I have already tried that, but after a while it goes back to zero. It 'forgets' that I provide cheap housing to the poor, for example.

Hi

Can I Have Permission To Build A Space Station?
A normal news segment on ABSN would be playing when someone rushes in and hands some paper to the people talking
The camera would pan over to the ABSN Breaking News setup while multiple people start running in and setting up things
BREAKING NEWS
The Arstotskianian monarchy, thought to have been killed off in the 1850s has found an heir! While a scholar at Shingsai was studying birth records of the monarchy they found a LIVING HEIR TO THE THRONE! The government seems to have willingly given away the majority of their power to the new monarchy while keeping some power to do things. The found heir is an Upper Class resident of Haliensi known as James José is now known as King James the VIIth. The monarch's family is being looked into to be moved up to royal statuses. The flag is being changed by the new monarch, expect the change later.
The cameraman then accidentally tips over the camera setup, getting 2 people stuck

I got an invite to write issues this morning. Would it be a good idea to write issues by yourself? If yes, does any of you have a good, new idea or political question that could be used for an issue?
Tesdai, Mimzyin
Out with the old in with the new. Basically a problem about all of the waste from things which are fine

I would suggest that if you plan on writing issues, that you check out the Got Issues? forum.
Hello! I saw the recruitment telegram and I decided to join. I really hope this region is the right one for me.

I'm wondering, are you genuinely obsessed with bananas, or are you just trolling?
Also, 'whale' is written with the letter h. I assume you mean the large, swimming mammal with 'wale' (which currently lives in your forests).

The plural of 'octopus' is 'octopuses', but 'octopodes' could also be used. The word itself isn't of Latin origin (it's Greek) and shouldn't be written in the Latin plural form.
But yeah, they are cool.

Scandal over skit
The Comedy skit company Bill and Bertha has today a shocking and hilarious satire about homosexuality in Biggonia and how much of the diet is in fact closeted and in opposition to the gay marriage laws.
The skit starts with an entourage of priestesses from Kathricore entering into Biggonia. Playing off the common Kath stereotype, this causes all of the female portion of the diet to realise their true closeted nature, and declare themselves as lesbians, despite this being in clear violation of Biggonian law.
After this, the men of the diet are at first annoyed but after spending time with each other they realise that they too are closeted and declare themselves. The skit ends with Empress Ricardina being throughly confused about the whole situation.
As was expected, the diet has been thrown into uproar over this piece. However, since Bill and Bertha is both Tallandic and a licensed satire organization, by not directly insulting Empress Ricardina they have not committed any crimes. Already many lawsuits have been brought up but we are as of yet unaware whether they will go through.

Under the leadership of our new glorious president, it is becoming increasingly harder to make and post messages here on the Lands End board. But, we don't have anything bad to say about it! It's just his choice to make our nation isolationist and self-dependent, and closed off from the rest of the world.

Probably the first one
It forbids anyone from making a profit on selling hormone therapy, and therefore imposes a certain economic system on member states. Not everyone might agree with that.
Also, I think some points might be open for interpretation, as there can be a fine line between 'coercing' and 'advising'.

I think it's great it allows a new class of people to join society. I guess it is bad for business but I'm sure they can adjust it is for the people.

As your walking down the street, you see a large group of people all standing in a circle around something. As a police officer, you walk over and push your way through the circle of people, trying to find out what all the commotion is about. And what you see on the ground shocks you to your very core.

Hello
hi
Bazooka Joe, United Danekaokmo
Random fact you can't hum while holding your nose
Hooseria Magna
The URA recommendation hasn't come out yet, but I implore all of you in the WA to vote AGAINST the current WA proposal in the Security Council "Against Quorum Raiding".
Hooseria Magna, Antarctican Immagrants, Wallacia Ki
I got a telegram saying
'' Hello, Chocolatistan!
The Partnership for Sovereignty, a coalition of like-minded regions concerned for the self-determination and security of all regions, would like you to vote FOR the declaration entitled "Against Quorum Raiding" when it reaches the floor of the Security Council for a vote.
Today, many regions, and maybe even your own, continue to face threats by those who disregard the rights and freedoms of voting World Assembly members, specifically in how regional delegates cast their approvals on World Assembly resolutions.
These forces engage in a practice variously called "quorum raiding" or "approval raiding", but it is all the same. Through this practice, they invade innocent regions and topple delegates to remove an approval on proposed World Assembly resolutions they do not support. Instead of using the democratic process of the floor vote, they would rather use the threat of force to get their way.
Some proponents of this practice argue that quorum raiding is necessary to prevent hateful ideologists from scoring wins in the World Assembly with trojan horse proposals. That much is true, and the proposed declaration carves out an exception on that basis whilst advocating for the sovereignty of innocent regions.
The proposed declaration, "Against Quorum Raiding", would send a strong message that the World Assembly stands opposed to this unfair and anti-democratic practice, but it needs you to vote FOR.
Can the Partnership for Sovereignty count on you to vote FOR? If so, again, please make sure to head on over to "Against Quorum Raiding" and vote FOR. ''
I usually don't get telegrams about WA proposals. Is this spam?
Tesdai, Hooseria Magna, Antarctican Immagrants, Biggonian Megaist Empire, United Villages Of Eisbutch

Could you explain your position further? It seems to be a very divisive issue.
Did you know that 60% of genes in human DNA does have a recognizable counterpart in the banana genome, and that the proteins encoded by those have around 40% similarity in amino acid sequence?
You are in a way half of a banana.

3 Islands Of The East Pacific do you want the islands to the northwest of you?
I got one just like that. I cannot belif this!

Same here, I got 2 telegrams. One telling me to vote FOR it, and one telling me to vote AGAINST it. Either way, I voted against.
Tesdai
They need to stop telling us what to do. We can make decisions by ourselves!
Bazooka Joe, United Villages Of Eisbutch
It simply a party trying to get support for their cause, nothing more.

Quorum Raiding is a hot topic isn't it. There are two telegram that asking me to vote for and against
Tesdai, Chocolatistan
As I said it's simply politics, everyone is just wanting what is best for their interests.
Tesdai
Tbh I don't even know what Quorum Raiding is. I'm not really in the mood to read walls of text to find out.
Tesdai
So is it to vote against or for?
Against.
Tesdai
I know! In my case tough im 90% banana
Hi Mr Banana
You know I'm mostly surprised your national animal isn't a banana
It also isnt an animal. Its an godess
That's makes a lot more sense now
Sorry for the trouble but I'm having a hard time understanding what the WA Assembly things are saying, all I can see is words that I don't know and I just end up voting for the majority in our region, is there anyone who could quickly summarise what the legislations are saying. Thanks
Tesdai, Antarctican Immagrants, The Tribia, Chocolatistan
If I'm understanding it it's basically were their trying to stop wa delegets from invading regions and forcing ideologies on them through some sort of threat.
Sorry but that's all I got from it someone correct me if I'm wrong

Sorry for the late replies on these. The URA dispatch explains it and some issues that I, along with others, have with it:
And as our buddy over in CK Duby said, Declarations actually don't do anything and are mostly just posturing that have no real effect. On another note, its because one of the ways we as a medium-sized region can affect the WA, along with the fact that the JTF (our military here in Lands End) at times has participated in Quorum Raiding. Its the same raider bad rhetoric that the defender-sphere is always trying to push.
Duby, Hooseria Magna, The Tribia, Chocolatistan, Arstotskiano, Authoritism
I find the Security Council Resolution at vote, namely Against Quorum Raiding, to be a bit strange. It condemns quorum raiding while, while simultaneously providing a legal basis to do exactly that. I am against quorum raiding because it is undemocratic, which I believe shouln't be how the WA works (also, if a (fascist) proposal is approved for voting, people can of course vote against it), but I am not sure wheter I should vote for it, because of the aforementioned 'contradiction'.

Attention citizens of Ivasburg. Several bombs have exploded in locations across Ivasburg. The Royal Prison, Diet House and BSI headquarters amongst others have been bombed.
More and more bombs are exploding across Ivasburg or being discovered. As of right now, Ivasburg authorities have little idea who planted them or what they have planned.
If you are travelling to Ivasburg please return to your town, and all Ivasburg citizens should stay in their homes and avoid crowded places until further notice.
The situation is under control

Earlier today a vicious terror attack was carried out in Ivasburg by the FDF, or Free Domlandia Front. Their leader, who has hidden their identity, has released this statement to the press.
"Attention, dogs of Biggonia. We are the Free Domlandia Front, and we have suffered too long under your oppressive boot. It is time for the Domlandians to break free of their chains and to crush Biggonia. Let it be known that me and my army of brothers will not rest until your monuments are burnt, your people enslaved and your precious Empress dead."
Strong words it seems. Empress Ricardina has called a state of emergency, with the diet being suspended for the forseeable future. Absolute power will be transferred to Talland, though her majesty is highly expected to delegate a lot of this power to her older and more experienced advisors.

I've been putting off endorsing for a while now.
Just wanted to say sorry to TES.
(Also, whoever suggested copy and pasting all the countries into something else and clicking all the links there instead of tapping them on the telegram is a genius).
Tesdai, The Tribia
How do you do that? I have had the feeling for a while that the amount of clicks you need to endorse the countries in the telegram is unnecessary large.
Tesdai
Well what I do is I:
1. Open Google Docs
2. Open the telegram
3. Hold left click down on the nation names
4. Right click and copy
5. Paste in Google Docs
6. Click as many nation links that you can
7. Click the last tab and scroll down to endorse
8. Delete the tab after endorsing
(This will take you to the tab behind the tab you just closed)
9. Scroll down to endorse and delete the tab
10. Repeat no. 9 until there are no tabs left
11. Delete all the nation names off Google Docs that you have endorsed
12. Repeat from no. 6 until you have endorsed every nation on the list

Hey there, this is just a general question: What population/anything else do I need to have to get a custom classification? (e.g, Kingdom of, Republic of, Monarchy of, Dictatorship of, etc.)
Biggonian Megaist Empire, The Tribia
Idk. My other Account has 1.billion people and I can do it so I guess 1 Billion?

Go to settings --> classification, by default it is set to republic I believe. You can change it, and don't for forget to press on 'update' to save the change.

None of those are custom.

Post self-deleted by Antarctican Immagrants.
You could just middle click on all the nations (if youre on PC), which opens a new tab in the background. If you use the NS-Breeze plugin (I think thats what its called), you can just hit the E key on your keyboard on a nation page to endorse that person. I personally dont use Breeze as I dont do R/D and I think itd be more effort to get it installed than to just endorse new people as they join the WA.
The ones you listed arent custom and can just be changed in the settings menu. To get a custom one, you need to have 500 Million population.

Empress Ricardina impeached
Following Ricardina Palmedorf-Tallandos' unlawful seizure of absolute power, the Imperial diet has declared her unfit to rule and must therefore be removed from office. It is the civic duty of all Biggonians to defend their nation from both threats abroad and those at home, tyrannical rulers being amongst those.
Unfortunately, Miss Palmedorf-Tallandos has yet to recognise this, and still clings onto her power. Therefore the special forces from Suddereich, Seltsamia and Grenzland gave all been deployed to encircle the Imperial palace and force a surrender.
While Field-Marshal Edward Hussein claims the Imperial Guard will stand to the last man to defend their 'divinely-ordained' leader, their forces are understrength and will not be able to preserve the Tallandic absolutism for much longer.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM WILLIAM VALDEZ HAS BEEN GIVEN
William Valdez dressed in his normal, a black suit wearing a Tribian flag pin, sitting at the desk in his office, flanked by his Minister of Defense and Head of the TSF
"Citizens of Tribia. As you all know from the media, that my mom, Anne Valdez was murdered in the city of Brison. Now what you may not know was, who was the culprit. To save this person from the embarrassment, I will not give their name. But I will tell you how she died."
He takes a long pause, then speaks again
"She was shot in the head, and according to the doctors upon the autopsy, upon impact, the bullet knocked her down to the ground. She was not dead immediately however. She passed out unconscious, and didn't die for another 2 minutes before she bled out. When I first heard of this, I was shocked. She was my mother, the oldest alive in the Valdez family line. Now this responsibility passes down to me, the last living member of the Valdez family line. And may I assure you, the person who killed her, he has been killed for this murder, via lethal injection. May my mother, Anne, find peace in death."
//The following bit is only known OOC. Not IC
The news conference ends, and William instructs everyone to leave the room except his Minister of Defense and the Head of the TSF. Then as everyone leaves, William begins to speak to his Minister and Head of the TSF
"Our suspect has been killed correct?"
"Yes sir, we took him quietly in the night, he had no outstanding important connections, and he was no problem for our men," replies the Head of the TSF.
"Very good. She never treated me all that well. Im glad your men could take care of her quietly. And with this, the last Maximus sympathizers have been swept away. The regime of Maximus is now truly over."
