Region: Lands End
Sorry all for my abscence. I fell ill with the flu and school started up and I've been rather burdened with homework. I should be back on pretty actively. Anyone wanna TLDR me the last 500 RMB posts lol. Also please vote FOR on this proposal to Repeal the Condemnation of the Black Hawks. https://www.nationstates.net/page=sc The Black Hawks worked with the JTF, the army that covered the AA, the former alliance that LE was a part of.

Sorry to hear all that. Also, I'm already voting for the proposal. But only because I think that "condemnations" and "commendations" are rather superficial.
Also, if you could, maybe just read the last 10-15 pages of the RMB, it shouldn't take too long. There were a lot of new people, fun discussions, and interesting questions of the day in the last ~15 pages.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Very interesting conversations.
Araluen Ranger Corps
This RMB is so active that there is no possible way for me to read all 100+ messages posted every day. I feel like the amount of activity in our region is ironically making it harder to be active.
Unike, Araluen Ranger Corps
I'm back folks! Did we already do the question of the day?
Araluen Ranger Corps
Nah, Ill get to it in an hour or so.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
1 endorsement away from 40 endorsements. :)
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Well I'm one more post from making through the whole day without pissing. ;)
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
Please don't double-post.
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Whoops! Sorry m8. I'll be more aware.
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
hi is anyone on
OOC:
anyone
...
I guess not
Xadrya, Yaangze
I'm on m8. :)
Araluen Ranger Corps
I'm on
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I'm always on. Whether or not I check the rmb is in question.

I'm on all day on the weekends and a good part of the day during the week.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I had a bad post. Good thing Xadrya was on to save me. :>
Araluen Ranger Corps
Im on here once a day, but I dont always post on the RMB.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Hello there m8. How do you do? Ready for winter? :)
Araluen Ranger Corps
Hi there, Nilas. Haven't seen you in a bit.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Ive been busy with my real life mostly, but I have been looking at most of the posts on the RMB, and I have been working with Torranta on a regional newspaper. Im going to be much more active in the next few weeks. I will be inactive for a short week to study for exams later in December, but I will be busy writing for the regional newspaper. The first paper should come out sometime in the following week. Im looking forward to it.
Araluen Ranger Corps
I am as well. I'd love to help with it if you'd like that. I certainly understand real life and all.
Araluen Ranger Corps
At the end of the first paper, the current plan is to include an advert to write for the paper. If you want to write about something, just telegram me about it, because more articles and different writers will always help.
Araluen Ranger Corps
For me to be able to get an idea I'd need to see where it is that you'd go with the newspaper, if I could see it I could easily think of something.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps
hello what is happening
... When is the question of the day?
OOC:Anyone on RMB
Atkemri, Yaangze
Question of the Day: What is your favorite recreational activity?
My answer: Writing music.
Nilas, Atkemri, Daesh Valens, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
My answer: Reading books; mostly history books.
Nilas, Atkemri, Daesh Valens, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
My Answer: Reading and Baseball ⚾⚾⚾ (this a short list)
Atkemri
Writing, Reading, Studying Subjects of Interest (Reading), Martial Arts and Boxing, Hiking, Shooting and a wide variety of other things. Oh my, I could list a lot more in a lot more detail. The books I read are usually historical, geographical, political, fantasy, sci-fi, philosophical or psychological explorations of scenarios and historical fiction. The subjects that interest me are linguistics, English, Roman History, Post-Industrial History, Politics, Geography, Biology, Paleontology and Archaeology. I'm certainly no expert on any of these things but I certainly love learning about them. I spend as much of my free-time as I can doing these things.
Atkemri, Daesh Valens, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Hey, thats cheating... You named like 20 things. Leave some for the rest of us!
Anyways, my favorite recreational activity is RPGs. I run a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, so the time I dont spend playing it, I spend planning the next sessions encounters. Its kind of hard work, but I certainly enjoy it.
Atkemri, Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I like to find memes that make me and only me laugh. But browsing the deep web is cool too.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Also, I forgot to add:
-Cooking
-Digital Design
-Family Genealogy
-Model Building
-Biking
-other stuff
Wow! I came up with more, I stretched this as long as I could.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
The question was what was your favorite recreational activity. I sincerely doubt that all those things are tied for favorite :)
Nilas, Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Hmm... I'd most likely say my favorite activities are:
Writing, Reading, Studying Subjects of Interest (Reading).
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I was just teasing, I don't care if it deviates from the question. Besides, it's extra activity, so why complain?
Nilas, Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
D&D is the best
Nilas, Yaangze

are you a scout?
No, I am in fact not. Also, no double posting.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Yes, please refrain from doing so. Makes the rmb look sloppy, so please use the edit feature to add whatever you like to your previous post. Thank you:)
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze

Nilas, Torranta, Xadrya, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Grand Liberta
Why thank you. We appreciate it.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
We did it!
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
Halelujah!
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
You write music? Anyway I like gaming.
Nilas, Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
You're also in the bottom quarter of the world for hippie garbage like: Weather, Lifespan, Compliance, Compassion, Inclusiveness, Cheerfulness, Environmental Beauty, Income Equality, Primitiveness, Taxation, and Welfare. Again, I approve.
Nilas, Atkemri, Torranta, The American Imperialists, Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
That's our real accomplishment.
Nilas, The American Imperialists, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze

Good night Lands End! Hope you all have a nice night/day/whatever.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Thank you!
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
Araluen Ranger Corps is top 0.2% in world for fishing and top 0.5% in region
Xadrya
Indeed I do.
Xadrya, Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
I am really happy to see the region being so active! As CTO, I am trying my best to keep up. Please don't crucify me if I don't respond to everything. :)
Torranta, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
you are here by crucified by order of the court voted by majority for not responding to everything
Modern Israel
On another note, my tax rate has gotten out of control.
Koriter, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I tax people based off how little sugar they have in their blood. Diabetic people have a hard time getting by in my country as a result.
Nilas, Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
In our country we tax based on wealth. Those in the top 10% don't have to pay taxes and the lower on the income scale you go the higher the taxes. Also we publicly execute people for being unemployed.
Nilas, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
All people are unemployed at some point in their life.
Nilas, Clarkentrent, Araluen Ranger Corps
Attempted Suicide is punishable by public hanging or flogging
Nilas, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Grand Liberta
I tried steering my nation to the center and focussing more on the environment, health, etc, but that resulted in increased taxes. Looks like the next election would result in losses in house seats from the more liberal parties (view my factbook to understand Bluximburg's backstory). The people of Bluximburg are not happy with taxes being above 30%.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
30 is ROUGH coming from a country with higher income tax than that... plus sales and provincial taxes.... if you havn't noticed, my nations tax burden is very very minimal. I could only dream to live in grand liberta irl (minus the crime.. and sharks) :^)
Clarkentrent, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I really admire the detail and time put into your Factbooks.
Nilas, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
Forget reading all the posts I missed over the last few days, can barely keep up with whats happened since dinner lol. Activity Explosion! I love it!
Mine was negative at one point...
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
Ah, but I rather pay a little more taxes to have low crime and safety. I think the key is balance.
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Grand Liberta
Would it be acceptable for me to quote this post in our upcoming regional newspaper? I would love to make an article about this achievement.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
I just saw the new poll, and I'm curious. Why isn't Judaism and option? Most people (not all people) who are on nation states are American (ya know, because it's an English-only American-run website) and there are more Jews in America than Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus; yet those are all options. I'm just wondering.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Most likely the fact is that Unike didn't think about it.
Clarkentrent, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Atheism is not a religion. But if it were a religion then baldness is also a hair color.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Allied States Of Vernun
Hello! It is another glorious day in Lands End!
Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps
In that case, translucent is a color! Everything you think you know is a lie!
Araluen Ranger Corps
Atheism is the lack of a religion, so it would count on a poll like this.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps
Hello.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Hello peopls
and hi Yaangze
Modern Israel, Yaangze, Grand Liberta
Grand Liberta is looking to expand its commitment and influence within the region. I would urge anyone who hasn't already to endorse our nation. We will promptly return the curtesy.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Even though my tax rate is at 31%, my average income is about 100k. That means after taxes, people still earn around 70k, and they get public healthcare, public education, a good environment, and adequate law enforcement.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Yeah, I'm Jewish too; which means that there are already 2 people who would have selected that option (more than the number of people who have selected Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism) And I doubt that Modern Israel and I are the only Jews in lands end. I wonder how many of the ten people who selected "other", are Jews (most people who selected "other" probably just didn't want to answer, but a lot where probably from religions not on the poll).
Seriously? How could Unike forget about the second largest religion in America? (if you don't count atheism) It's just really weird for already reasons already pointed out (by myself and Modern Israel) that someone "didn't think about" or deliberately excluded Judaism (the latter case would be far more disturbing).
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
My tax rate is 7,1% and the average income is 160,031 Glories. So after taxes my people have 148,668.779 Glories on average. Almost 3 times the American average.
Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
But do you have clean air? :P
Saint Gloria, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Question of the Day: What device are you answering this on?
My answer: I'm typing this on a MacBook Air, but I usually use my phone for NS.
Nilas, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Who needs air when you're rolling in the dosh :^)

My phone at he moment. If I'm not on my phone I'm probably on my laptop. I run linux mint in a virtual machine and use that at my main OS a lot of the time.
Please do not double post. It makes the rmb look sloppy. There is an appropriately placed edit feature to prevent this.

The life of a censer is a thankless one.
Torranta, Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
Strangely, I play Nationstates on an iPad, but I normally do everything on the PC I built.
Araluen Ranger Corps
My computer
Araluen Ranger Corps
Its a tough job, but someones gotta do it.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Grand Liberta
I'm on my school issued chromebook but usually I'm on my hp windows 10 touch screen
Yaangze
I use either my phone or my laptop. Usually my phone for checking on things and my computer on long drawn out projects or telegrams.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Samsung Chromebook. It's so smooth. So cutting edge. *gropes chromebook*
Xadrya, Araluen Ranger Corps
How is everyone doing today?
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Grand Liberta
Pretty solid (maybe even plasmatic)
Koriter, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Can polls be edited? Because at this point, that would be the most appropriate course of action.
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Liberum Imperium, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
No, you can only delete them.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Fine and dandy sir. It is chilly in my house though. *shivers*
Araluen Ranger Corps
Unfortunate, because it's a bit offensive that we aren't on the poll..
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Gonna go ride my scooter boys. Have fun!
Saint Gloria, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
I made a remake of the poll. I used the maximum amount of options possible, so if you would have chose "other" please say so on the rmb.
