Region: England
Words cannot describe the pain you must be feeling right now. This is a pain we as a whole community must share. I think it is safe to say that we are all terribly grieved to hear of such a tragic event happen to you. Remember, we are here for you.
Now, as a member of the Anglican communion in the episcopal church, in the English tradition, i would like to quote a prayer from the book of common prayer.
Eternal Lord God, you hold all souls in life: Give to your whole Church in paradise and on earth your light and your peace; and grant that we, following the good examples of those who have served you here and are now at rest, may at the last enter with them into your unending joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Now, in the spirit of mourning for the departed beloved of our leader, I would like to propose a seven-day silence, in remembrance for this tragic event, if all do agree to it.

Thank you for mentioning it here, even though you're under no obligation to share anything personal. We're all in need of reminders that all our lives are uncertain and transient. I wish you and your children all the best. I wish you courage to endure the inevitable recurring pain. Hope you can get support and an open ear from others and from each other. Grieving takes a long time, grief comes in waves, grieving is different for everyone. There are no shortcuts. The only way is right through. When relatives whom you like and trust, and good friends offer to help you out with practicalities once in a while, please don't hesitate to call them - sooner rather than later. Some people find it very difficult to request help. Please don't wait until you're overwhelmed. If the roles were reversed, you'd help your friends too. Same goes for friends who ask you to call them when you are feeling sad and want to talk to someone. They mean it, take them up on the offer, you'd do it for them too.

Hello,
I banned The Thearchy of Charmshire as they came in from a raiding region last night during the update. They have telegrammed me as they said they were here before.
If anyone recognizes them please let me know.
Thanks
Edit:
I have unbanned The Thearchy of Charmshire as they telegrammed and explained the situation. I log in at update times to check on border controls after the recent raids. Nothing personal :)

You're just doing your job. Thank you.

Welcome back to England. :)

P.S if your worried that I'm at war rn dont worry I'm trying to fix it. a nation was kidnapping my tourists

A rare, but welcome, appearance from the ToL. Hows it going?
I found my old nation name in my emails from 19 years ago. I was really hoping to resurrect it but unfortunately it became ancient and no longer can be refounded. This is now my 3rd or 4th nation in this game :D
How some have managed to login repeatedly for 20+ years is quite astounding to me.
The Folly
I've seen my fair share of "Apocalypse Looms in Rhanukhan" emails over the years prompting me to log in and do something to keep the place going, but I only let the nation lapse once and that was deliberate. It had only been my intention to let the population grow to something matching the real Earth and then move on to other things. I forget what lured me back in the end, but there are now nearly 40 billion Rhanukhanis - it'll be a fair old while before the real world catches up with us, methinks. ;)
The Folly, Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe, M R 4
Thameshire and Charmshire just ceased to exist. Rip to those nations!
M R 4
My friends im humbled by your words.
Thank you, you have touched my heart greatly.
Things are slowly getting towards a new normal, nothing will ever be the same and the hole will never totally fill, but my children need structure and they need to move onwards and upwards to the fantastic young ladies we always knew they would be .... so i have a purpose and a better future than i imagined recently.
I will be around more and more though i make no definite commitments at the moment.
My door is still there for those in need, trust me my friends an ear to listen is worth 10,000 platitudes ....it helps, it really does.... i am more than happy to talk to anyone hurting... sharing and caring make us human and we should strive to be more human.
Take care

Well, well - sixteen new banners suddenly earned all in one day (including the revelation that I passed 1,000 issues resolved at some point)! Maybe I'll treat my citizens to a national holiday...

...I hope they enjoyed it. ;P

I've discovered a trading card that has zero owners. I wonder what the chances of finding it are? I wonder how many cards have never been found

Hope you are all well. And still sending hope and prayers to Derbyshire.

The name Winston Churchill becomes available in 41 days. Maybe somebody here could make a decent puppet for this region with that name?

I got you
After a few weeks of trading I'm now #1 in England for deck value :)
I'm about half way to completing the full set of s1 and s2 england region cards. I'm planning on "opening" a museum at the end when I can't find any more.
Theres some very rare s1 cards which are hard to come by. But the cards give a good snapshot of the region as it was during that time. Hopefully make a good ebc news article ;)
When Derbyshire comes back I'd like to organise a Sunday league cricket cup too. If anyone has organised a sports event before could you get in touch to help me arrange it?
Thank you and just a reminder that Derbyshire you are still in our thoughts. Stay strong

Ah, back when I was still flying the Standard of the Golden Wing (or "Ol' Flappy" as it's colloquially known by the citizens ;) ) as my national flag. It was the emblem of the leading political party and can thus still be seen on many government buildings alongside the traditional State Banner that His Resplendence, The Supreme Chairman restored a couple of years ago, to much public acclaim. Rhanukhanis do love their burrowing octopuses. :)
I wonder if there'll be a season 3? I notice a few of our younger nations don't have a card available.

Hello, I am here bc I want to be independent from France (maybe too much rp)

Welcome! We're independently English here ;)

Let me guess, run by east Norfolk?
lol. nope, also I'm not active on IOS ANOB. I'm only active on this account
Market Deeping
also should I take Isles of Scilly ANOB out of here? the only new account I'm going to make is Winston Churchill when it becomes available for Suth Seaxe.
Ahh, I see..
You dont have to, but youre more than welcome to register it in the English National Parks Registry so it stays with the region forever.
Edit: Random edit so i dont doublepost, but i just noticed that the nation-name of rutland will be up for takesies n 2 days and 22 hours due to the recent update on nation-names, it would be cool for someone to claim it and reserve it here in England. If no one else takes it, i will i guess.

Yeah, Ill take it. Let me set a reminder

England will always stake a claim for its rightful lands in Breton against the vile cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Although that cheese is rather good :)
Welcome to England!

Yes, we here in England pride ourselves in our minor disdain for the Scots, the french, and the Hungarians lol
Suth Seaxe, East Norfolk
Not sure about Hungarians but they're Jonny foreigner so yep fair play.
Just football things hahaha, 7-1, never forget
Suth Seaxe, East Norfolk
Speaking of football, what is everyone's favorite Premier League Team?
I'm with Manchester City
Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe
I'll be the grumpy gills and say I rather dislike football and the general culture surrounding it. That said (and far from being premier league!), my father and a few of my mates are Gasheads (Bristol Rovers supporters)

Hm, I'm big with Leicester City. Go foxes! (guess who made that leicester city fc nation hehehe)

The Folly has received very interesting archaeological finds already - thank you! - and would be interested in adding more before the opening.
Authoritarian regimes could tell their archaeological teams to find/fabricate stunning artefacts, or else...
The capitalistically oriented might offer rewards to enterprising metal detector brandishing, context destroying rogues...
Science supporting states might increase their excavation budgets at the last minute...
England Archaeology Exhibit
Image of your artefact (image link)
Under which circumstances was it found? (Road construction, ploughing, systematic dig, diving...)
Which period in your nation's (pre)history is it considered to be from?
Prosaic, dull hypothesis about the artefact's origin and use. (It's a darning needle.)
Wildest, most extravagant hypothesis about the artefact's origin, use and momentous significance. (It's a magnetic compass needle for navigating to Atlantis.)
Please send your contribution by telegram, or post it on the RMB.

The Folly I have submitted a archaeological find to you via telegram, hopefully it meets the criteria. Its good to have rp building elements in the region, much appreciated to work on that for us :)
I need to think of a new ebc news article, any suggestions?
The Folly
Something about this lovely weather I reckon!
Suth Seaxe
Perhaps an issue on the wonderful weather like the isle of Westland suggested, or maybe on the various RP projects occurring in the region being done to boost the community aspect of the place.
Edit: One other thing, the 22/23 PL season is coming up, and with that come fantasy PL. Anyone got their team theyd like to share? Ill start: https://ibb.co/k5bSGJd
Suth Seaxe
I've always been terrible at fantasy league. Some of my friends are really really great at it.
Good luck with that team..goals goals goals are the key.
I'd be interested in the combo at Chelsea of Reece James, raheem sterling and Chillwell. Depends if they are too expensive but theres goals there for sure.
Palace striker Edouard maybe a cheap bet for goals.

WHY ISN'T THE FRICKING [URL] WORKING
Rmb NSCodes and dispatch NSCodes work differently, so for instance, the url NSCode doesnt work on the RMB. (:
Ok
No worries. Links on an RMB aren't clickable, but otherwise your URLs work fine.
Looking for perhaps a few more venturous archaeologists with artefacts from prehistory, ancient history, recent history... Let us know about that rusty old horseshoe or shiny glass bead.

The most English card of all has been found. Just purchased to add to my collection :)
Perhaps as proper RP we should aim to get the largest tea collection!
Market Deeping
In that, I (Market Deeping) made a puppet nation to stockpile resources for the region. Serves no real purpose, thought it would be fun though.
Suth Seaxe
Maybe we could do some "direct marketing" to English themed nations and invite them to stay as well, or just to visit and post in the RMB. I found "the teahouse" and invited them.

It could be fun to invite "tourists" for a while

A new EBC news article has dropped. Inspired by our very own The Papal County Of Derbyshire I hope it cheers you up.
All criticism and anything else you'd like to write is welcome.

Suth Seaxe, I notice you now have two tea cards. Whered the other one come from?
Suth Seaxe
Hello,
I thought to check in with you my friends.
Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts, i have re read them a couple of times and i do truely have taken strength from the concern and friendship you have displayed and it does credit to you all.
Thank you.
The papal county of Derbyshire's tea vaults are open and we are willing to ship emergency tea supplies of his holliness special breakfast tea to all nations...... for it is well know here once you taste this tea blend you are closer to Gods own ambrosia than anything else on Earth...plus it goes well with a lovely biscuit.

Hey, I like youre new flag. Excellent second article!! Couldnt help but notice that I was featured in this one as well hahaha. On a more IRL note, Ive tried PG Tips for the first time, still a far cry from Twinnings and Yorkshire.
Say, I know that weve gotten a poll on the best kind of tea, but the results were kind of inconclusive I would say. Do we have an official sponsored brand of tea here?
The Folly, Suth Seaxe
Ladies and gentlemen. And everyone Inbetween. Ive done it! Ive createdThe Tea Vault! ITS A REGION TO STORE OUR TEA IN!!! YAY! If someone with Embassy powers wishes to establish an embassy, just do it, and Ill accept it. Also, the name The keeper of the tea is never going away now

Afternoon Everyone, this morning South Cotswold And Mendip and I ventured out into the sunlight (mad dogs and Englishmen and all that) to Kelston Round Hill which happens to be the capital of his nation. With Bristol to our West and Bath to our East, he took a great southward photo of lush, unspoiled Somerset countryside which is now the banner image for this region.
Unfortunately, the photo had to be squeezed to fit into the banner, which cuts off quite a bit including a farmer hard at work in his tractor :(
Rhanukhan, Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe
I now have 3 tea cards.
I just get in touch with people with multiple copies and ask. Got 2 gifted after I shared our EBC news article with them.
I would just buy them but another nation is buying cheap and flipping them for more money..quite a bidding war going on
Market Deeping, The British Boy
Good work. I'm trying to find a good custom banner..it's a beautiful part of the country, some real lovely locations
Suth Seaxe's museum of Antiquity is open!

Enjoy your stay
Rhanukhan, Market Deeping
Overall, a very impressive museum with a nice curated selection of fine English cards. The descriptions were very informative, and I must say, the collaboration between cultural projects is just wonderful. The cafe bit was a nice addition, and frankly expect the archeaology exhibit to have one as well, hahaha. Overall a nice exhibit, and i must agree with the tour guide on the question on who has the nicest looking card, fighting witches clearly wins. Bravo, South Seaxe!
Edit: fixed nation misspelling
Suth Seaxe
Great trip! I highly enjoyed the museum, and our tour guide was very informative. The cafe was nice, and so was the tea they served there. Perfect evening excursion, would recommend.

Well, the Tea Vault is officially official now. Feel free to send puppets there. We do have embassy status, so you can post there, and people in there can post here.
A splendid museum and that air-con was most welcome. ;) The curator must be praised for such exhaustive efforts, tracking down the exhibits and cataloging them for posterity. Now... I wonder if the tea shop has a slice of Battenberg on the menu?

Thank you for the 3 winners of the review Suth Seaxe's museum of antiquity. Enjoy your prizes
Hopefully there will be more exhibits in the future, and prizes too!
Anyone else who wishes to visit and review please do so, but you'll have to be content to enjoy the teashop as your prize :)
I'm looking forwards to the archaeological exhibits from the Folly soon.
Rhanukhan, Market Deeping, The Keeper Of The Tea
Well, you were clogging up my RMB!

IRL: Visited my first Anglican (English) church! The parish is located in Detroit, MI, and the alter there was absolutely stunning!! 🤩😍

Suth Seaxe
I love it! Very clean and professional. If people want tea, perhaps direct them to the Tea Vault?

Hm, I dont know, Ill think about it.
Ah well. Worth a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looks good mate

A possibly controversial poll coming up soon-ish. Stand by.
The British Boy
Uh oh
Controversial polls are the best polls - nobody came here for quiet, sensible accord! *dispenses sharpened pitchforks and blazing torches in anticipation*

Hmm yes, controversy, we need to spice things up around here!!

A new National Park has been added to the English National Park Registry! The Deeping Wolds is the newest addition to our collection, my nations national park. Remember folks, the registry is open to sign a new park with anytime!
Suth Seaxe, The British Boy
New poll is up!
Market Deeping
Should we hold Jerusalem as the national anthem of our precious England? I think so.
Suth Seaxe
This leads us to the next poll!
Market Deeping, Suth Seaxe
On that note, Ill be changing my nation a bit to better fit the English standard as opposed to the broader British standard (motto, currency, etc.)
Isle Of Westland
The results are in. Five votes to one in favour of a separate national anthem for England.
Stay tuned.
Suth Seaxe, The British Boy, English Resource Stockpile
I was the one vote against... Jerusalem is lovely. It played at my wedding. But its not quite God save the Queen. I feel that England hasnt really anything to prove and doesn't need to identify itself with a "national dress" or a separate anthem. We're not the Scots or Welsh ;)
https://ibb.co/hMbTkFL
Rule Britannia?
New poll is up!
The British Boy
Finally get to watch England win a major final in football! My daughters play football and they said "leave it to the ladies" :D
Hopefully the men's team take inspiration from this.
A temporary banner has been put up to celebrate this event. Feel free to take it down in a week or so but currently Suth Seaxe is celebrating this momentous day
