Region: Lands End
Welcome
Nilas
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!
Nilas, Shady Sands
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.
Unike, Sharlin
Welcome to Lands End if you have any questions about us or NationStates feel free to check out the information dispatch

HELLO! i'm NEW!

Post self-deleted by Sharlin.
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.
Nilas, Metal Cybersnake, Isollis, Sharlin, Imperial Des Djohosery
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!
Nilas, Unike
I'll take it.
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.
Killing commies is probably a bad idea...
Right, Tulov?
Nilas, Tulov, Arising
It was a metaphor!
Nilas, Sharlin
Sure it was...
Nilas, Sharlin
I don't understand. What two things did you metaphor compare?
Nilas
You know, that's a really good question.
Nilas
My Metaphor compared the duoallity and complexity of the commend ability of two different alternating ideologies and they circle back and forth amongst peoples.
Nilas
How so?
By taking a short analaysis of the immediate reactions that fews people have upon the Jux Ta Postion of alternative ideologies.
And you've lost me.
Ah well.
Nilas
I think he may just be trolling. That or he doesn't know what a metaphor is.
Nilas
I'm just here to get activity on the RMB.
Nilas
Lingo Technobabble Word-Speak, Definition.
Nilas
Lol, maybe we should start hosting RP games and advertising them here. Or just ask an open-ended question and mention a bunch of nations who are in LE.
Nilas
The rule is that the more obscure/fancy the words you use are, the less attention you have to pay to grammar.
Nilas
I was just getting out of a situation.
Nilas
Really? We couldn't tell!
(Please tell me everyone knew this already.)
Well, it takes a real man to admit that. Just maybe try admitting fault sooner next time instead of throwing together a bunch of huge words.
Nilas, Arising
And in typical interned fashion, that required trying to go over everyone's head.
in this instance, it worked.
Nilas, Arising
Right, BBR.

How do the forums all work, and what role do they play. I've never been on a forum before.
Nilas
Post self-deleted by Bonnie Blue Republic.
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.
Bonnie Blue Republic
Thank you very much

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
Unike
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 :)
United Alliance Of Alexandria
Governments have ignored referendums in regards to the EU before, this is an issue
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.
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%.
Sharlin
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.
Well I see the only real solution to the migrant crisis is Mass Genocide
The American Imperialists, Texas And Alberta
Are you sure about that? I'm all for immigration reform but we don't have to go that far.
Sharlin, Texas And Alberta
I think he was joking
Texas And Alberta
Well, I did it. I completely destroyed the environment. It's almost inhospitable at this point.
It'll be fine though. I'll work on it.

I'm taking apart my computer for transport, probably won't be on for a couple days. Moving to Tennessee.

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.
Unike, Sharlin
So strange... we have nothing to vote on WA... I have never seen this...maybe just because I'm a noob
Nilas
Yeah, that just means all of the current WA articles are still in the authoring/confirmation phase. Us non-region-delegates have to wait to vote on them.
Nilas, Sharlin
There's an edit feature now! Neat!
Tieopia, Unike, Tulov, Vernic, Bonnie Blue Republic, Isollis, Sharlin
My nation now has a statistic for suicides in police custody. Might have to reign it in a little lol.
Brokemia, Nilas, Sharlin
Maybe a little... I still have healthcare so terrible that citizens die of preventable issues more than natural causes. Send help!
Brokemia, Bonnie Blue Republic
That's nothing! My leading cause of death is Disappearance, with Ritual Sacrifice and Work also playing a big part.
Nilas, Sharlin
Almost everyone in my country dies of cancer.
Nilas
Huh, my leading cause of death appears to be old age.
By the way, Yarn Fest is starting soon! I'm sorry it took so long to prepare, but I have been trying to sort things out irl. I will inform you when it actually starts.
Bungee Jumping kills 0.3% of my population...
Nilas
Whats Yarn Fest?
Brokemia, Nilas
On top of that, the average lifespan of my citizens is 36.16 years, despite having an extremely high Scientific Advancement rating. Clearly, I'm using my science for very non-medical things.
Archuria Centauri, Nilas
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.
Brokemia
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...
I had that a while back. Last I checked, it disappeared.
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...

Congrats on your new position bonnie
Bonnie Blue Republic
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.
Sincerely,
United Alliance Of Alexandria

Hello Land's End! I would like to announce our space program is now open for enrollment! I hope to see you all there.
Mercantana, Nilas
What is this new theme all about. Even the regional positions have been changed? Can someone please inform me what happened?
Nilas
The LEASA happened! I think it will be a great opportunity for the residents.
Nilas
Space Elephants have arrived. ( https://i.imgur.com/G7zH3Jt.png )
Reports state that they number no less than 400. Prepare for.... Whatever it is that Space Elephants do. I fear there will be a lot of unnecessary explosions.
Is another one of the crazy movements, like the anarchy thing that happened when I first came here? Also, what do all the new position names mean? Is the structure of the region changing?
Bow to your new Space Elephant overlords.
Nilas
Woo! The Space Elephants will enjoy their time here I'm sure of it.
Is it? Hmmm...Maybe... Maybe not... Maybe we should ask the stars?
Nilas
Which star? Surely one of them must be chief among them?
The only obvious answer is all of them!
The Stars are really just gigantic futuristic reactors that have been created by Space Elephants to power their empire. You have all been bamboozled.
Nilas
But pandas eat bamboo. Should we worship the space pandas?
Nilas, Tulov
Space pandas, you say?! Hi-ho, new idea!
Nilas
I think you just gave Tulov an idea... This could be beautiful or bad.
Tulov
Hell yes. Didn't watch all that sci-fi for nothin. Get a job they tell me. Pff.
Nilas
Pandas are technically bears so I'm happy about this.
Nilas
You have a great knowledge on sci-fi? Great! We can go ahead and launch you into space.
The Long Lost Allies of the Space Elephants are here.
Behold, the Space Pands: https://i.imgur.com/Djzl8jf.png
And tremble with fear!
