Region: Lands End
New flag :D

*carpet bombs Clarkentrent begins land invasion,nukes them,assassinates key political figures,fights blockade*
Alexandra Neff
*sends land troops, burns cities across the country of Atkemri to the ground, and afterwards bombing the entire country, nukes whatever hasn't been nuked yet, also assassinates key political figures, continues the blockade on ports, but begins to also fire upon the ports with the navy, murders the leader of Atkemri, decimates the nation of Atkemri, takes whatever soldiers have survived into POW camps, allows surviving citizens to live, and feeds both the surviving soldiers of Atkemri and the surviving citizens of Atkemri only with pizza that has pineapple on top.*
*destroys planet Earth,All Atkemrians are in space in advanced spaceships,all pineapples are destroyed, while good pizza lives on*
Jokes on you, Clarkentrent recently discovered a planet exactly like earth in almost every way, and took our also advanced space ships to set up a new Clarkentrent only world, and after dropping off our civilian population we take our space ships and fire off all of the surviving Atkemri citizens and soldiers we still hold captive into space, directly in front of your fleet of space ships so that you all may watch your countrymen suffocate. Also, *fires missiles from our far superior ship at your fleet of space ships, destroying each one, killing every last individual Atkemri citizen, leaving only Clarkentrent on our planet to live on our planet peacefully with the protection of our ~space army ships~*
Well it turns out that the real populous of Atkemri had been moved to a diffrent dimension and we destroy this dimension and everything in it.
"Turns out" In actuality you hallucinated destroying this dimension, and instead flew the only surviving Atkemris into a blackhole, convinced it was "another dimension", instead killing the last remaining Atkemris.
You then turn around and see that this is the Canadian dimension which is full of snow, polite aliens, and most importantly; pineapple on pizza
Xadrya
Is pineapple on pizza popular in Canada? I've never heard that.. lol but I get the other ones
I have not finished going through everyone.. I will complete this tomorrow.. lol checking 200 different nations and TGing them accordingly is time consuming and energy draining.
I saw on PolandBall that Hawaiian pizza was created in Canada, and time.com confirms
Xadrya
Or was it all a dream? Were we ever at war? Or was it all a figment of our imaginations?
Lets go with that. I can't do this anymore.
What would you do if elected to the position(s) you're running for?
This is something I have noticed in this election. Two of the offices only have one candidate, and I have not seen any actual campaigning aside from my own. Either this is a lazy election, or nations should be given more time to prepare for the next one. This elections feels a bit short-notice, since it came right after Z-day. In the future, I think we need to give nations a few weeks heads up, just like the last election.

I want to be able to help this region grow in terms of advertising. Since my arrival, I have invited friends to join in to this region, and I hope to be able to advertise for this region on a larger scale. I like what this region stands for and hope to be able to contribute positively. I would also want to implement events to allow for nations in this region to cooperate and stay engaged. The key is retention and community. I hope I can earn your vote. Thank you.
Torranta, Ursopia
Yes we need a huge United Nations!
Please do not double-post.
Well, first of all, I want to increase the number of shareholders. As of writing this, we have only 42 shareholders compared to the 202 countries apart of Lands End. Being a shareholder allows a nation to take part in the elections and have a say in who is given power, even a small amount of it. Not only that, but being a shareholder gives a nation the power to propose bylaws. I believe that this is due to the fact that the shareholder status, how easy it is to obtain, and the ability to have a role in the governing of Lands End it gives, is rarely made aware to newly joined nations outside of the information center. If elected CRO, I would do my best to let newly joined countries know about the shareholder status and make them aware of the information center as apart of a welcome message, as well as encourage other countries to make it apart of their welcome message to these new nations also. Along with this, I would encourage nations who haven't already to become shareholders. As I mentioned earlier, we have 202 countries in our region. It is nothing to sneeze at, although, I think that we can do better. Lands End is a remarkably accepting, yet structured region. It has a political process that nations are free to take part in, yet it is in no way a requirement. These qualities are very appealing to newly created countries. I want to follow United Alliance Of Alexandria's example, and continue to encourage region-wide recruitment participation, such as with their efforts with the Recruitment Competition. As CRO, and with the entire regions help in recruiting new nations, I believe we can greatly improve the influence of Lands End on the global playing field. I hope I will have your support.
(*Note, this message may end up in a campaign telegram, in case this message get's buried. Also because it's an election, might as well act like it.*)
Torranta
Hello.
Hello :)
How am I and when do I run for a certain role?
You are good and I have no clue. How am I?
The elections are currently in motion, so I'm not sure you can run for a position right now. You'd have to wait for the next election to run for one of those positions, but there are a couple positions available in the Senior Management section of this dispatch. You could apply for VP-PR or VP-A. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=874596

Class is boring right now.
Torranta
Same, just had an hour and a half of English (bleh), and now I have an hour and a half of study hall (bleh), followed by an hour and a half of Spanish (bleh). The highlight of the day is an hour and a half of World Civ (not bleh)
Xadrya
Now i'm in Geography. BLEH.
World History and Civilizations

Same. Any class that does history, I like.

I request everyone answer the poll. I want try for at least 20% of the region in 3 days. As I will be closing it probably Thursday I need people to get in their answers. I want to see a higher count then last time
If anyone didn't already know Nation States has a mobile app you can use when you are out on the road or something, it's useful.
What do you look up on the store to find it?
It has been brought to my attention that my campaign telegram to the shareholders looks like a wall of text, and I agree. I meant to put spaces in after writing to touch it up, but I must've forgotten. I'll try to make my telegrams more bearable in the future.
Woops
Sharlin
Stately
That was said of my campaign for CTO in the last election. I did put indentations in it and made lettered points, but each individual point was so long that each point was a wall of text by itself.
Sharlin, Clarkentrent
It's okay to be white 👍
-people attack this phrase, a sentiment to the appalling level of identity politics that have taken over the US of A
Unike, Dragonslinding Wa Mission, Torranta, Modern Israel
No, Whitey must die
Xadrya
Can't stand identity politics. If only people could think for themselves and stop following the herd...
Modern Israel
I was joking lol
I still don't really understand the "it's ok to be white" things because I saw the title of an article about it and decided that most likely I would be a happier person if I just avoided it.
Ursopia
I am aware of that lol. I am not white, but I think there is nothing wrong in being white. People should be judged on their character not the color of their skin. Shame on the left for their outstanding racism!
Nilas, Unike, Torranta, The American Imperialists, Sharlin, Clarkentrent, Modern Israel
Its infuriating to see the hypocrisy of many people in the left (not all, mind you). They often times try to take the moral high ground, but too often exemplify the exact same ideals that they claim to hate. For example, the way they seem to hate white people in favor of black people in the name of ending racism, as they call it.
Nilas, Dragonslinding Wa Mission, Bluximburg, Modern Israel
Its reverse racism. Look at what is happening in South Africa today. Whites are being slaughtered and no one cares.
Nilas, Torranta, Xadrya, Modern Israel
I would argue that reverse racism does not exist. What is called reverse racism is just racism. It is a two way street, and I don't care what the libtards say.

Nilas, Modern Israel
I think it is a matter of terminology. I agree with you.
Nilas, Torranta
I feel that its a bit ironic that most of this board attacked generalizing statements (identity politics) then proceeded to make them. Im a leftist, and I believe it is possible to be racist towards a white person (Im Hispanic-white myself.) Yet Im seeing some fellow board members saying universities and liberals as a whole disagree with this stance. As a leftist who believes in this and has visited colleges that believe in so-called reverse racism, I do not believe that is true.
Xadrya
Unfortunately, plenty of people get pulled into this argument, who were never involved in the first place, let alone the problem. Honestly, nobody is complaining about you. When people refer to the left or liberals, they are referring to their public figures and elected officials, rather than the individuals. Honestly, being an neutral third party, (Libertatian) the topics being discussed are reasonable. These are genuine concerns, even if some of the groups of people they described were overgeneralized.

I usually only spend about 45 minutes on NS.
However, I'm on Discord for probably 5 hours on an average day...
Sharlin, Xadrya
I personally think that the problem in general is that people are obsessed with race. I don't view America as "this percent white, this percent black, this percent asian, and this percent native american". I've always viewed america as the great melting pot with NO racial majority. I see it as: there are Russians, Italians, Japanese, Indians, French, Native Americans, Jews, the Irish, ect.
Nilas, The American Imperialists, Xadrya, Clarkentrent
Jews is a group that believes in Judaism, so your incorrect!
You are partially correct, there are are also several distinctly Jewish ethnicities: Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi. they are all a part of the ancient semitic ethnic group which also includes: samaritans (800 of them left), Philistines (extinct) and Phoenicians (extinct). The existence of racially distinct Jewish DNA is how organizations such as ancestry.com can tell what percent Jewish you are just from your DNA.

Partially being the key word. It is an ethnic group who also believe the same religion. Depending on the context, it could be referring to religion or ethnicity.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that one of our tags is "anti-World Assembly" when we have 64 World Assembly Delegates in our region?
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
Post self-deleted by Xadrya.
Members, not Delegates. We have one delegate.
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Bluximburg
There have been proposals to repeal the World Assembly...
Nilas, Saint Gloria
As others have said, members not delegates. Regions only have one WA delegate.
And no. Often the best way to be pro-sovereignty in the WA is to be a member of the WA. Blocking legislation, weakening it from the inside.
After all which is harder to defeat legislatively speaking?
One guy with twenty different reasons to oppose something or twenty guys with twenty different reasons to oppose something.
Nilas, Saint Gloria, Torranta, Nordhpadhan, Xadrya, Clarkentrent, Bluximburg
I see your point
I support the WA
Ursopia
It would be interesting to see what would happen if a repeal of the world Assembly was passed.

Hail Torranta!
Nilas, Saint Gloria
Long live Torranta!
Xadrya, Koriter
I honestly think that it would be best if all pro-sovereignty nations just left the world assembly. However, since I know that many are in it to block legislation, I'm in it to back them up.
Nilas, Xadrya, Bluximburg
I like this region, and though I am pro WA, I will follow any commands from High Command.
Xadrya
Thank you, my subjects. May the grandmas in your nations make pies everlasting! (I'm instituting a pie tax)

I haven't been here long enough to be able to tell if there is a general decrease in chat participation but it certainly seems like it. I request that people utilize this here RMB. What's the point of sitting on your but all day answering Issues? Come on guys let's get some conversation, it only takes 20 seconds to lodge a message. I recognize that it's the Holidays this is just a statement for those that have the time
Modern Israel
Hate to sound rude, but maybe some of us have jobs?
Dragonslund, Clarkentrent
Hate to be nosey, but why are you working 'til 9?
Everybody is getting busy Xadrya. Plus the holidays are soon so people will most likely only get busier.

WA delegate of our Federal Council votes against to the freedom to save only the richest citizens of nations who do not invest the moneys of their citizens in medical care.
If your nation would not invest the taxes of your people to proper resources, technology, training and expertise, therefore it is a political choise that your citizens support. If your nation spends the taxes of your citizens in weapons and nothing in medical tratments, I do not see why my Nation have to offer to your richest citizens our medical tratments.
In my Nation medical treatments are at disposal for all my citizens and it is not a commercial business. Our Federal Council would not offer a medical tratment as it were a commercial business to be paid by the richest citizens of you nation.
If the citizens of your nation want a better health system, they have to change the mind of their government or have to elect someone else who invest their moneys in other ways.
It is not an affair of my Nation who your citizens will vote.
It is not responsible to vote yes. Our Federal Council invites your representatives to vote against.

Typically there is a cycle to activity. Summers tend to be busier, being its hot and people like AC. When its nice out (spring/fall) it drops off. Minimum is around US thanksgiving-Xmas and just after new years it picks up again but not as busy as summer. Also most people either have jobs or school.
Personally I'm a stay at home dad who works part time at most and have been for years.
I have time, usually, but not during first or second periods.
AI's are people.
I think medical tourism is profitable, and I think people should be given the freedom to choose.
I vote according to my own beliefs
The next Board Terms gonna be boring then.
ok
Hello!
I am Basnawansa, a new nation in this region. My nation is currently capitalist and tends to lean toward social and economic freedoms. I look forward to becoming involved in Land's End!

Welcome! Glad to have you
Welcome! Almost any information about lands end can be found in the information center (including how to become a shareholder), which is found on the world factbook entry. Any thing it doesn't tell you you can ask about on the message board, and I'm sure someone will resolve it shortly.
Nilas, Torranta
Our Federal Councillors think that it is military disvantageous to help citizens of other Nations whose Governments invest their moneys for weaponization instead of for medical care, for science and for instruction.
Our Federation uses the taxes of our citizens to improve scientific and medical advancement. We have to protect our investments against who is irresponsible.
If there were any particular situation for which a Nation have no money to invest, therefore we can admit some help for a well defined period of time, but in this particular world where we live all the Nations have the same possibilities.
Xadrya, Bluximburg
I agree with you, but I'd just like to point out that most of this RMB is pretty OOC. You don't have to refer to yourself as "Our Federal Councillors" if you don't want.
