Region: Lands End
We need to go back to capitalism or else this region will burn to no end! Don't you understand this is sucking the capitalist energy away and then the commies may come back. *PTSD kicks in*
Isollis
What are you talking about to no end? [I]This is Land's End.[/I] We are constantly in the end.
A van pulls up next to you on the street and a masked vendor opens up a side window. "I don't know about that" says the shady salesman, "The right coun- err man, with the right entrepreneurial spirit can make a nice stack of lire around here". He then steps back to reveal to you an impressive selection of Kiselevian Assault rifles and Infrared missile launchers with scratched off serial numbers. "Now, what're you buying stranger?"
Isollis
"Everything."
Confederation Of Tesdai, Isollis
A pistol cracks three times and both the vendor and driver of the van fall, shot.
A man wearing a pink rag around one shoulder steps forward and begins to unload the van.
He is then shot and the area degenerates into a battle between two street gangs competing for the hardware.
Confederation Of Tesdai
Listen to your people. Change back to capitalism.
Isollis
Buddy, there are 168 nations in Land's End.
Three want capitalism.
But yet "the people" want capitalism.
Does anyone else have problems with this logic?
Confederation Of Tesdai
Am I supposed to have a witty, funny introduction?
I do not
So till this moment in really enjoying the game I hope to have good debates and fun or whatever :)
Any neighbor that's wants afternoon tea?

Hydruis, Xentai, United Alliance Of Alexandria
Tea is good.
Xentai, Confederation Of Tesdai, Isollis
People is any unit of society larger than one. 3 nations, each with millions of citizens want change. That is certainly people. The anarchy thing hasn't even been going on that long and it's already starting to wear out. More nations are soon to come. Many nations joined Land's End because of the capitalism and focus on business, just to have everything crash and burn into some semblance of an anarchy. It's going to get old sometime.
Confederation Of Tesdai, Isollis
True... but it'll disappear in time.
Besides, we really didn't change the regional structure or anything like that.
It's nothing serious... but arguing against it kinda misses the point.
Confederation Of Tesdai
Of course it's nothing serious, and it is kind of fun to see what some of the anarchist thugs people have to say. I'm just putting on the mask of authoritarian scum for now, just to throw some conflict in the mix. Pretty entertaining, as a matter of fact. I've been nuked several times! Fun for the whole family!
Confederation Of Tesdai, Isollis
Understandable. Sorry I got a little snippy...
Confederation Of Tesdai
It'll eventaully end.
Hopefully...

Nonsense. Throws a Molotov at you
Anarchy forever!
Bonnie Blue Republic, Capitalist Piggys
throws 2 Molotov at you
Bonnie Blue Republic
throws 3 molotov at you
Bonnie Blue Republic
No. Molotovs are now officially contraband and will be assassinationing'd, along with anyone attempting to purchase, create, acquire, sell, or use them. Secret Police Glaring Angrily Again.
I wonder what my citizens will say about that with our Recreational™ Nuclear™ Missiles™.
Isollis, Kakoa
Tosses Molotovs at the Secret Police Down with secrets! Down with the pol- Ah hell, down with everything!
Recreational nukes? Now you're talking.

Greetings, everyone.
This was something I saw on the RMB shortly after I joined. I'm not sure who posted it, but I have decided to continue it.
What is it? Well, I went through all the World Census results for Land's End and totaled up the number of time any given nation appeared in first place.
These are the results.
With a whopping 22 first-place positions, Mercantana is the winner.
In second, with 11, we have Metal Cybersnake.
In third, with 6, we have of New Slovakastan.
In forth, with five, we have Archen Federation.
Fifth place, however, is a tie between Isollis and Bonnie Blue Republic, with both having four.
Keep answering those issues, people; maybe someday you'll be on this list.
Isollis, Kakoa
Maybe, yes, probably not.
Bonnie Blue Republic
How do you comply with a wa resolution?
It happens automatically when a resolution is passed.
United Alliance Of Alexandria, Torranta
Not everyone responded to the poll with their main is a WA member... might I ask why?
I would like to note that the current WA proposal would make slapping people an international criminal offence. It's almost as stupid as the last one.
True. But it seems it's going to fail.
Could be a number of reasons. They could currently be raiding/defending, and their WA could be elsewhere.
Some may not fully understand the WA yet, and others absolutely despise the WA and will refuse to have anything to do with it, using it only for game play purposes on a hardly used puppet.
Isollis
Wait, WHAT IF WE DO COMPOR-CESION!!!!!!!!! ANARCHY AND CAPITALISM AT YOU! *Throws pile of burning cash at cashier.* See, it works! xP
Alright, you may all resume your regularly scheduled capitalism, LE has returned to normal with a new flag thanks to the lovely [nation=shortnoflag]Helaw[/nation].
Mercantana, Bonnie Blue Republic, Isollis, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Keltro, Souria El Uzma
Rejoice! For the prophecy has been fulfilled. The Great One restored balance to Land's End! Till all are one.
Isollis
What is with the new flag?
I guess Helaw made a new one?
Mercantana, Isollis
The old flag was a piece of junk I threw together in five minutes with Paint.net in March 2016. This is a definite improvement.
Sometimes LE has a major identity crisis and runs around with its hair on fire for a couple days. Some might complain about the effect on the economy, but I find it does wonders for ticket sales.Capitalist Piggys, Isollis
It's kinda crazy, but it's all part of the charm living here.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I liked the old flag. May you please bring it back.
Isollis
A bunch of the people voting "puppet" in the poll belong to the same guy, and they are not even from here. Not sure what kind of useful information we are getting from that. Sorry, [nation=short]unike[/nation], but we have an actual need for a poll at the moment. (Also, what is your main nation? I noticed you voted "puppet" too.)
In like the new flag. Change is good, and so is this new flag. The old flag had no defining features, really.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Capitalist Piggys
We'll never accept the corrupting influences of the tea drinking foreigner. Also, bulls are dumb, wolves #1, go Kiselev.
Isollis
I think the current flag works the best for our region, but the communist flag looks pretty cool. Did someone here make that?
Bonnie Blue Republic, Capitalist Piggys, Isollis, Torranta
YEAH! CAPITALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unike, Isollis, Sin Aparejar
[nation=short]riko_republic[/nation] is my main nation and the new flag is better.
Guess that explains why you are not on Discord--you are, but under the other name, and you never post.
I'm not really on discord and Unike is the only non-jtf puppet I have that is active.
As a reminder for all recruiting for the competition, there's only five more days to get as many telegrams sent out as possible! Good luck.
Unike
Sorry about how the poll looks. I tried twice and both times it turned out badly. I did not realize it would strip out all the line breaks, and obviously formatting tags do not work.
On a more positive note, added some new shareholders!
Unike, Capitalist Piggys, Isollis
On a side note, at some point someone should make a map for Lands End. (No I can't do it)
I was designing a floor plan, but it sat unfinished due to a loss of internet. It's still on my laptop if I ever had the time to send it to cap.
Bonnie Blue Republic
How did some of you change your country classification to something not on the list in the settings? For example, The Great Anarchist Nation of Confederation of TESDAI.
You may change it once your population hits 500 million.

I noticed a map section in the Information dispatch thing. Is that still a thigh that's going?
I'm on vacation, but when I get back, I can do a map...
Unike, Torranta, Sin Aparejar
Yes, Building Manager is currently held by [nation=shortnoflag]Geico Gecko[/nation], but his internet is currently out thus he cannot work on it. Although he mantains a semi-active presence, it's only when he's at work and when he's at work he can't exactly work on something for NS. He just pops in to pretty much say "Hello I am still alive don't forget about the party."
Unike, Geico Gecko, The United Banking Associaton
Never forget about the party, but just in case the party leaves, the replacement party is on standby
Unike, Xentai, Capitalist Piggys, Keltro, Torranta
If you switch to Geico you save 15% or more on car insurance.

I think he now covers tanks if I'm not mistaken.

I think Mach did it a long long time ago, and Bonnie Blue showed up even though he had just started his nation, might've been inspired to keep doing it.
I don't remember if it was Mach, but someone had posted it right after I joined. It's really not a hard thing to do, just a little time consuming.
Confederation Of Tesdai
It was Mach's/KLI's puppet here that did the WCS like one or two times.

Hello Lands End, WA Delegate [nation=noflag]Confederation of TESDAI[/nation] here to do my job.
I will be opening discussion and providing my input on the current WA Proposal Limitations On Banishment.
I suggesting voting AGAINST
This resolution clearly removes the rights of government to punish those who deserve it. I feel that is enough to make this proposal void of consideration.
Unike, Torranta, Wenchdom
Greetings from Torranta. As the elections approach, you should be considering who you shall vote for. I happen to be running for CTO, otherwise known as Chief Trade Officer. As explained in the Corporate (LE) dispatch, the CTO's job is to construct profitable, healthy relationships and embassies with other regions. I believe myself to be fully capable of carrying out this task. Below are a few reasons why you should vote for me, as well as some of my plans for my term as CTO.
A. By the end of my term, I would like to have at least 2-3 quality, highly profitable embassies (a 30-40% increase). I would also like to see these embassies be as inclusive and communicative with us as I hope we will be to them. After all, what is the point of an embassy if we are not going to use it? My vision is to see Land's End as a socially advanced, friendly region.
B. Quantity of embassies is not necessarily my goal. QUALITY embassies are my goal. To make sure this goal is fulfilled, I will keep you employees informed and represented. I would send out telegrams of my intentions and with the permission I would take polls on the desire of the people for the construction of an embassy in a region. This way, embassies would not be constructed in regions unapproved of by the majority of the people. I should hope you employees actually like the embassy region. To ensure this, it would be your duty to help with the region choosing and send me proposals for regions and to send me feedback on my work and on other regions.
C. As the CTO, more foreign representation and diplomacy may be needed than I myself could provide. For this reason I would like to hire a few ambassadors. They would collaborate with me on my work, and appeal to other nations. We could work on several projects at the same time. And, if fate demands it, they could help out if I am short on time. You would also be able to send feedback to them as well and they could redirect it to me. They would assist me in fulfilling my promises and carrying out my job properly.
D. As my previous lettered points may have suggested, I plan to keep you employees as represented and involved as possible in my diplomatic efforts.
E. Though this may be a loose connection, I attribute my endorsements to my diplomatic efforts in this region. I believe this to be a reflection of The performance I would give as CTO should I be elected. Nearly 50% of the nations I approached obliged me.
F. As the CTO, I would also ensure that embassies are not constructed with controversial regions. Requests from these regions would not be accepted. Regions that are verbally harsh or aggressive may cause dispute, which is undesirable in an embassy. Becoming embassies with, or requesting embassies with highly militarized regions may act as a gateway to raiding. Though this may be an obvious statement, I will avoid regions such as these.
G. Though I am a relatively new nation, my ambitions are high. I would go beyond the expectations and bring Land's End into a more social state, with wide communion with other regions.
"Sloth is waste. Initiative make haste." Don't sloth around, take the initiative to vote for the candidate who gets the job MORE than done. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hello citizens of Land's End!
As you may or may not be aware, elections are being held for regional office starting on August the first.
I am in the running for every position currently up for election (and one that isn't), but I'm not here to ask you to vote for me.
Rather, I would like to ask you simply to vote. Get involved in the region.
Maybe join the Discord, or just start posting on the RMB.
Nationstates is so much more than just answering issues, and Land's End is a good place to get involved.
So just do something. You won't regret it - I know I didn't.
Torranta, Wenchdom
Good morning:
I am new to this region (but not new to NS, I have played for two years with a different, now defunct nation), and I am Novo Euroslavia (also known as the Slavic Union). I'm a somewhat active player (I'll check everyday), and I love capitalism. I look forward to doing business with you guys!
Sincerely,
Mikhail Chernigovski, President of Novo Euroslavia
Unike, Xentai, United Alliance Of Alexandria, Torranta
Are you a planning to be a shareholder?
Novo Euroslavia
Could I run for CLO?
Excellent news: we have just reached forty shareholders! Thank you to all the employees who have bought stock in our great Company.
I am also happy to say that our RMB activity is the highest it has been in 2.5 months. In fact, this last week was the second-liveliest ever in our history, and we are only going upward! This is fantastic to see, and when the IPO happens, I bet the RMB share prices will be through the roof.
You certainly can! All you have to do is start campaigning.Hydruis, Unike, United Alliance Of Alexandria
when does the IPO start?
This is probably due to the firestorm of the anarchist movement.
Unike
So as far as roleplaying goes, does Land's End have its own roleplaying forum? (I've seen a couple from other regions.)
Pretty sure the most active was either the Great Pie War or the great Communist Revolution in support of our totally communist allies The Grey Wardens.
Not that I know of.
Unike
Once again, now that we are on the eve of the election, I would like to remind my fellow member states about my campaign for Corporate Legal Office. I made a promise earlier that I would like to reinforce; that I plan on bringing a new system for lawmakers who are interested in contributing to the regional legislature. Sorry if I'm evasive on details, but I won't have any fellow candidates nicking my ideas. All I can say is that I want to work on bringing bills and discussion of them into the public spotlight. A vote for Kiselev is a vote for progress.
Unike
I'm usually for condemns and commends, because after reading through the explanation of why such-and-such nation or region should be condemned or commended, I feel I understand why they should be condemned or commended.
Unike
Another shareholder added. Welcome to the club, Mitland!
To answer the poll question, I support the good ones and oppose the bad ones. If you are asking if I support/oppose all C&Cs on principle, then no, I do not. That said, most proposals are of abysmal quality, so most of the time I am opposed.
Unike, Capitalist Piggys
I was wondering about making a map for the region, and if I were two, who would want to be on it?
To amend my post, it'd be done in similar fashion to the Cape of Good Hope's map with the numbers and all that for placement, but I think it could be a fun thing for RP purposes in the future
Don't double post.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Do not double post or [nation=shortnoflag]Nosotalio[/nation] will eat all of your banana pudding. Also as I mentioned previously (not that I expected you to know but, I have mentioned it not too long ago) [nation=shortnoflag]Geico Gecko[/nation] is working on the map. And if I'm not mistaken he should be returning in a short while.
Bonnie Blue Republic, United Alliance Of Alexandria
Okay, thanks both of you for correcting me, now I know.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Oops, by the time I seen the double and typed that I hadn't refreshed to see Arkemri's post, my apologies.
United Alliance Of Alexandria
I really can't answer this poll...
Maybe add an option about reading the crimes/accomplishments of whoever we're Condemning/Commending?
That's generally what I do...
Unike
(Says in gruff accent.) It's yer local religious-capitalist country here to announce I is a running for CLO! I believe I am the best fit for this job, because, a. No one else is running. B. I know some stuff about loans, and interest... (Yes, I know it's legal, not Loan... I'm joking.) (xP) Keltro is a self-sufficient nation, a Capitalist Paradise, with an economic rank of all-consuming... C. I shall increase comminucatio on the ,essage board, and telegrams! I will also work with those of other religions. I hope to get more members, because of this. YEAH! VOTE FOR ME! THE KELTRO TICKET! I'M MORE QUALIFIED THAN THE REST, MOSTY BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE RUNNING! BUT DON'T MIND THAT VOTE FOR ME!!!! xP
Unike
Shameless plug, LibreNS and NS++ both have auto refreshing RMBs. Totally recommend them if you are on PC, specifically LibreNS.
If I'm not mistaken, it seems Kiselev is running.
