Aw why would you wanna leave us? That's what creating a new region would do :(
I'm glad to see you're both interested in regional government jobs. As Lagerus said, please join the discord to discuss such things. I'd want to get to know you both a bit better as people/players first, but there's certainly room for the employment of more people with the right skills.
Is this the discord group?
Yes it is

Indeed it is
Hello xD
Welcome to STU! xD
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=miliack
My alt account Miliack. It's an experiment of mine, so I won't involve it in anything important here
Have fun with your experimentation! What're your objectives?
To see how easy it is to swap your classification mostly. measuring how much issues can change your freedom levels
I technically believe that all those all make democracy terrible
Technocratic Founder, Newvespucci
So do I, lol. The question is which one of them is most impactful for you.
All of them in real life
Technocratic Founder
I regularly make clones, conduct genetic experiments, and have an advanced anti biological warfare program, but my country hasn't figured out widespread manufacturing
Apparently economic freedom goes up when the government researches and manufactures food products
What should be our next research goal for the STU? We've learned how to make diamond water and diamond oatmeal, but I think science can bring us more diamond sources food and drink
What about a multi colored diamond prismatic beacon from nothing about the fact that I stole a idea from a
sandbox game called "cave game"...
Antarctic Sarnz
Ah yes. Haste 5 would be very useful
Oh heck. Apparently I have one the world's smallest black markets
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Anyone willing to offer their services in creating me a flag?
Antarctic Sarnz
Depends how complex you are wanting
Ynerla
Uh I'd like it relatively simple. Let me see first if I can make it. If I can't I'll post the parameters.
I'm Lerasi, just to clear that up.
Antarctic Sarnz
Welcome to the region :P How’ve you been?
Ynerla
Good hbu?
Antarctic Sarnz
I've been pretty good too as always. You made that flag pretty quick.
Ynerla
I used an old Lerasian flag as a base. Just had to remove some red lines and add the blue, then crop it.
Edit: Popping over to Aivintis account, so won't check this for a bit, but I'm on Discord as "Lerasi (Ynerla)"

Despite not being an ancom nation, my flag is inspired by the ancom flag
Hello everyone! I hope you all have a great day!
My first flag iterations were a bit of a piss take in regards to the ancom flag.
Aww I hope you do too :)
Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
I tried the antech flag but it didnt look as good. I want a red and blue flag (representing socialism and technology)
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Ynerla
My first flag was a combination of the PRC and ROC.
Ynerla
Sounds... interesting
It wasn’t :)
This reminds me that I need to create myself a flag. Anyone got any ideas for something Uncute-inspired?
Antarctic Sarnz
No more reverse Thailand flag?
Nah, I wanna special flag xD like my Uncute one :3
Antarctic Sarnz
[I]:^D[/I]
Antarctic Sarnz
That's what I tried but it looked too dutch/french so I just did blue. And then the blue was too thick so I thinned the lines. Anyway, the factory and gear represent socialism for me.
Lagerus
Any ideas for a red and blue flag design that looks decent? I don't want any crests
Ynerla
How about this?
A flag you and Dreamer haven't seen, or stolen ;D
Ynerla
Oh you're on to something
Ynerla
Yet.
What parts do you like and what parts do you dislike? I tried a tricolor but idk it didn't seem right. If you want me to show you it, I will. Ultimately it's your flag.
okay here is an idea
Ynerla
your idea was a good one, but I like symmetrical flags and I wanted the red a bit more prominent. also you are right, I dont think tricolor would work
Ynerla
I think the red is a bit too much with this one though
Ynerla
It's not bad. Maybe the background colours are too dark? They're a bit hard to tell apart, but that could just be my brightness settings.
Ynerla
Maybe red background with blue outlining or something? I'm not an expert in this.
I'll think about possible designs today
Ynerla
I tried to come up with something, but didn't work. Sorry.
Ynerla
I'm thinking of redesigning my flag, hard to rally people over the great HDMI cable.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Ah, but what a cable it is. Truly inspiring, noble... some would even say it is the ultimate symbol of virtue and peace in our trying times.
Ynerla
We might upgrade to a USB-C, the true peace in our time is when you can put a USB in any direction!
Technocratic Founder, The Grob, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Oh, you guys still use cables? We're already upgraded to wireless USBs.
And, well, besides that... I suppose that we should introduce ourselves to the Union.
We are the Grox- the intellectual citizens of the Technocracy of the Grox, a mighty Empire that has lasted longer than any of these nations here combined. It has been... lonely thus far so finding hope in discovering intellectuals like us intrigued our Overseer enough to come and join this region.
Down with religion, up with scientism!
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
agreed comrade, but not in a extreme way
The Grob, Ynerla
Oh no, I think you mean just agreed. The only way to eliminate the threat of conservatism and failure is to eliminate the very thing which plagues us and supports moronic traditions - religion.
Technocratic Founder, Ynerla
Welcome xD
Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
What's everyone been up to today? ^-^
Antarctic Sarnz, Ynerla
Destroying the nearby Theocracy next door.
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Citalli, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
yeet
Ynerla
I made Jurassic Park and made all vehicals electric today
Ynerla
A contradictory mess of environmentalism and spending the entire GDP on weird scientific experiments :P
Ynerla
No the dinosaurs were already there, I just made a park
Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Maybe the dinosaurs are electric?
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Robot dinos?
Ynerla
Sounds both dangerous and unnecessarily resource-intensive :D
Ynerla
Technocratic Founder, Ynerla
Glory to Aristotzka! All heil our Glorius rightful leader.
Technost, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Ree :D
Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
it can be quite confusing once you understand my point of view, however, I still agree
Ynerla
long live the freedom of the people and the light of technocracy
Uncuteatoo, Lagerus, Ynerla
And the robot dinosaurs!
Antarctic Sarnz, Lagerus, Ynerla
Yeah don't forget them.
Uncuteatoo
You guys have robot dinosaurs?
Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Sadly no
Ynerla
I have regular dinosaurs though
Ynerla
Hello everyone, and happy International Women's Day! (providing it's the 8th when you read this :P)
International Women’s Day is a United Nations-sanctioned global holiday. It celebrates women’s contributions to society, raises awareness about the fight for gender parity, and inspires support for organisations that help women globally.
In honour of the occasion, and to mark the struggles women have faced, still face, and are still yet to face, we in the STU thought it'd be a good idea to celebrate and reflect on women in history and society. I'd like to invite everyone to talk about a woman or group of women, who have inspired them, or have perhaps had a major impact on mankind. Whatever you guys feel like. If you feel in need of some inspiration, or perhaps just want to learn about more women who've played a prominent role, Uncuteatoo suggested taking a look at this list:
https://www.historyextra.com/100-women/100-women-results/
I would also like to invite us all to remember the women who did not make the history books, the women who suffered through an oppressive existence and perhaps only touched those immediately around them, yet did so defiantly and in the face of those who said they were less worthy of anything. The average person throughout history has, of course, not been famous or world changing. They have existed in the social conditions they were born into, unable to shake the chains of the system. This must act as a reminder to us that government must always be run in consideration of the needs and well-being of all its people, and that we as people should always strive to help improve the world for not just ourselves, but also those who cannot necessarily strive themselves.
For one of my personal choices, I'd like to talk about Empress Theodora of Byzantium. While a royal, and thus obviously afforded advantages the common 6th century woman could only dream of, she was from a humble background, rising to power alongside her equally legendary husband, Justinian. Theodora was a vital part of the Byzantine imperial administration, providing a level of support to her husband almost unparalleled in the age. She shared in the plotting, the strategising, and administration of the empire, she held her own court, and was able to exercise an enormous amount of power and influence over the empire independent of her husband's power. When Justinian fell ill with plague, it seems very likely that it was her force of will that kept the empire running. Theodora, having been elevated from an actress and a sex worker to Empress of the resurgent Roman Empire, can be said to embody a certain kind of technocratic drive, her competence as a leader shining through.
Antarctic Sarnz, Manaris, Pead Lan, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla, Awessla
I'd like to talk about Marlene Dietrich, a German-born actress/singer, who won the Medal of Freedom for her participation in the second world war, she had become American in 1939. She was also bisexual at a time it wasn't exactly accepted and all-around badass. She moved to France after her career ended, where she died at 90 years old.
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
Perhaps the most famous historical Kiwi woman is Kate Shepard. She was the most famous suffragette in the country and is featured on our $10 note. Her work, and the work of many others, throughout the 1880's and 90's made New Zealand the first country with universal suffrage. During 1893, after the successful pass of legislature granting woman their right to vote, the first female mayor was elected to Onehunga, the first woman to hold the position of mayor anywhere in the British Empire. It however took until 1919 for woman to have the chance to run for positions as Members of Parliament. Later Kate Shepard became the first President of the National Council of Women of New Zealand, an organisation that is still advocating for the rights and empowerment of woman.

Hello, new embassy people!

don't forget to join the cookie cult
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Vierslan, Uncuteatoo, Ynerla
noms cookies
Citalli, Ynerla
Super interesting! I've never heard of her so that is great.
Kiwi women are great!
COOKIES! *nibbles*
Antarctic Sarnz, Citalli, Ynerla
I am going to celebrate a singular woman. My sister. Because without her I probably wouldn't be here right now. Don't ever think that as one person you can't make a difference. Because you can. She may not have a major impact on mankind or an impact on anyone else I know but she was one of the people who helped me change my life.
She sounds pretty badass xD
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Ynerla
*Steals plate and mass produced it, also eats too many cinnamon cookies, he diese of what appears to be coronavirus: cookie origen
Uncuteatoo

And yeah, she does doesn't she?
Uncuteatoo

Uncuteatoo
Welcome! Things are going good xD Have you joined our discord? ^-^
Communist Rising Sun
Yes I have, chief

Of course we do o.o we also have dino nuggies, you can ask TTF about that >.>
Regular dinosaurs are great too :3
Hello
Uncuteatoo
I really like Green & Black's and Lind Excellence. Dark, of course.
Uncuteatoo
Hello!
My personal favourites are Cadbury's Darkmilk, Galaxy Bars and those Lindt chocolate balls.
Uncuteatoo, The Quantum Physicists
Côte d'Or is much better than Lindt, Lindt is too fatty
