off the tongue better than us englishmen
If any of you are familiar with the online influencer Dhar Mann, yesterday he released a video that had me dying. It was set in England, which I was not expecting, and something about it really made me laugh. Heres the link if anyone wants to watch it:
https://youtu.be/6kMTsBUUGTM
The Folly
Oh how I detest the whole "influencer" fad... and what on earth are those accents?! Are they trying to sound like Russo-Jamaican Leprechauns? Just awful. XD
Thats what had me in shambles. MY English accent is better than that. And I picked it up from watching the Harry Potter movies way too much. Maybe Ill do a clip of me using an English accent, just to see how other people see it.
Isle Of Westland
Smh, you watch dhar mann..
I watch it for the memes
Sure you do

Im sorry i have been away .
I'm dealing with the death of my wife in a car accident.
I will one day be back but right now i have my children to look after.
Take care my friends....you are always with me in my thoughts
Words truly cannot express how very sorry I am to hear that, that's absolutely heartbreaking. You're a good father, and being there for your children is the most important thing in the world.
You have my deepest condolences and all my best wishes.
- Callum (Isle of Westland)
I am so sorry for your loss. You have taken the time to message here, that is a reflection of your good character. The kids are in good hands.
All the best to you and the family,
Mason
Oh that's awful. Prayers your way. We will look after the place until you come back.
it's very sad to hear about.
Words cannot begin to express how sorry I feel for you my friend. I recently suffered the loss of a close mentor and friend, his life taken by Covid. Im not saying this for sympathy, Im just saying that I feel for you, and the devastating impact this can have, especially if it was a family member. Please take all the time you need. We are here for you, and you and your family will be in my prayers.
- The Not Actually British Boy
Sorry to hear about your loss. I will have you and your family in my prayers.
I'm not a Papist. Indeed, I haven't seen the inside of a church of any denomination since I was a child, but given the circumstances, I think it appropriate to say...
In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
