Welcome

The rising corporate state of Neo-Tacoma is proud to arrive here in Lands End. We hope to see favorable trade with you all in the near future!

Seems like a new rule has been established through WA. Where can I find the difference? Does it change something with my nation? :( sorry for a dumb question

World Assembly laws, as far as I know, don't affect any nations, but rather just allow for RP and enjoyable voting.

Just finished endorsing everyone available. I started it weeks ago but I was way too lazy :9

So, question: is there a time-period lock on this region? I know it's a dumb question, but I really am hoping to have Neo-Tacoma be a really high-tech nation, like out of a lot of cyberpunk stuff. If that makes any sense.

We don't really care.

You can make your nation whatever you want.

Yet another question: where would I go to RP?

Sory for my short leave of absence. I've been very busy with IRL thing (have had school and work everyday this past week). I'm going to try to be more active going forward. My first thing I've done back is update the History and Registry dispatches. And to replace Kiselev, the current BoD have agreed to appoint runner up Bonnie Blue Republic to the position of CLO.

Hello, we're a new nation here, and we'd love to be a part of this region, and get the World Assembly to Keep Their Bloody Nose Out of Our Business!

Hi, Arising is a new country to Nation States and Lands End. We hope to be peaceful neighbors and to kill all communist. Looking forward to working with my fellow businessmen.

Forums are a lot like their predecessor in ancient Rome. You have different areas to talk to people about a set topic. But unlike the Roman Forum, some of the NationState forums are roleplay-based, some are not. Basically, they just serve as a talking ground to interact with people.

Brexit. You see, I'm an American. So I know functionally nothing about Brexit.

If someone who actually knows about it could explain it, that'd be nice...

Brexit is and was immensely harmful to the British and international economy. It also was another piece to fall in the conservative domino effect that occurred after Donald Trump was elected. It further divided England and Europe as a whole, with the downsides greatly outweighing the benefits. But I'm an American too, so you shouldn't just take my word for it. Take the 15 minutes to watch the word of a British guy who came to America on a work visa and became a famous comedian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAgKHSNqxa8

I'd like to think that the EU has issues that can be fixed. But if they don't fix these issues I can see Poland, Hungary and Austria leaving the EU. The EU is trying to impose immigrant quotas on these countries and they are like hell naw and i'm like power to ya

If the countries don't like the immigrant quotas, they can vote against them. That being said, a 1/3 of England (formally known as Scottland) fanatically supported staying in the EU, even if they were at risk of having immigrant quotas installed. The worst scenario for England would be sending the minimum amount of immigrants to Scottland, where they would be wanted. Instead, England chose to violently and irresponsibly rip themselves out of the EU (which was created for the purposes of peace and economic prosperity) without regard to the harm it caused its citizens, businesses, and the rest of Europe.

The EU has made countries vote again and again and or overrules movements like that.

I am no European, I'm just well educated and up to date on news. In regards to the UK if the majority voted in Brexit even if by a small margin this is the popular vote and the rest of the country should respect the popular vote. I have noticed an increase in terrorism and rape incidents among countries that have allowed mass amounts of refugees to flood their countries, the UK, France, Sweden and most of all Germany, while countries that have refused this like Poland, Hungary and Austria have not faced this. The EU needs to not impose things on other countries France threatened to take over 100 million dollars from Poland if they did not accept a certain amount of people. I respect discussion and would love to hear all opinions from anyone :)

Wait, when you say it "overrules movements like that" are you talking about the EU overruling immigration quotas or the removal of immigration quotas?

Ursopia wrote:Wait, when you say it "overrules movements like that" are you talking about the EU overruling immigration quotas or the removal of immigration quotas?

Well, I don't know about that but individual EU countries have disregarded referendums inside their countries in regards to the EU.

Ursopia wrote:Wait, when you say it "overrules movements like that" are you talking about the EU overruling immigration quotas or the removal of immigration quotas?

The removal of immigration quotas.

Atkemri wrote:The removal of immigration quotas.

Here's a resource for you, I found the video halfway down the page to be very helpful. No one person can 'overrule' the voting system. If Britain really cared enough about the immigration quota, they could work with other countries to get a blocking minority or maybe even a majority. As Imperial Des Djohosery mentioned, Poland, Hungary and Austria would make great allies for this, and them alone along with the UK makes for 23% population of the needed 35%.

I support the EU but they have some stuff going on that need to be fixed. I love the free trade, travel and connectedness of Europe under the EU, but we need strip away the vast amount of regulations and other things that they impose on member countries.

Sorry for being so inactive for the last week. I'm usually one of the more active nations in this region, and especially on this rmb (seriously just check out previous pages). I have been sorting out some stuff irl, but now I'm back. I will kick off the end of my inactivity by getting Yarn-Fest started as soon as possible. I can't provide a link for it right now because I'm on mobile, so if you're interested, check out my dispatches and you should see it.

Glad you asked. It's a story-telling competition I've been planning and organizing for the last couple of weeks. You can see it here. Because I have to wait for certain regions to decide whether they wish to participate or not, it will start in maybe a week or so.

It says on there we have two weeks to write the story, so has that two weeks not started yet? Also, if it hasn't started yet, will there be a theme assigned at the beginning of the first two weeks?

Whoops didn't realize I used that poll topic previously 160 days ago...

The two weeks has not started yet. There is no theme for this particular Yarn-Fest, but that is a great idea for if we do another one. I will remember that.

So wait, if the two weeks hasn't started yet and we have all the information we need, whats to stop other people from gaining an unfair advantage by starting earlier? How will you guys know?

Edit: Other than honor, of course

Answer: There isn't. I trust you all to go on honor. However, if the judges receive a 30 page long story on the first day, we probably won't count it. Some nations have already sent in stories to me! These will not be counted. The judges will do our best to interpret these things. In any possible future Yarn Fests, I probably will not tell the rmb's until it starts to avoid this.

Also, I did some mathematics. If I were a single endorsement above Confederation Of Tesdai, it would take me 11.5 years to catch up to him/her in influence! My idea on how influence works might be off, but I'm pretty sure that's correct. Wow, TESDAI!

Greetings, citizens of Land's End!

As some of you are no doubt aware, [nation=short+noflag]Kiselev[/nation] resigned as our Chief Legal Officer.

As the runner up in the most recent elections, I was chosen to fill out the remainder of his term.

What does that mean?

Well, for most of you, it changes functionally nothing.

But for anyone who wishes to propose a bylaw for our region, it means I am now the person to contact.

Telegram me or DM me on the Discord; either way, I will get your message and give your proposal due consideration.

Here's hoping there might actually be some bylaws passed now...

Hello Lands End, I would like to apologize for the recent regional telegram I sent out last night. It was poorly constructed and I know that reflects badly on my part. Which is why a mistake like that, will never happen again. A newly improved regional telegram will be sent out sometime today, this telegram will give more information about the recruitment competition. Again, I'm sorry for any confusion caused by this mistake. We all make mistakes and I've learned from this.
