Region: Lands End
policy is okay. crude is ugly. but they are criminals who work for putin. That is the only unacceptanle part. selling the nation and the gov to Russian mob. But 4 are in the bag, and more are going down. In the end they will bust Donny, but may take till afterhe's out to get him. Good they got Flynn, next and bigger is Manafort. Gates will sing & plead guilty.
we do have much better FP. and soon better immigration. But we got 4 traitors in the bag, and they will all go down, corrupted by the Russian horde.
The improved FP will stay. Donny doesn't write it anyway. He's their spouting Adolf, he's not the brains behind the power,
Alright so I'm very new to the game and am wondering how the voting system in security council works so if someone could help that'd be great
Unike
No matter what happens, I support Torranta for dictator of Lands End.
Torranta
That, my friend, is where you are wrong.
It's not clear, and the one you cite, specifically the CLO election, is the one that is most heavily contested.
Torranta, Clarkentrent
The foreign region of Kaisertum Osterreich, whose people themselves have rejected democracy, opting for traditional leadership of the Habsburg family, do support and endorse Okla-Texas in your upcoming elections.
Unike, Torranta, Okla-Texas, The Cincinnatus Republic
Hello Im Quite new here and Id like to know what a "Father Knows Best" state is?
Thank you so much!
Cernowitz
It is essentially an authoritarian state or dictatorship.
Torranta, South Slavic Unified States
The security council voting system is similar to the General Assemblies, it's the content that differs. First a proposal is made and it must both be deemed legal by delegates from regions and be voted for by 96 (6% of all delegates) delegates in order to go to vote among all WA members. Once there, you can either "Vote For" or "Vote Against" voting to either pass or trash the resolution, respectively. Majority wins.
Its a dictatorship where the dictator is mostly good to the people.
Bluximburg
Why did you attach my quote praising your state of the region address that you gave last night to this reprimand of people talking about politics?
A type of "benevolent" dictator.
It was very late and I was one mobile, so I must have spam-quoted all the posts around the topic of the heated discussion without thinking about it. Your post was not intended to be reprimanded, nor was Mercantanas. Ill go back and edit that.
P.S. Typing out a speech on mobile is sort of annoying. If you ever have a choice between a computer and a phone for typing, keep this in mind.
I stay inactive for a few days and the region catches fire,explodes,implodes,eats a tide pod,shoots itself,and then throws itself into a black hole....and then ripped itself in half and destroyed the universe along with itself. So a normal day on the internet.

Yeah, were having a minor governmental reform deciding how to distribute Tess duties amongst the Board.

Theres only been a total of six 8 TGs sent between the five of us, Clark.
Minor? From what it looked like over the last few days everything went crazy.
If you managed to stay calm and composed the whole way through, it wasnt all that bad.
Actually, youre right. Every time you leave, everything falls apart. Atkemri, you are the glue that holds this region together.
Atkemri
I'm also getting individual telegrams relating to it, not just the group ones.
Oh, well thats to be expected.
Clarkentrent
I'm touched. By the way I'll be inactive for the next month so... I'm kidding. TBH I should be more active on the region.

So I just noticed lands end so far has a majority vote against the the sustainable timber rules. I am for it but with so many endorsements want to be sure this will not hurt economies to much. Let me know your thoughts! If you haven't endorsed me and are looking for more endorsements let me know.
Thanks in advance
-Cappy Facese
Vilkona
Its your Delegate, here to do his job!
The GA Resolution at vote, Promoting Sustainable Timber was created because the environmental regulations previously set by the WA did not apply to non-WA nations, meaning that the WA nations could not compete with the non-WA nations who do not comply with the WAs legislation, therefore giving non-WA nations an advantage, destroying competition, and crippling the timber industries of many WA nations.
The gist of this new resolution is to fix the detriments caused by previous WA regulations by enforcing even more WA regulations, via raising the standards for imported timber, prohibiting WA nations from importing timber from certain nations, and deploying the World Assembly Forest Commision to moniter these imports and to make sure WA nations are harvesting their own timber following the WAs guidelines. The WA is essentially trying to contradict their first regulations by regulating those regulations, AND adding new regulations to regulate the activity of individual nations even more, and taking even more of nations ability to operate on their own just to fix the WAs mistakes. Have I used the word regulate enough?
Lands End believes that the WA should not affect individual nations ability to operate on their own, and this resolution is the exact opposite. If the WA wants to fix their previous legislation, they should repeal it alltogether instead of adding more to it. If they did this instead, WA nations could both operate independently of the WA and compete with foreign timber industries without the WA looking over their shoulders.
For the sake of preventing WA sovereignty and for the sake of preventing a terrible solution to a real problem, I suggest voting AGAINST this resolution.
Nordhpadhan, Vilkona
Thank you for the clarification torranta. Cappy Facese is incredibly environmentally motivated and wants to assure the safety of, not only our Forest's but the world's. I will vote against this resolution in hopes the previous regulation is repealed and a more environmentally and economically resolution is built. Is it possible for lands end to request a repeal of previous regulations and present a new proposal?
Vilkona
Yes. If you wish to take action against this resolution, several steps will likely have to be taken
1. If the current resolution gets passed (which it likely will), you must repeal this one first.
2. After that, the resolution that caused this one must be repealed.
Only then can a replacement proposal be implemented.
Vilkona
Regulations are why I left the WA
Archen Federation, Bonnie Blue Republic, Vilkona
I take a stance of rebellion. I intend to not just liberate myself from the WAs regulations, but also to free other nations from it. However, some regulations are necessary. Most arent, some are.
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, The United Banking Associaton, Bluximburg, Where Your Deadbeat Dad Lives, Radomuerenis, Vilkona
I agree, running from the WA will just make it worse for all of us, if enough of us act, we can shape the WA.
Where Your Deadbeat Dad Lives, Vilkona
Hello!
First of all, please do not double-post. It makes the rmb look sloppy, but you can you use the appropriately placed edit feature to add anything you like to your previous post.
Second of all, a counter proposal would not be the correct way to go. Any proposal that contradicts existing legislation would be deemed illegal by the WA. The existing legislation that your proposal contradicts would have to be repealed first. I believe that Cappy Facese and I will be working on this.
Where Your Deadbeat Dad Lives, Vilkona
I voted against simply as a matter of personal choice over international mandate. The fact that they want non-WA members to comply to the rules doesn't seem right, along with not giving them and WA nations the options that are wanted in an economic society.
Some Random Lands, Bluximburg
It would be cool if a resolution was passed to make countries that aren't in the WA to not be forced to comply with all of the resolutions passed. Sadly, that seems way too far fetched.
I would be out of the WA if it wasn't a requirement for Shareholder.
Clarkentrent
The resolution is actually just regulating which nations WA nations can import timber from, by setting certain standards that must be met before importing them. By doing this, they hope to cause non-WA nations to be forced to comply with those standards if they want to trade with WA nations. While non-WA nations arent required to follow WA rules, its essentially a cruel way of dragging non-WA nations into WA jurisdiction by making it necessary for them to follow the WAs regulations in order to trade with WA nations. They arent legally required to do it, but it is just easier to comply. I cant say Ive seen too many resolutions as power hungry as this one. Anyone who values freedom should vote against this resolution.
They arent required to follow WA legislation.
By the way, what do you guys think about the SC resolution Liberate Westphalia? I dont know much about the r/d community, so I really am uninformed on this topic, so how I vote really does depend on you guys here.
From reading both sides of the issue, I am convinced that Westphalia is a tyranny of its own people. I am convinced these "raids" are actually efforts to liberate the people under Westphalia rule.
Vilkona
I voted for, thinking a region with such history as described by the proposition should be allotted it's own sovereignty again.

Bu the way, elections start at midnight tonight.
Bluximburg, Where Your Deadbeat Dad Lives
Meh. Westphalia's most recent raid, which is spoken of in the current proposal, only happened about abit over a week ago. I voted against after reading some of the former Westphalians pity party. Had their recent lockout been a lot longer than that, perhaps my vote would have been different.

Beautiful Lands End, the elections are here, and I humbly ask you for your vote, one last time. Let's all celebrate the beauty of our region, and elect the fittest to run Lands End.
Let me explain, why The United Banking Association is the fittest to run our Legal Office.
-Since I was young, I've invested money, in businesses that show signs of growing exponentially. Since then, I've gathered knowledge on every issue that matters, in the management of a business, and the legalities required to keep it moving forward.
-As a nation, I've served as VP-A, helping the Board, on the building of Lands End economic system.
-We need someone, in our regions political system, who has been active in politics, since a young age, and has met with prominent politicians from my country.
-We also require someone that has knowledge, on not only legal, but also on micro and macro-economic issues.
What will I do as head of our judicial system?
-I will be surrounded by advice from experienced nations, on issues such as on deciding on how to ammend bylaw proposals and deciding what to do agaisnt upcoming issues.
-I will be encouraging Nations, to express what they feel could be done much better, and then ammend, promote and put into effect those advices.
-I will be strict against those who try to damage our region and our pride, but show solidarity to those nations who seek Lands End, in order to grow.
-Put into effect, proposals, in order that the Chief Legal and Trade Offices, can work together on acts of diplomacy.
Who will I be working with and receiving advice from?
Candidate for COO, Bluximburg, countries such as Modern Israel, and both candidates for CTO,Okla-Texas and Corbas.
I will of course, make use of our strong WA delegate Torranta and our candidate for CEO, Clarkentrent, to accomplish these goals, and make our beautiful region much more prosperous than it already is.
Thank you!
Archen Federation, Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, Okla-Texas, Modern Israel
Okla-Texas has Woody Guthrie and Bob Wills. That's pretty tough to beat.
Here's a campaign song, I'll write it now, here on the ol' rmb.
When there were two for Texas, and just an O for Oklahoma,
We had to go, go and vote all the way to Arizona.
But when we counted up the hanging chads,
We found that we all had been had,
There were more votes than people lived in China!
So we counted them up again,
Do we count for Macron or Le Pen?
Who we count for makes my math a mess of hash;
Now let's count 'em right there fella's,
For the money totin' shillers,
give me the Phyllis Dillers,
but Okla-Texas was my momma's favorite nation....
Take the Baron's Iron Rail,
to Okla-Texas or go to jail,
They are the future wealth of this here whole darn nation!
Go to vote before your vacation,
Don't miss it by tarnation,
But check that box forOkla-Texas, or have a hallucination,
Go Vote for Okla-Texas on the way........!

Good morning everyone, The Collective hopes you are all well.
Voted against both propositions in WA. No one should have the ability to intercede in our trade. Westphalia needs to handle it's own issues, their appeal sees like a whiny request for aid.

Wow, that is some poetry...

Greetings, denizens of Land's End!
In the words of Torranta, I am the Law.
And it is in a bid to retain that position that I speak to you today.
I will not make grandiose promises.
I will, however, remind you all that I have held the office of CLO for nearly five months.
In that time, I have endeavored to do nothing but my job.
It is a job I am quite familiar with.
A job I've been doing for longer than my opponent has even been in the region.
So then:
I will not ask you to vote for me.
I will ask, however, for you to think long and hard before you make that vote.
Thank you for your time.
Chief Legal Officer, Land's End
Archen Federation, Torranta, Bluximburg
I feel like this is a Full Metal Alchemist reference. Or a 1984 reference?

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may to be entitled to financial compensation. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer linked to asbestos exposure. Exposure to asbestos in the Navy, shipyards, mills, heating, construction or the automotive industries may put you at risk. Please dont wait, call 1-800-99 LAW USA today for a free legal consultation and financial information packet. Mesothelioma patients call now! 1-800-99 LAW USA
(lol, yes I know I'm banned. It seems that you guys forgot to ban my main nation, interestingly. Thought I'd just stop in to share my thoughts on mesothelioma, because I saw this RMB post, and, admittedly, I could not resist.)

Can confirm. Cult is real. Currently trying to resist the urge to join.
I already have. I placed a Nation there to join in the fun.
Aslan will return one day!
By the way, I started a cult in high school. We were on a trip, and we saw an upside down outlet outside a hotel room. It was the most inconvenient placement ever, but we started worshipping it. It was cool. We only sacrificed 2 phones to it. (More than 2 humans, though. And 40 dollars)
By the way, remember to vote. And, anyone who would like to run for CEO needs to speak now.
We currently have one candidate:
Would not more than two humans just be three humans?
Also, can I interest you in our Lord and Savior, the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster?

What a nice election
It certainly is. There's been more campaigning here than I think there has been for all of the others combined...
Pretty sure I've been here for all of them.
Seems a little redundant since most are running unopposed.
Only 2 out of 4 in the board elections are running unopposed. That isn't technically better than last election, but as bonnie said, last election there were few campaign telegrams, so voting tended to weigh in favor of those who actually campaigned. Now that most have been campaigning in this election, the winners are less obvious than last election. In the next election we hope to have competition for every office.
This of course, can only be achieved through nations running for offices. I would like to take this moment to remind everyone, anyone in the region can run for any office on the board. Do not feel discouraged, if you wish to run for an office then do so. Perhaps then, we can have an even more exciting election next time.
Hi everyone,
I am running for CRO. For my qualifications, I'm a hard working nation who is on every single day. I am a reliable source for information and am great at anwsering questions and providing leadership. As CRO, I will constantly be recruiting new nations into our region.
Thank you and Vote The Allied States of Gondor for CRO.
Unike, Torranta
On that note, two election cycles ago I actually ran for literally every office available...
And if I hadn't, everyone would have been running unopposed. It's nice to see even this level of participation.
Clarkentrent
Hey, you gotta hedge your bets.
That was fun. To this day, youre the only competition I ever had in any election. You didnt get elected to a single position that entire election if I remember correctly. If I also remember correctly, the votes for CTO and CLO were pretty close in that election. I pulled ahead of you at the very end and there was almost a three-way tie for CLO with the winner being Kiselev.
Wenchdom, Bluximburg
TEACH ME THE HISTORY!!!
I'm going to work on an account of all the events in this region next term. It should be pretty great, since the only recorded history we have is a very sloppy and disorganized record of positions and holders, and a bunch of stats.
Bluximburg
I was one vote behind Kiselev...
Then, when he resigned because IRL things, I was offered the potition.
I was also Ambassador then, right?
Wenchdom
Yep. You were the regions first Ambassador.
Lands End,
The Elections are still going on, and we need a legal leader who will fight for the nations of Lands End, and against those who try to ruin or regional pride! I invite all of you, to join this movement, so that we can extend diplomacy and fight for every single nation in our beautiful region.
Thank you,
The United Banking Association for CLO
The Allied States Of Gondor
An election is hardly a movement. And, who in particular is trying to ruin our regional pride, and on what basis is this claim made?
When I speak about protecting our regional pride, I think about the times when it had been done. Recently, we've had the tragic moment, when our region had one of its most influential members, speak badly about Lands End in other discords.
It's still an unexpected act, and most of us have been shocked, but we need to be strict against any other nations who try to betray us.
By now, everyone should've learned from that mistake, out of a loyal member of our region. If it happened to him, it may happen to any of us.
Thats not even what he did, so Id appreciate if you would stop portraying him in that light. Nothing he did was to betray Lands End and he is more loyal to the Region than almost anyone. He made a mistake completely unrelated to betrayal or regional pride. We already have been strict on people who cause problems in the region. Back during the double-posting infestation, we ejected three nations and almost banned 2, and temporarily banned another. And Mercantana did not hesitate to ban the offending nation. We have no problem with being strict. I know its hard to tell tone in text, but to clear things up, I am angry at you and what you just posted.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Wenchdom
TESDAI, and I are friends, and I've spoken to him since the incident happened.
What I wanted to say, is that if anything similar to that happens, I will be strict, however I will be asking my advisors, to decide on what I should do.
So what I meant to say is that TESDAI is loyal to our region, however if another nation does something similar to that, I will not show solidarity.
If it happened to such an influential and loyal member, it may happen to any of us.
I'm surprised more shareholders never 'purposely' voted you in for a position in that election... just for fun, you had just selflessly 'taken it for the team' to ensure there was some competition :P
I voted for you against one of the 'K' guys, not sure whether it was the one you have mentioned though...
Bonnie Blue Republic
His competition was Kiselev and Keltro. Out of the three, BBR got second place.

SO The Collective made pirates into privateers in my nation. Apparently they were still using cannons and cutlass'! HA! The Collective is top 1% for arms manufacturing. Now the Privateers have cruise missiles and sonar guided torpedoes. MWHAAAHAAA

Is there anyway we can confirm that our ballots were received and counted? Or are we only notified when the ballot isnt counted?
Greetings, we are a protectorate of Archen Federation, hope you all are well today
Archen Federation
When the ballot isnt counted. Yours in particular was counted if thats what you want to hear.
Fanter Kesh
What?
The TESDAI situation had nothing to do with regional pride... that was all handled neatly and cleanly.
He was planning on resigning anyway, this just moved that up a little.
Regional pride has been at about the same level since the AA split up...
TESDAI did not betray us. He made a statement that he shouldn't have, but that in no way constitutes a betrayal.
In fact, he already had resigned.
Just no I didn't really know Tesdai (did I spell that right?) but I could tell he worked hard on this region. He made a mistake and that was all.
The United Banking Associaton
This is why I've said, that TESDAI, who has worked for our region extensively, did a mistake. Regrettably, this is a lesson for every nation of Lands End, and if someone, does the same thing, he should be punished with even more reason.
TESDAI gave everything he could to our region and was banned, for that. If any other nation does it, its no longer a simple mistake, and is instead someone who is trying to sabotage our pride.
To make things clear, TESDAI and I are friends, and I know that he really regrets his decision. That's why it would be shameful to see another nation do the same thing, having known about the saddening TESDAI situation.
I hope, that Torranta, now understands what I have been trying to portray since he beginning.
This is getting way too out of hand, so any further RMB post mentioning the TESDAI situation will be suppressed. What he said wasnt post to be made public in the first place. What is done, is done, there is nothing no one can do about it now.
I do not think he had any intention to betray Lands End, but what he said shouldnt have been said in such a public place, so this decision is absolute.
