Why hi there Arqiun! Its great to have you with us. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. :)
Arqiun
The tables have turned. We have a new delegate once again.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa
For the moment.
Legoa, Peacockastan, Voivodato Di Uyutta, Unitary Occitania
Hello there fellows!
Mighty fine to consider this folk here to fit into your club. But in the end we shall see how it's upheld.
For the time being we gracefully accept your proposal, may we all prosper from this moment henceforth.
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia, Deims Kir
As long as everyone's endorsing it's all good I guess.

Also, the Data Protection Accord's about to pass. I voted nay.
Try and remember to not double post; if you need to say something else then you can use the edit function.
I also voted Against that resolution and I wish that it had met some stronger resistance.
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Southern Coral Islands
Im right there with you Peacockastan :) At least the majority of our region did.

I HAVE RETURNED
Legoa, Deims Kir, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Good for you.
Happy to have you.

Oh noes!
Legoa
When my economy rises 120% from 0 to 1.
Legoa, Malsistan
Let's play "The people of (above nation) are so dumb ..." I'll go first. The people of above nation are so dumb, what they just said makes sense to them. I know you feel megaburned right now, but it's all in good fun.
Legoa, Google Is Bing
Legoa
No, you were supposed to burn me back.
EDIT: Let me give another example. The people of Buryasia are so dumb, they put lipstick on their foreheads to make up their minds.
Legoa, Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia, Google Is Bing
I laughed way too hard when I looked at your Trends. But you are literally starting at the rock bottom making your way to the top
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, Google Is Bing
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa
I thought being top 4% in primitiveness in the world was a societal and developmental bottleneck.
Guess Google Is Bing got it worse having a basket case economy than my under water basket weaving bachelor graduates.
Legoa, Google Is Bing
I need to reduce my political freedom and increase my civil rights. I'm trying to get a benevolent dictatorship.

Great to see you back!

Haha that is actually quite good ;) thanks for the laugh Buryasia!

Make a: Who Do You Think Will Win the Democratic Primary?
Choices:
1. Elizabeth Warren
2. Bernie Sanders
3. Joe Biden
4. Pete Buttgieg
5. Micheal Bloomberg
6. Amy Klobuchar
7. Tom Steyer
8. John Delaney
9. Tulsi Gabbard
10.Deval Patrick
11. Andrew Yang
If there's too many choices, we could narrow it down to the top 8 in the polls right now, which would be those who qualified for the DNC's January Debate, plus Bloomberg and Yang.
Legoa
Seems to me it will be one of the top 3. I give Biden a bit of an edge. Just a guess though really. Personally, I'll vote for any of them over El Trompo, but that's just my opinion.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa
To be honest, its looking like a tight race between Warren and Bernie, although I believe I've seen somewhere that Bernie's been leading ahead of Warren in polls.
Have you ever just randomly picked a decision for an issue just for fun and found that your economy isn't a circus anymore.
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, South-Central Rhodesia, Biscany, Acceptance Is Just Madness
Yes
I'm new to all this Nationstates thing. Any tips?
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, South-Central Rhodesia, Zatario
My money is on Sanders. Im guessing he is going to get Washington State in the primary, and most likely get to the caucus.
The Democracy Of Red Star
I'm expecting Biden to win most of the primaries in the south due to relatively strong black and moderate support. With this region of the country under his control and with most other states being a three way battle between him, Warren, and Sanders, he should win enough of the primaries to gain the party nomination for the general election.
The Democracy Of Red Star
If you haven't joined the World Assembly yet then I strongly recommend that you do so. Also, welcome!
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star, South-Central Rhodesia, Deims Kir, Southern Coral Islands, Phorbus
With the way it looks, probably Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. Warren is just Sanders lite and won´t make it all that far when it really gets down to it. EIther one of them could pull it out but I don´t think either of them could beat Trump especially not Biden.
The Federation Of Spokane
Isn't Sanders Socialist?
Are you trolling or serious? Socialist/capitalist isn't an either or. Here in Lands End, we're staunchly capitalist. But hey, do you believe in publicly owned roads, or do you prefer toll roads? Does your answer make you a socialist?
Anyway, yes, Sanders leans further socialist economically than probably any president the USA has had. And personally, a degree or two further than I wish he did. But politically, he's not the biggest friend of Russia the USA has had. So in my opinion being politically close to an enemy power that still seeks to undermine the USA in many ways is more a betrayal of US values than having a few lefty economic ideas.
Hey, on another topic, BBR, or Peacock, or whoever the delegate is today, what is going on in the WA? Why is a nation with 12 million people's proposal to create an uber database of genetic forensic invasions of privacy reaching a full vote?
Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia, Deims Kir, Ugul Flugul
Conch Kingdom is very happy to announce the joint Role Play event between Conch Kingdom and TSP!
We will have many keynote speakers included from both Conch Kingdom and The South Pacific. An RP debate, character profiling and and Much more. The event starts on January 20th and runs for 5 days!
EVERYONE is invited, so, you don't have to be a citizen of TSP or CK to join. So If you are into Role-playing come join and enjoy! https://discord.gg/GdgVAty

So somebody linked NS on Reddit and now we have a lot of site traffic!
Welcome newcomers!
If you are intrested in joining our military just telegram me and I can get you started.
Peacockastan, Verx
For those of you who are curious about NS's new "popularity", see this thread: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=479975
Welcome, new nations!
South-Central Rhodesia
New player, just wanted to see if anyone had any advice?
Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia
Ahh, my advice is, play any way you want to play, don't be afraid to use your imagination to fill in the areas where gameplay doesn't really serve, and don't be afraid to shake things up. NS gameplay won't really change much but the conversations we have and alliances we build are sorely in need of new ideas!
edit: Oh and if you aren't using them, gift me your cards! MUHAHAHAHA!

I see you are already a World Assembly member, so the next thing I would do is learn more about this region's government and what we do here. There are some dispatches pinned in the region's WFE, I'll link one here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1273652
Bonnie Blue Republic, Buryasia, South-Central Rhodesia, Biscany, Anatalle
Why is the world assembly antagonistic towards businesses?
Peacockastan
Because the World Assembly leans left.
That's just the way it goes.
Legoa, Peacockastan, Deims Kir, Phorbus
Pretty much what BBR said, for years it has gone more and more left.
Phorbus
I'd like to go ahead and welcome any and all new nations to the region, thanks to you, we're now at 220+ nations! Anyway, if you have any questions whatsoever, please ask me or make a post on the RMB and someone else can help you.
If you're not sure what to do now, join the World Assembly and an entirely different side of the game will be opened up to you! Once you've joined the World Assembly, feel free to endorse everyone in the region, that'd really help. You can also apply to become a shareholder, meaning you can participate in our regional government by voting, proposing bylaws, or even running for a position yourself.
Thank you for choosing Lands End to be your nation's home and I hope to see y'all around.

How do you join World Assembly?
Grater Tovakia, Peacockastan, Deims Kir
Click this link: www.nationstates.net/page=un
After that, you can click the apply button at the top of that page, make sure that you have an email attached to your nation because you need one to join the WA. You can see that in your nation's settings page.

Guess that makes sense since international assemblies are something of a leftist idea anyways.
Also, how come WA legislature gets overwhelmingly passed but the repeal of the same law gets the same treatment?
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, Phorbus
I think that is because, usually, when they advance a repeal it is with a plan to soon replace with what someone sees as a better resolution. OR a second reason for a repeal is so that the author of the repeal gets a badge.
I've said it before but since we have so many new members I'll say it again: My main complaint about the WA is that they are legislating for not just one world but a universe of fantastic nations & worlds. We have nations of magic and nations that occupy asteroids floating through interstellar space. But the WA insists on legislating as though we have a small, manageable, nearly homogeneous community of nations that can and should be tightly regulated.

*wakes up, checks NS and immediately faints*
yay, new people to build relations with!
Expect to see new relationships!

The WA has a bias to pass anything that gets to vote. Repeal, policy, condemnation, commendation, the general bias is to pass it all.

Hello Lands End!
I am new here and I would like to introduce myself, and ask for any tips for a beginner. Any help will do!
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, Peacockastan, South-Central Rhodesia, Heplon, Phorbus, Anatalle
Hi there! :) A very warm welcome! Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have.

Buryasia, Legoa, Peacockastan
A lot of information was left out of that regional telegram that just went out announcing the passing of a new company bylaw so I've placed the bylaw in its entirety down below. It will also be added to our bylaws dispatch shortly (this can be found pinned in the region's WFE).
[spoiler]Secretary of the Board (SotB):
The Board of Directors, recognizing the need for a dedicated personage to handle all official regional documentation and dispatches, hereby orders the creation of the Office of the Secretary of the Board. The duties of the Secretary are as follows:
-To maintain regional dispatches, ensuring they are updated
-To aid the board in the writing of any treaties or other such official documents as should be required in the operation of the company
The Secretary of the Board shall be appointed by the Board of Directors (majority vote); there shall be no set term for this appointment, however, the Secretary may be removed from office at the discretion of the Board (majority vote).
The Secretary of the Board does not hold a position on the Board of Directors, but is instead a Senior Management position; the Secretary of the Board is a Tier Two position in reference to the Augustin Alliance Hierarchy. Seeing as how the Secretary is a termless appointment, the board authorizes the holder of this position to hold additional official positions as long as it coincides with all other company bylaws.
Furthermore, seeing that there is now no further need for a Vice-President of Accounting (VP-A) due to both the creation of this new position and the significant automation of the VP-A's duties, the board will no longer employ a VP-A following the current VP-A's resignation or removal.[/spoiler]
I'd also like to take this chance to announce the first Secretary of the Board will be Tesdai starting immediately.

Thank you Peacock, I'll be glad to be officially taking over the duties as Secretary of the Board.

We should flex our power and begin a conquest of other corporations. The time to strike has come.

And what do you mean by that exactly......
South-Central Rhodesia
Post by Voivodato Di Uyutta suppressed by New Slovakastan.
I just mean the World Assembly is gay. No one should create laws in my border if is not someone part of mine territories. Just a sovereignty motivation.
I fail to see how the view that a nation should be allowed to make their own laws has anything to do with either the World Assembly's orientation or whether it is happy.

Well, you can see from miles it's gay. I don't judge. It's just a fact lol
Whilst the majority of us agree that the WA is harmful to our nations, please use a better adjective. Nothing derogatory, if you dont mind.
Thanks,
CLO New Slovak

Well...
The Democracy Of Red Star
Beautifully put New Slovak, thank you.
New Slovakastan, The Democracy Of Red Star, Mythel, Peacockastan, Deims Kir, Southern Coral Islands
The posts were suppressed, we exist to promote a welcoming and non-toxic environment. I fully support any reasonable and civil arguments, there is just no need for derogatory adjectives (even if describing the WA...).
- And yes, we do support free speech. To an extent.
Yours truly,

Just cuz he can say it don't mean we have to allow it to remain on our RMB in perpetuity.

Bruh, this only for a word of three letter, for something which dosen't even exist lol.
However, if someone is offended, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention.

However hello
This is a region comprising of over 200 individual people, we aim to respect every single one of them. There is a high probability that one of those 200+ are gay, and that theyd find offense to it. Im just doing my job and keeping the region mature.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Democracy Of Red Star, South-Central Rhodesia, Voivodato Di Uyutta, Southern Coral Islands, Trivial Slope
Some of the things they're trying to pass in the WA is wack.
Legoa, Peacockastan, Malsistan
I agree 100% which is why I've voted against both the GA resolution and the RP condemnation in the SC.
Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia
I hope someone makes a repeal for this shizz
Indeed "Ban of the involutary amministration of Drugs" is quite strange, it should be already outlawed in some way even without the WA?
Personally it's like a joke.
Buryasia, Biscany
I'm new to the game and have started to notice the serious problems of the World Assembly. All the laws that pass restrict the powers of individual nations and they seem to go way too far, it's like the world assembly wants to micromanage every nation. In your opinion is it worth being a member of the WA?
Buryasia, Peacockastan, Voivodato Di Uyutta, Biscany, Phorbus, Offshoreland
Well, it's quite reasonable considering that each person playing this has their own individual interests in what they believe is moral and correct.
Southern Coral Islands
Being a World Assembly member helps the region exponentially. Every endorsement I receive as WA Delegate gives this region an extra vote to stop stuff like this from passing.
Buryasia, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Offshoreland
Would anybody be willing to participate in a game of Town of Salem eventually? Id like to know how many people would like to play in future events.
Peacockastan, Phorbus
Well,Well.
Its ultimately your independent judgement call. We've noticed that WA resolutions have a very minor effect on the statistics of your nation. A real effect, but small. I imagine the resolutions as toothless and unenforceable/unenforced, which might explain why their effects are so small. However, as this game is really a role-playing game more than any thing else, you will have to decide what is right for your nation. But in closing, Peacock is absolutely right -- the influence of the region comes from membership in the WA, and endorsements. Think of WA endorsements like blood cells -- too few and Lands End withers and dies. That said, residents and shareholders are like the organs of Lands End. I'd rather have you here and not in the WA, than have you leave the region. Which I guess is why it is not mandatory.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Voivodato Di Uyutta, Southern Coral Islands, Offshoreland
I agree with everything BA said, but I wanted to clarify on this specific point a little bit, the amount that the WA affects your nation's stats is substantially less than the effect that issues give to your stats. IIRC, they are barely comparable.

Please answer this.
The Democracy Of Red Star
Ok hi Im site Ambassador, I handle the on site job of ambassador. Which is to scout out regions at request of the CTO. Well the discord Ambassador would do the same things but on discord. ((I think, but correct me if Im wrong please The Federation Of Spokane))
Legoa
Yeah, as far as I understand it, the discord ambassador would go into the foreign discord servers of embassy regions and they would also communicate with the board on behalf of the CTO in our discord server. They would also go into foreign discord servers to build relations and find out if they would be a good candidate for having an embassy.
EDIT: I was going to answer this question earlier, but I wanted Spokane to answer it in case I didn't fully understand it.
