Region: Lands End
If anyone running for the board hasn't put forward their campaign - would they like to share anything now?
I think we've gotten something from every candidate except for Bonnie Blue Republic (Torranta's was in a dispatch)
Here is a list of RBM responses:
End list
I'll also tag Bonnie to see if we can get a response
Xadrya
Missed the ones on the RMB so thanks for that. I'm familiar with BBR so not too worried about him.
Nordhpadhan
Here's the dispatch if anyone is interested. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=909429
Wenchdom, Nordhpadhan, Xadrya, Ursopia
After Supreme Court Nomination issue our Federal Council informs the Lands End Allies and tourists that our Parlament (Federal Assembly) has changed our Federal Constitution to improve direct democracy.
Federal Court Judges (Supreme Court Judges) were elected by the Federal Assembly since November 11th, 2017.
Now Federal Court Judges are directly elected by all the citizens of the Confederation.
Please take it in mind when you travel in Northpadhan.
Nothing more is changed.
Cantonal judges continued to be directly elected by the citizens of the cantons as usual.
Direct democracy and federalism are hallmarks of the Northpadhan political system.
The Federal Constitution is the legal foundation of the modern federal state. It outlines basic and political rights of individuals and citizen participation in public affairs, divides the powers between the Confederation and the cantons and defines federal jurisdiction and authority. Nordhpadhan citizens are subject to three legal jurisdictions: the municipality, canton and federal levels. There are three main governing bodies on the federal level, the bicameral parliament (legislative), the Federal Council (executive, the Government) and the Federal Court (judicial, the Supreme Court).
We remain.

Okay, I managed to get myself out of bed. The most recent poll garnered very interesting results. In this poll I restricted it to shareholders, 39.5% of our regions shareholders voted in this poll. 11.7% (2) of people say they spend less than 20 minutes in lands end, 64.7% (11) say they spend between 30-60 minutes, 5.8% (1) of people say they spend 60-120 minutes and finally 16.7% (3) said that they spend 120-180 minutes per day. This results were interesting suggesting that the majority of those who are shareholders spend between 30-60 minutes playing this fine, fine game. I hope these results become useful in some manner. I will be putting up a new poll in a bit.
Sincerely,
Xadrya (QUICK MAFS)
Nordhpadhan, Clarkentrent, Bluximburg
Maybe you could do one about which continents people live(with Antarctica as a choice)
Those WA members who haven't voted yet should vote against the GA resolution at vote.
Modern Israel
I added that to my list of potential polls. You requested that second which means I will put up a poll like that for the next one after this current one. Thank you :)
Saint Gloria
The vote is really close right now, 50.8% FOR and 49.2% AGAINST. If my fellow freedom loving countries haven't voted yet, I encourage you to do so and vote AGAINST the current resolution. In order to protect national sovereignty.
Saint Gloria, Nordhpadhan
If all o yall could answer the poll, I would be grateful. I am actually genuinely curious of what you all though about Yarn-Fest. If too many nations vote whats that? I will know that I did not advertise it well enough. Also, if you have any ideas of what I could do better for next time, that would be great too.
Wenchdom, Nordhpadhan
Or it could indicate that they know what yarn is, and what a festival is, but not why one would have a festival about yarn. Of course then again our main export are bladed weapons and not textiles.
∆∆∆ what he said ∆∆∆
I love Yarn Fest. In Northpadhan 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool :-D

For those that sent me poll suggestions I will try to get them up after this poll. I have a few more urgent polls I needed to put up but if
nothing else comes up I will be able to put up some suggested polls.
Saint Gloria, Sharlin
Xadrya As much as I understand that specific polls should go to specific people, ie: shareholders If you want more participation open up more polls to All of the region.

I'm liking the descriptions I've received so far. If you need to see any of them:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=917171
Those who haven't sent me one: just TG me a relatively detailed description of your nations geography and location. I'll fill in the rest of the blanks based on policy and ratings.
I'd like to announce that the Greater Jes New Islands has accidentally released giant radioactive intelligent lobsters into the wild and they may have migrated to other nations. If you find any please send them back home, we miss them.
Xadrya, Clarkentrent
I've got 15 reads but only 8 nations have actually given me a description and only 1 nation has corrected me on anything. That's fine and all but if you take the time to read it and are interested remember to tell me your nation details or if you already did correct any mistakes you see. If so TG me.
So uh..., am I the only conservative here that sees the importance in protecting the environment. I realize that the majority of capitalist states in this game tend to focus more on the economy and less on the environment.
Yeah, pretty much. I don't see much conservation of the environment. Though I've seen a few like you.
The Greater Jes Islands cares about the environment deeply, and we are doing everything to fix up our environment. We just dont know how. For the first month we passed new environment laws we just stuck sticks in the ground and hoped they grow back as trees.
Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Bluximburg
Whats the point of having all that money when you are getting choked by poisonous gas.... COME ON PEOPLE! Don't be like China.
You're description of your environment had me laughing, I thought I was bad
Yeah, a lot of us focus more on economy. It's difficult in the issues to find a balance between economy and environmental regulations. If I could fix it up without sacrificing much I would, nothing has come up to allow me to do that.
Clarkentrent, Bluximburg
I would prioritize the environment and the health of my population, and I find that my economy actually improves because of that. I rather have an average economy and a healthy population rather than a powerhouse economy and a terrible environment. I guess it is based on preference. I like balance.
I might have tried to find balance if my environment wasn't so far down the drain as it is now.
Saint Gloria
Quick question, is it possible for one region to invade another region? Or do wars happen internally within a region?
I took down the current poll because I found that people will most likely just telegram me from the regional telegram. Everyone who wants to PLEASE continue to telegram me your nations geographical and political descriptions. I just put a new poll, this ones a break from the seriousness, a hybrid of the suggestion from Saint Gloria.
Also, does everyone like how I put Scandinavian hellhole, this being a reference to Sweden's crap?
Saint Gloria, Bluximburg, Modern Israel
There are regions that raid other regions by moving nations to that region and endorsing each other until they have enough influence to ban/eject/banject the officials of the region. (At least I think that's how it works). And there is also role-played wars on rmb's or Discord and such if you're into that.
Probably. Personally I'd prefer to nuke the whales for Jesus, but that's my tastes.
Fancy fancy. People seem to be liking the descriptions from what I heard. Amazing job Torranta and Jes New Islands for giving me the most detailed and unique descriptions. Despite the fact I loved theirs a lot so far everyone's is very good. I'm still accepting descriptions so keep shooting them at me. Also I notice I've made occasional grammatical errors. If it makes you feel safe and secure and get those nice warm cozy feeling make sure to TG me and tell me where I absolutely destroyed the English language. Thanks. And CLARKETRENT gave a good description
Hello.
Xadrya
Yeah, this isn't my main nation, so I couldn't enter this one into the WA.

Torranta, Xadrya
Confederation Of Tesdai, Nosotalio would you two like to be on the map? You both are government officials so I would assume you would want to be on the map?
The version of Torranta's geography was highly paraphrased on Xadrya's dispatch since it was so extensive. For a more detailed version, see here. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=torranta/detail=factbook/id=917314
So far I've added in all of the geographical descriptions sent to me. PLEASE DO send me one if you haven't
Hello, i'm wondering how to boost the economy without harming rights.
Torranta, Clarkentrent
Thanks, i'll try and work on that. Thanks for the advice!
You're welcome, sorry if it wasn't too helpful. It takes time to improve these things, you may also have occasional setbacks. But if your patient you can improve any aspect of your nation.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, your nation will never be as sexy as mine. Call me for a mediocre time.*winks, bats eyelashes, licks lips, then vomits*
Calckuo, Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Modern Israel
Funny how a national body can *wink, bat eyelashes, lick lips and then vomit*

Modern Israel
Thanks for the votes. Glad to see the turn out. Congrats Momo for not running and getting a vote.
I run for election once, get no votes. I don't run for election, I get one vote. Something seems wrong here.
[nation=arudis] remember that election?
I would like to thank all who participated for voting, and thank you for electing me as your CRO. Congratulations to Bonnie Blue Republic, Torranta, and Xadrya. To Bluximburg, I hope this does not in any way discourage you from pursuing a management role in Lands End in the future.
Xadrya, Bluximburg
Thankyou Shareholders of Lands End! I will do my best to serve you this term. First order of business: Bow down to me, peasants!
I wasnt there for that one, but I read about it on the rmb.
Hail!
There is currently no Vice President for Public Relations. If you are interested in filling the vacancy, TG me with at least 1 good reason you should be the VP-PR. I will also look at applications for the other 3 SM positions as well.
Hello all, I just joined.

Hi! Welcome to the region. If there is anything you want to know about the region (including how to become a shareholder) the information center is located on the World Factbook Entry for Lands End. Any questions you might have that aren't answered there can be answered via the regional message board by one of our members.

Congratulations on your victories Clarkentrent, Bonnie Blue, Torranta and Xadrya. I am confident that y'all will do a fine job!

If I did anything wrong on the poll, repeats or anything like that do tell me.

Welcome!

If any of you want a position as Ambassador you can TG me giving a good reason why you are qualified for Ambassador position.
For the poll, I might argue that Republic is not an ideology. However, I voted for it because selecting any other choice would go against my nation's beliefs. Republic implies that it is the people's decision what the country is. So, its ideology is ever-shifting and ever-changing. The individual provinces of my nation have specific ideologies, though. Eickertin Province is a mix of Anarchist and Centrist, Eglat Province is both Libertarian and Classical Liberal Democracy, Ardota Province is Theocratic, Darmstatd Province is Nationalist Left-Wing, Karka-dum is Nationalist Right-Wing. Subterranea is Conservative, and Ithilien Province is Centrist. For the most part though, the nation is currently focused on Libertarian Conservatism (not to be confused with liberal conservatism, mind you). We do have some pretty liberal policies, though. Most prominent, is the people's right to nudity.
Nilas, Xadrya, Bluximburg, Modern Israel
How does one get a special classification? like, for example, I can't call myself a "subterranean fortress of"(BTW, I think that's the best classification ever Torranta) If someone could explain it to me, it would be greatly appreciated.
You are allowed to make your own classification once your population reaches 500 million. Also, thanks.
Nilas, Modern Israel
Ah, thanks for answering.
Attention residents of Lands End. Xadrya has named Bluximburg as the new Ambassador for Lands End! He is accepting more than one ambassador, so feel free to keep applying to become one. In the future, the list of ambassadors can be seen on this dispatch. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=871056
Also, once again the Senior Management positions are available, feel free to apply. See this dispatch for more information. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=874596
Congrats to Bluximburg!
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Nosotalio, Nordhpadhan, Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Ursopia, Bluximburg
Thats not too far from my nation. I wasnt sure whether Republic is really the right classification, as I like to think of my country as a Federation of Districts, rather than a National government with areas only used for voting, like the US has unfortunately become.
I'm talking about the form of Federal Government. A country is not a country if the federation of states or provinces does not have a single over arching entity that is considered to be a government body. If every state has their own government but no federal government exists then it can be argued that those states are countries.
The overarching government is more of a Federation similar to an EU (hopefully not as crap as the EU), because I am a huge advocate for local powers. Essentially, each providence has equal voting power, and how that vote is decided is down to the people. If everybody in one of the providences wishes to form a monarchy, their king would potentially be in control of their vote. By default though, each providence has a democratic anarchy, and it is up to the people of the providence to decide what they want for their government. This is intended to allow all different types of people to coexist in a nation. For example, lets say I want to get married to my boyfriend. Both of us being male, some providences may not allow us to get married, but because all of the providences have free travel, we could move to a providence that suits our opinions, while other likeminded Nilasians do the same. There would never be any major legal debates due to the nature of finding the providence for you.
Xadrya
What if every province (or providence?) has the same views?
I have been working on my nation's layout a lot recently (I didn't have much to do during the election). I have made detailed descriptions of my nation's geography and its government. The government dispatch was made to keep the structure of Torranta a bit mysterious and to make you guess or infer a few aspects of it. Here are the dispatches containing this information if you are interested. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=917314 https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=852169
Nilas, Xadrya
I guess if everyone in the entire country has the same views, all the providences would be the same, and everybody would live together in harmony singing around the campfire late into the night. Realistically, it is instinctual for humans single out opposition and divide into groups, so that would never happen. Its a nice thought though.
Edit: I just realized that I have been typing Providence instead of Province.
Torranta, Xadrya
Hello how are you all doing on this mighty fine day?
I think im dead but I dont know how to see if im actually dead
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
Hey Unike! Nice to see you, Im doing pretty fantastic, how about yourself?
Unike
Doin well man. Except for Discord.
Howdy, haven't seen you in a while.
Unike
🤔 It hasnt been that long considering I said I would silently work in the shadows for the rest of my term or possibly longer. (maybe not in those exact words but yanno)
Nilas
Yeah but it's been a while since I've directly spoken with you at all.
Hey, I'm doing great. I'm super excited for a few of the LE projects I'm working on (Including the map project with Xadrya.) Speaking of which, I kinda remember you doing a poll asking people of LE for their age. Do you still have the results? It may help for project demographics.
Hmm well that means its time to disappear again then! Be careful with your pen it might disappear as well 😉
