Region: Lands End
A space force would just be too much extra unnecessary bureaucracy and would probably have a bunch of funding issues. Just expand the airforce to take on more roles
More than a slap in the face to the Air Force, its a slap in the fact for NASA. I dont understand what a space force can do that NASA and the USAF cant do already... and isnt space demilitarized from a treaty of some description?
Saint Gloria, Legoa
Would a Starkiller Base be prohibited?
I belive so. Not to mention if ASAT missiles are brought back would space force own them? Becuase The USAF has the only fighter (F-15) meant to launch the ASAT or would space force buy Fighters which would confuse the orginasation of the military. The added bueracy and confusion is just not worth it.
as long as the space force only deals with things beyond the Stratosphere, issues of overlapping jurisdiction should be minimal.

Private Space Force? I'm all for it. But heck no I dont want to have to pay for it
Greetings reader!
Betmet, The Cultural Officer here at the Augustin Alliance, is glad to announce the beginning of a new Augustin tradition! The Augustin Alliance Weekly Show! The Weekly Show shall offer various sections that will entertain you for sure! These include a debate between two parties with opposing ideologies. A quick game such as Mafia and Assassins. A contest for the best flag, the best poem or even a short story! The event also ends with a casual poll! If you're interested to participate in this newly-found tradition, he is happy to inform you that the first show is taking place this Sunday ( 1 / July / 2018 )!

There is already overlap between such military units as Delta Force, Navy Seals, Army Special Forces, and the Marine Special Operations Teams. The Space Force will simply overlap with NORAD, Air Force Space Command, and NASA. As usual, a military FUBAR, the right hand will never know what the left hand is doing.
um hi
Buryasia, The American Imperialists
I have yet to understand why we need a Space Force in the first place...
For now it'll probably be used for launching/maintaining satellites our military has, maintaining/building space stations, challenging China and Russia in space, and building Kinetic bombardment weapons.
Saint Gloria
The first two of those NASA can do, or could do easily with the money this "Space Force" would take up. The latter two? Well, the former serves no practical purpose, and the latter, I would think would count as a WMD.
Buryasia
The Kinetic bombardment weapons were specifically defined as a conventional weapon during the Cold War and the definition hasn't changed since, and challenging China and Russia in space could mean countering any possible surveillance and communications technology Russia and China may develop in space, but yeah, I agree that NASA can fill a lot of these roles and the Air Force/Army can fill in any military roles that NASA can't fulfill. I'm not too fond of a Space Force.
Buryasia
Buryasia
Kinetic weapons aren't by themselves a bad thing, I just don't understand why we need another government agency/entity to deal with them.
The American Imperialists
Because this is the 21st Century, a time when people believe bigger more expensive government, with more bureaucracy, solves everything.

In my capacity as building manager, I've posted a link to the rough draft office map here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1053033
Please note that I figured out a program to use to create sharper lines on the final copy. Holler at me, but keep it pro, chicas and bros.
Bonnie Blue Republic
Can someone please endorse me
New Ex Patria
Just endorsed every WA nation in the region. >_>
Unike, Legoa
I've done the same...
We have exactly 50 WA nations here in LE.
This amuses me.
New Ex Patria
That's satisfying.
Whats the deal with the SC resolution? For or against?
I'm voting for. They're a great RP region with a lot of professional RP mentors.
New Ex Patria
Oops...
I guess I was mistaken.
Thanks for catching that
I believe that the Council should neither condemn nor commend regions.
Unike, Sea View
Unfortunately, it does. That's not something that's going to be changed.
It's been this way for a while. Also, hello Land's End!
Unike, Buryasia
That's basically what the security council does.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the SC was created to keep such things from cluttering up the regular assembly.
Happy to have you with us
I understand. I believe that nation-states should have more individual autonomy and the WA should not dictate policy. As for the security council, I think the need for it should be diminished.
Buryasia, Minarchic States Of America
And you're the man for the job.
Congratulations on the delegacy!
For those of you who hadn't noticed, Bluximburg has replaced Clarkentrent as our WA delegate.
Buryasia, Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic
Sorry for not posting this right away but Congrats!
Hello Free-Market-minded people. I'm Shawn, the leader of the Minarchic States of America. Just like the rest of you, we support a Laissez-Faire economy and a large degree of Civil Rights. There are one or two things outlawed for the protection of life and slight morality, however. Anyways, I consider my nation a Republican Minarchy - a minimal government whose decisions are governed by a rule of law. Nations that are liberty and economy minded, hear my cry. Please endorse my nation. It is new to NationStates and it needs a little push to become stronger. I will endorse any nation that is liberty and economy-minded back, so as long as they endorse our nation. Finally, our nation takes a very non-interventionist strategy towards things. We want to stay out of war as much as possible but we are for diplomatic relations. However, our nation will not bend to the laws of any organization: our laws will remain unchanged entirely unless it is an issue that could negatively effect us all. I can't wait for our great nation to become a part of this glorious community.
Sincerely,
Shawn
Unike
I think the World Assembly should not dictate or regulate the decisions of independent nations, and it should be a body that maintains the status-quo of Nation-states. Protecting your sovereignty is my priority and as delegate, I will make it my mission to impede and to vote against every overreaching legislation in the Assembly. The reason why it is important to be a part of the World Assembly is because we cannot allow certain agendas to take complete control of this international body, and we need to stand firm to protect ourselves and others against the intrusion of our national sovereignty. Every vote counts, and your vote matters. If you are not apart of the Assembly, I strongly encourage you to join the Assembly. By being apart of the Assembly, you bolster Lands Ends influence in the Assembly and you make your voice heard on the International stage.
I thank all of you for your consideration. If you do choose to support me, I will ask that you endorse me in order for me to solidify my WA delegate position. I will be sure to return the endorsement.
Sincerely,
BLUX
Unike, Sea View, The Cincinnatus Republic, Legoa, Minarchic States Of America
Bluximburg I wholeheartedly agree. The WA should only be a line of communication and unification. As a non-interventionist nation, I believe my nation should be treated the same in return. Plus, such a powerful organization under the wrong influence could lead to the destruction of a lot of our freedoms.
Bluximburg
Which is why you need a powerful national military to keep them from being able to push you around.
Good luck forming a coalition aganist the majority contributor of armed forces to your efforts...
Ill make a much stronger military, but membership in it wont be compulsory. Im attempting to make my nation a Night-Watchman state of sorts: a national defense, police, and court system. Not a lot else besides all of that, though.
I sent you an application be a shareholder. I could possibly work overtime up to VP-A or VP-R and someday work up to CIO. I think I'll be playing this game for a while.
Feel free to telegram me as you seem pretty enthustiastic about working for our region.
Please send application to the COO.
Sorry, I looked at the shareholder application page and it said to send them to you. I looked on the front of Lands End and Okla-Texas is the current COO. Doing that now.
It has been ten days since I sent my shareholder application to the COO and I have gotten nowhere.
Bluximburg
I'll try to resolve this matter. The current COO has been fairly inactive. Try contacting @clarkentrent
I think we might want to have multiples who receive and approve shareholder applications. What we have now is called a "single point failure." Not ideal when creating sustainable systems.
Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic
Hi, I'm new here, may our region be the mightiest.
Sea View, Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic, Minarchic States Of America
Agreed all senior board members should be allowed to aprove shareholdership. And to ansewer the above question yes...we are the mightiest region IN THE WORLD!!!
Bluximburg, Minarchic States Of America, Republica Nacional Da Conice
Telegrammed you.
I have sent out a telegram to the board members. Hopefully the shareholder issue will be resolved soon.
Isn't the AA mightier than us though?
The AA is a coalition of six regions which LE is a member of.
The problem then would be keeping the Dispatch updated.
I know that, I was trying to make a joke. Guess i'm not funny
Sea View, Buryasia
Hey, i have a question, how do I get to loosen up the gun laws in my nation and have more guns per capita, do I wait for a issue to come up, can I only do that?
PS: I'm new to the game.
Yeah, you gotta wait for issues to pop up, then choose the answer that would loosen gun laws or do whatever your goal is.
Republica Nacional Da Conice
Thanks a lot

Happy very late canda day everyone, Canda is now 152 years old! (no I dont live in Canada 🇨🇦 but I like it.)
It's the 4th of July. Woo
Buryasia, Okla-Texas, The Cincinnatus Republic
Hello all! Since real life has been kind of a kicker for me as of the recent months, I will resign as COO effective immediately. Im sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I think Lands End will fare better with new leadership. - Okla-Texas
The American Imperialists, The Democracy Of Red Star, Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic
I may not have been in the region long, but I think Lands End has known you for quite a while. Sad to see you go. I hope the best for you.
Okla-Texas
Sad to see you go.
Now we need to figure out who's gonna fill out the rest of his term...
I believe precedent for this is that the runner up in the most recent election takes the office.
Clarkentrent, you ran that election; do you know who that may be?
Okla-Texas
Hope you still stay with us in the region until life gets tired of kicking you : ) We see this very often with people who take on offices on the board ... which is why I am enjoying building manager.
Just an update on me - I'm going on vacation Saturday for a little more than a week. Expect some more building plans and a chance to choose your office, probably around July 20.
Okla-Texas
There were no runner ups in that election. Okla ran unopposed.
Sounds like a by-election is needed.
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star
I agree.
Buryasia, Bluximburg
I will speak to the board and confirm the election date.
If you are interested in running for COO, please telegram me.
The American Imperialists, The Democracy Of Red Star
Well, I did plan to run for COO in the main elections, but it looks like that's come early. >.<
Bonnie Blue Republic
I have decided upon advice that the election for COO will take begin tomorrow, July 7. Polls will close on Sunday July 8. If you are interested in the COO position telegram me.
Current announced candidates: New Ex Patria.
I encourage potential candidates to start campaigning. You must be a shareholder to run and to vote. All shareholder request are in the process of being approved.
Sea View, New Catfoundland
Good luck!
Bonnie Blue Republic, Buryasia
Our migration to Land's End has been very successful. The Federation of Cortezica is ready to open up for greater bonds and co-operation with you all!
Unike, Sea View, Buryasia, The Cincinnatus Republic, New Catfoundland
Welcome to the region.
The Democracy Of Red Star, North Grenery
Alrighty then! While I am unopposed at this time, I will nonetheless release a campaign speech setting out my policies and promises.
If elected COO, my first priority will be to restore the government to a fully working, harmonious state. The COO presides over and appoints the region's Senior management, and in doing that, I pledge that I will actively look for able members to fill these roles, and that I will not tolerate those failing to do their duties.
For a little while, the practice of approving shareholders has been lacking, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who had to endure a substantial wait for my application to improve. I pledge that if elected, all shareholder applications will be processed within 24 hours of being received - if for whatever reason this deadline must be postponed in a particular case, the applicant will be notified.
As well as all this, I will ensure that integrating the region into the AA and LE's offsite properties will be regarded as an important standpoint, and I intend to regularly contact the region's individual members to achieve such. World Assembly Development is also included in integration; it's my belief we can substantially increase the WA and endorsement rates in Lands End with enough of a push, a push I believe I can provide.
Thank you.
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, Nosotalio, Buryasia, Bluximburg, Grater Tovakia, Minarchic States Of America, Sachsenreich
Welcome, feel free to ask us about the region or any other questions you have!
Buryasia
Hear, Hear!
For too long the government of this region has been content to rest on our laurels.
I will freely admit to being part of the problem - but I hope that, with the assisstance of New Ex Patria (Should he be elected, of course), LE can be turned once more into a hub of activity and a region we can be proud of.
Unike, Nosotalio, New Ex Patria, The Democracy Of Red Star, Bluximburg, The Cincinnatus Republic, Grater Tovakia
Post self-deleted by The Democracy Of Red Star.
I will be sending out a mass telegram by tonight regarding the election. Please make sure that you are a shareholder before running for office or voting. Thank you.
We no longer have a CEO. After the COO election has ended, we will being process of electing a CEO. The CEO election will be carried out by the COO and board members will vote for the CEO. I officially announce my candidacy for CEO and will begin campaigning after the COO election ends.

Welcome! Do any of the new nations here have any questions? They could be about anything, the forums, raiding/defending, the Augustin Alliance, any question you have about Nation States feel free to ask!
Unike, Sea View
Hey, my old account got deleted because I kind of left it for a couple of years but Im hoping to get into Nation States again!

I really have no idea what to do, I get on the next day after I have completed all the issues becaise that's all I know to do
That's pretty important.
Issues are the foundation of the game, but there's so much more possible.
Sea View
As I said in the discord it is all what you make of it. I would recommend heading into the forums and checking out some of the great roleplays and debates. You can also enlist in the JTF (the Alliance's Military) which you can read more about here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=967591

My country left in group stages, but I'm rooting for Croatia to win the World Cup, it's pretty cool how they have only left group stages twice and went on to the semi finals and to the final match both times.
