Region: Lands End
The silence has been broken!

Buryasia
Okay so basically what I've decided is that if the forum goes more than a day without viable critique or suggestions then I'm going to submit it. Just letting you guys know.
Buryasia
Can I submit it? I was the original drafter for this thing. I am not trying to steal all of your guys glory, and I appreciate you all a lot. I just feel like since I was the originator I probably should submit it. That way if it tanks, I can take the blame.
Yeah sure, I'll TG you when it's ready to submit, just make sure that it's properly formatted and that you delete the part at the top that says... actually I would rather that I submit it because I was the one that posted it to the forums and I want everyone to know that it's the same one that was in the forums, also I'm a little scared that they might expel you from the WA because they might think that you plagiarized it.
Alright. Just make sure all the proper credit goes where it needs to. Blux was quite helpful through TG but he has requested to be mentioned as a co sponsor.
Co sponsor? We already have three co authors listed, any more and it's illegal.
True. Maybe we should honor him in another way.
I'll put it in the forums before I submit.
Its fine. Not necessary to mention me.
Alright
Dude, you helped garner support from the delegates. That means a lot in my book.
EDIT: People are flipping out on the repeal forum. :3

New flag The Federation Of Spokane? I'm a fan.
Buryasia
Yeah, but our old one is still in the custom banners section.
Atkemri
We just hit 150!!!! Pops Champagne
Edit: Just looked and we are 5 nations away from becoming the largest region in the Augustin Alliance!

If we truly believe, we can get there. If we truly try, we can get there. With the power of capitalism and a free market we can do anything.

Buryasia
CONGRATULATIONS!

"Most world assembly endorsements 20th" We were like 11th for a while, this saddens me.
Greetings.
Buryasia
Yes, we need to start another push to increase our endorsements. Be sure to endorse everyone in the region.
Buryasia
Hello! Any questions?
I have most of everybody endorsing me.
Edit: NPOs declared war on the black Hawks. Stuff is about to hit the fan.
Oh
Hi how do i play?
like can you have wars or anything like that?
Hi, welcome to Lands End. I would recommend that you read some of this dispatch. It is kinda long so you don't have to read all of it, but it's a good way to start. If you want to know more about how this region functions then you go to the top and click the linked dispatch called "Information Center [LE]", this will give you some tips about both the game and this region itself.
Post by Kurczak Mielony suppressed by Bluximburg.
Oh, nevermind, you relocated. : (
Hai
To the superior region obviously. Like GT said we're on the rise to being the most populated region in the AA.
Its more of a political simulation rather than a war game. However, there are ways to invade, raid, and capture regions.
Peacockastan
So CK just bumped up to 160 nations, let's get the presses rolling we want our title back.
The Cincinnatus Republic, Tri-Galleon Yudobya, Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia
Frick yeah
Alright, I submitted the repeal to the WA, if it's illegal, it's illegal and back to the drawing board I go. If it's legal, it's legal and mission accomplished.
Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia
Heck Yeah!!!
Bluximburg Approve it
Nordhpadhan, Bluximburg, Legoa, Free Southern Republics, Soundick Blonertres
Make sure to tell us when its deemed legal or illegal!
Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia, Soundick Blonertres
Done
I am disappointed I cannot vote in your poll.
All I can say is this, the streets are crawling with Romans.
Legoa
I am working on rallying support for the proposal. So far 7 delegates have been added since yesterday. We need 60+ more.
Most delegates won't even approve it unless it's deemed legal by the GenSecs and they're taking their time with doing that, that's for sure.
I have started a campaign, if this is legal and reaches Quorum I expect it to pass. Most people see "repeal" and just vote for.
Legoa, Peacockastan
I have telegrammed the current GenSecs and asked for their approval.
Peacockastan
Yeah if it reaches General Assembly for vote I am confident that it will pass, the only part I am worried about is the Delegate approvals and the GenSec status.
Edit: Alright it was deemed legal, I'm starting to get excited.
Buryasia, Bluximburg
Its LEGAL!
Buryasia, Bluximburg, Legoa, Cyanation, Peacockastan
I finally changed my flag after one year of procrastinating.
Buryasia, The Cincinnatus Republic, Legoa
Looks great!
Also, it's legal!!!
Buryasia, Bluximburg, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia
Wow, I can't wait to look at your flag and then say to myself "who is that?" But really it does look pretty good.
Bluximburg
Nice flag pal
Bluximburg
Decided I'd get a new one as well.
Bluximburg, South-Central Rhodesia
How does one make a flag? I had some cool ideas, but I dont actually know how to make one.
I used MSPaint lol. Just use any photo editor.
I used Paint.NET for mine. It's my favorite photo editor
I would really like to emphasize what Blux said in the telegram that he sent out. Join the WA. There really isn't a reason for you not to. It adds so much to this game for one, second of all the more endorsements that Blux has, the more votes that he has in the WA, and it will raise our overall influence. Joining the WA is one of the best things to do in this game to both have fun and improve this region.
Buryasia, Bluximburg, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia
For any new players though, do NOT join the WA with more than one account! Otherwise you may be banned!
Legoa
Pursuant to Blux's telegram, I've endorsed every Land's End shareholder who is a WA member
Buryasia, Bluximburg
Using what list? If you're using the shareholder list at the top of the region page... That's severely outdated as far as I'm aware. Just make sure you endorse Blux and as many nation's with WA status as you can find. I myself have endorsed every single WA nation in this region and I recommend you all do the same.
So let's talk about this new SC resolution . . . I'm leaning towards for, since they've claimed in the reasoning that Macedon was involved and influenced other regions in passwording which to my knowledge is something not apart of the game mechanics that seems condemnable to me. For those of you who voted against, can you express your perspectives?
I don't know enough about Macedon to vote for his condemnation. I dislike many of the sc resolutions because it only provides one side of the story, as such, I usually oppose these resolutions unless expressly advised otherwise.
The Cincinnatus Republic
Can i ask how often everyone gets an 'International incident' as one of their issues.....? I just had my first...........
The Federation Of Spokane
My taxation rate just went up after totally ending VAT taxes. What on earth?
The tax that is on the front of your country's homepage is the income tax rate and generally when you end one kind of tax, the income tax goes up in order to compensate for it.
Post self-deleted by Free Southern Republics.
I followed the link for all of the nations in Land's end (https://www.nationstates.net/region=lands_end/page=list_nations)
I voted "against" because Macedon has already been condemned in the SC
Not very often.
I am a shareholder and you withdrew your endorsement
Ooooh yeah. Totally forgot that lol.
Can I have a list of W.A. delegates?
Not sure if there is an actual list.
Fixed; I was just clicking the endorse/unendorsed button almost automatically and didn't notice I'd already endorsed you
I just noticed that Spokane's official title is "The Federation of The Federation of Spokane."
Free Southern Republics
Game error. And now of course I cant change it. :( EDIT: EVERYONE TG A WA DELEGATE WHO HAS NOT APPROVED THE DONT KILL THE POOR REPEAL! WE NEED 38 MORE SIGNATURES!
Bluximburg, South-Central Rhodesia
It looks like the proposal will not pass due to lack of delegate support. We got 3/5ths of the needed support. I am going to work on another repeal next week when I have the time. Well done to Spokane and Peacockastan for the efforts.
Atkemri, Buryasia, Legoa, Peacockastan
Dang that sucks. Hopefully next time you send something it passes.
So how are you guys doing today? It's been awhile since I've been on the RMB, but for those of you that have been here for awhile you should remember me.
Buryasia
Whew, that took a while to endorse everyone
Buryasia, Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic, South-Central Rhodesia
Hello, stranger. Just watching my football. (The kind you play with feet.)
Atkemri
Very good. Now we have moved up to 16th in the world. It makes a difference people!
Buryasia, The Cincinnatus Republic, South-Central Rhodesia
Speaking of football...
Go Army! Beat Navy!
The Cincinnatus Republic, Legoa, Free Southern Republics
Retweet
They did.
Legoa
Army sucks. Go Airforce!
The Cincinnatus Republic, South-Central Rhodesia, Tradetown
Army and Airforce can agree... navy sucks! (At football)
Legoa
Heck yeah!
Legoa
It's a shame on the Don't Kill the Poor repeal. The argument seemed pretty straight forward to me but received some pretty stiff criticism early on on the GA forum which in my opinion was the main source of our lost momentum. The issue is emotionally charged (by design, given the title), and people focused on what they wanted the bill to do and not what the text of the bill actually allows. We'll need new arguments for this next repeal and a more coordinated strategy for arguing for it

Everyone else stinks at football. Go Merchant Marines!
Heck no
Saint Gloria, Legoa
Keeping taxes below 35% while maintaining a: strong defense, healthy population, education, clean environment, civil rights, political freedoms, strong economy, and protectionist tariffs is certainly an ordeal; and I am proud to say I am edging closer to my ideal state. Still need to fix my income inequality issue though. Most nations tend to be lopsided. Balance is key.
Buryasia, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia
I'm never happy with mine. Economy is strong but I want it stronger. Taxes are kinda low but I want them lower. Civil rights took a dip recently from one issue or another. And honestly I feel like my incomes are too equal right now. Why should I work so hard if I'm only going to get 5x more than the next guy or gal?
Bluximburg
Income equality is not a bad thing in theory. However, a meritocratic society mandates separation and inequality, as such, it is a form of social darwinism. The strongest and smartest become the richest (in theory). Also, in theory, a meritocracy is supposed to be a double-edged sword. If the rich looses his merits, he falls, and if the poor becomes smarter/stronger, he rises. However, this usually does not happen because wealth tends to stay within the oligarchy.
Buryasia, Free Southern Republics
I try to keep mine below 10%, but recently it has been somewhat difficult.
Buryasia, Bluximburg
Blux is secretly woke /s
I'm building a dystopia of sorts with mine, so I don't mind the income inequality. I'm trying to raise life expectancy though by a lot, and civil rights too
Buryasia, Bluximburg
Make sure the people don't have the money so they live in misery... but have the healthcare to make them live forever.
Edit: I am not a terrible person... I swear

And now your population is even, you're welcome
Greetings fellow national leaders!
I the leader of Wajuti have joined this region to focus on industry. My goal is to dominate the only industry that truly matters, Human Resources, or chattel slavery.
If you need low cost cotton or sugar or metals, you can always import from Wajuti. Also if you want females for your harems we have your supply.
You may also be interested in our thriving futures market that deals in slave-based futures.

I'm always interested in slave-based futures. Are your slaves healthy?

My country produces much cotton, but no sugar.... and i do like sugar :)
