Region: Lands End
I play oboe, I HAVE a flute and trombone but I only play by ear with trombone and haven't played flute regularly since sixth grade, the year I started band. Obviously video games and reading books/watching documentaries on history. Basketball, baseball, sports.

My hobby is reading books, specifically political philosophy types, and playing video games.

I enjoy reading, writing and designing in my free-time, I simply love to create something of my own. I've also developed something of an interest in paid volunteer work, don't mind the contradictory name. No good work around here, or paid work at least.

I finally have a thriving economy!

Lands End has been invited by Dawn to participate in an inter-regional writing competition. It starts right after Yarn-Fest is concluded. For more information, see this dispatch. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=949624

The internet and gaming are my hobbies.
Reading/betaing fanfic, NS, even just reading Wikipedia.
I've got 165 hours in Payday 2 at the moment; that number is only going up.
I also play piano and tuba; I have a nice guitar but haven't gotten around to learning how to play it. Want to, though.

I just stumbled upon some subliminal message madness and I feel mentally violated. It was called subliminal Warlock and I just don't know what I saw and heard there. I don't believe in it,but my head feels weird. Check it out at your own risk.
I abolished the inheritance tax in my country and apparently my freedom from taxation went down

Welcome to our region!
hello
Hey hey hey. Wonder who this is?
Yaangze
hows life treating you all
Well, I'm a country who's been in this region for a few months. I saw that you'd joined recently, so I welcomed you. If you have any questions about the region, definitely ask them here, and I'm sure someone will know the answer :) and again, Welcome!
Yaangze
I believe we need to have a discussion here.
Specifically, the mention in our regional description that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
I believe that this statement is correct.
Would anyone care to argue that?
Welcome to Land Ends. (That intro costs $99.99)

okay brother, I will take your advice

My local homeless shelter gives out free lunches.
Killing Is My Business, Modern Israel, Asleep Comrade Of Discord
Free to the people eating it, maybe. But where does the lunch come from?
Killing Is My Business, Bluximburg, Polskian Eastern Europa, Asleep Comrade Of Discord
1. I've been BAMBOOZLED xD
2. I'd argue that the lunch wasn't free. The homeless people paid by making the homeless shelter volunteers feel good about themselves. Which I think, (material or not) was an exchange of goods.
Atkemri, The Cincinnatus Republic, Polskian Eastern Europa, Asleep Comrade Of Discord
Well, since it is a church homeless shelter, they probably looked up at the sky and asked for fish and bread and it just started raining down.
Well, in that case, you can get all the material goods you need from dumpster diving, which isn't really an exchange of anything. Not goods, not services, not even good feels. But you still get your free lunch, eh?
Atkemri, Asleep Comrade Of Discord
Make sure to eat your candy kids!
However, if you're dumpster diving for food, for example, you are spending your energy, time, and depending on the person, your dignity. Plus, you are taking the risk that you will get a disease from the dumpster food, so if you do get a disease then you also spent/sacrificed your health, at least temporarily. Truly, nothing is free, not really. Somewhere, some when, someone had to 'spend' something for it.

If that works, I'm gonna start begging for a GTX 1080... You think it'll work?
The Cincinnatus Republic
Question of the Day: If you could be an inanimate object, what would it be? Why? (You may provide several answers).
My answer:
1. A blanket so I could envelop myself in myself countless times providing the highest level of comfort, and since I am inanimate, my body heat wouldnt make myself too hot.
2. An alarm clock, so I could inflict pain unceasing to all who lay eyes on me.
3. Something shiny. Think of all the attention. Humans reduced to their base instinct to draw their eyes near bright and distinct objects, unable to resist, BOW TO ME HUMANS!
4. A beanbag. I dont even have to explain this one.
5. An English Teacher. Theyre as inanimate as they get. No one is more lifeless than an English Teacher. I would be the first English teacher to become animate.
Tulov, Greater Jes New Islands, Modern Israel, Polskian Eastern Europa
My 7th grade english teacher would beg to differ... Confederation Of Tesdai can vouch for me here.

I would be a rock, like this rock

that would be so cool
Araluen Ranger Corps
Pretty sure Dwayne Johnson is not an inanimate object...
Araluen Ranger Corps
My answer:
1. A gun. at least then I'd be useful.
2. A Fountain. I've always wanted people to toss coins at me!
3. A telemarketer. English teachers pale in comparison of lifelessness.

isnt he a rock?

Am I the only one that thinks these "Commend the *Insert random region name here*" passages in the WA are just plain stupid?

Atkemri, Araluen Ranger Corps
For the most part they are, but that's literally all the WA Security Council can do.
Saint Gloria, Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
I don't deny that, but there are many who simply don't have to work for what they have. Certainly it is true that there is a source of labor or exchange at some point.
I think there is an 86.342% chance of success.
I can't say what I would be. Let's just say it is.... censored. I laughed at the English teacher thing by the way.
Torranta, Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
I'm not too keen about them either. This is a GAME after all, and commendations and condemnations aren't as fun to vote on as policy decisions, which require at least some critical thinking.
Saint Gloria, Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
Hi!
Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
Citizens of Land's End:
At the time of writing this, we have 198 member nations. That's good.
But only 54 of them are Shareholders. That is not so good.
For those of you who are unaware of what a Shareholder is, I'll put a link to the full explanatory dispatch below-
But here's a quick rundown.
Shareholders are people who are eligible to participate in our government.
They're the ones that get to vote. They can hold office.
They can propose bylaws to the CLO.
To put it bluntly, Shareholder status is a good thing.
So, to those 144 of you who aren't shareholders-think about it.
It's nothing but a good thing.
The Dispatch:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=874596#shareholders
Clarkentrent, Bluximburg, Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
Yes, it'd be nice to see a growth in shareholder count. It is usually the shareholders who participate and contribute.
Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
It's more like Shareholder is required to participate properly...
Araluen Ranger Corps
I'm probably a Shareholder idk for sure

We have had a pretty great increase in Shareholders recently, though. There used to be 42.

Bonnie Blue Republic, Neon Alliance, Araluen Ranger Corps
Tennis team, nice.
I would be in debate club if my school had one...
I also have a problem and a request.
Just a few minutes ago, one of my cousins resigned BBR from the World Assembly (my dumbness for staying logged in).
While I've rejoined, this wiped all of my endorsements.
So I would ask you all to endorse me once more.
I will endoswap with anyone.
Normally I wouldn't ask this... but normally I have more than 0 endorsements.
Wenchdom, The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps, Polskian Eastern Europa
Everyone endorse me, as well. There is a special button.. very hard to find, but it is there, where you can endorse nations that are not in the WA. Encourage you all to spend as much of your time looking for it as possible.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Is it the report button?
The Democracy Of Red Star, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Hehe, yes. If you click the right buttons then it will endorse me. Try it. *wink*

Question of the Day: What new things have you tried lately?
My answer: Im learning to play Steel Drum and getting involved playing piano for a jazz band. Im also considering learning languages as a hobby.
I have tried doing censored, and it was quite an experience. I've been living with it my whole life and to be able to finally fulfill the urge is satisfying.
Yaangze
What is censored?
Yaangze
Can not share on RMB, sadly.
Yaangze
Why don't you try spelling it differently?
Ex: E-a_t_i-n_g
Yaangze
If you cant share on rmb then why even reference to it, bro?
Killing Is My Business, Bluximburg, Yaangze
Well, I referenced it because you asked the question. I was answering the question honestly. I can't leave a question unanswered. Or at least it is not within my nature to do so. I apologize if you got offended by my reference to the unknown..
Yaangze
Darkness thrives on the unknown. I am a creature of the light! I shall descent from the parapets of heavens fortress and rid the land of spiders. Im kidding, I dont actually care.
Koriter, Yaangze
I just wanna say sorry for not checking back as much anymore. I'm kinda occupied in my other regions now, but LE will always hold a place in my heart. You guys are amazing.

Lol ok, search it up. It has meaning.
Araluen Ranger Corps
I am aware of its meaning. I am questioning the use of it.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Just don't bother. It's the internet.
Questioning such things is generally more trouble than it's worth.
Unike, Neon Alliance, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Why question anything? It all makes sense, it doesn't matter what it is.. it makes sense.

Hello everyone! I'm here to announce that the Board and CEO elections are coming up less than a month away. You may announce at any time for the position you want. The CEO elections will be held a week after the Board elections.
If you wish to know more, here is a link to the corporate dispatch: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=874596
Clarkentrent, Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
Even though Bonnie Blue Republic has recently made a post about shareholders, with the elections coming up I want to once again bring attention to this. We actually have 49 shareholders right now, as 5 of them who are officially registered aren't even nations anymore. Although I have told new nations that announce themselves on the RMB about shareholder status and many others have been diligent in reminding people about becoming a shareholder, we have about 25% of the region registered as shareholders currently, which is definitely better than what it once was.
Nevertheless, as mentioned above, the Board elections are coming up shortly, and if you are registered as a shareholder you can vote on who will be elected into these offices and, consequentially, will help to smoothly run the region until the next election. All you need to know about how to become a shareholder is listed here. Just scroll down to the section labeled "Shareholder Status" and there is all the info you will need if you wish to apply to become a shareholder, which I encourage you do.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
I would like to run for Founder of Lands End. I'm sure Mercantana would be okay with that, eh?
Unike, The Democracy Of Red Star, Clarkentrent, Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
Good luck with that ;)
The Democracy Of Red Star, Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
Good luck to everyone who plans on running in the elections.
Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
Some Random Lands have officially become an anarchy. And of course, crime has to grow heavily, and the economy goes down.
I'm fairly new to Lands End, but I am considering running for Vice President of Public Relations. I'm just considering it.
Araluen Ranger Corps
VP-PR isn't an elected office, it's appointed by the COO, who right now is Torranta, and don't let being new stop you if you do want to run for one of the elected offices on the board, I think I was apart of LE for about as long as you have been when I ran for CRO.

Hello all. Today is a day I've been putting off for a while. I'm announcing my resignation as WA Delegate at the end of the eleciton cycle. I will conduct elections at the end of the month, then I will be resigning. It's been a fun run, I've loved seeing Lands End grow and being there along the way. I'm sad to be leaving my role as Delegate but I feel that I am no longer able to fit the role as well as someone else could. I will still be around, and I will still be running the dispatches.
Thank you all.

don't leave.
Atkemri, Some Random Lands
Hi
Atkemri
about time
You've done a pretty good job as WA Delegate in LE, and despite me having some trouble with you back in the day, I'm sad to see you leaving the position.
Unike, Confederation Of Tesdai, Atkemri, Some Random Lands, The Cincinnatus Republic
Sad to see you go, but I can't say I'm surprised.
I only hope whoever replaces you manages to do as well as you did.
Confederation Of Tesdai, Atkemri, Clarkentrent, Some Random Lands, Koriter, The Cincinnatus Republic
Sad to see you leave the board. Thank you for your dedication to the region!
Confederation Of Tesdai, Atkemri, Clarkentrent, Some Random Lands, Koriter, The Cincinnatus Republic
Hello
Unike, Atkemri, Clarkentrent, The Cincinnatus Republic
Welcome to the region! If you have any questions just check out the Information Center. Any questions not answered there can be answered here on the RMB by one of our members. It will also tell you how to apply to be a shareholder, which I greatly recommend since it's remarkably easy and gives you the ability to vote in elections, and we happen to be having another election in less than a month.
By the way, Yarn-Fest ended last night. I'll grind out a final scores dispatch as fast as I can.
How do I get better at this game?
What am I supposed to do to get more people and money?
Population comes with time. At first, you gain only a million at a time, but as time progresses you will work your way up to about 5,000,000 a day (or more). The longer you are active, the more population you have. Economic wealth is gained through answering issues in a way that creates the perfect environment for a great economy. The more issues you answer that encourage a good economy the more money your nation will have.
