Region: Social Technocratic Union
i hope we are all communists here
pats
That's a rather unrealistic hope in a region called the Social Technocratic Union, wouldn't you agree?
Let's try not to double post too, hmm? There's an edit button on RMB messages in case you need to go back and add/change something. Otherwise it looks a lot nicer to wait until someone else posts to post again.

Ooookay then... Enjoy doing nothing in an empty region and then CTEing in 28 days I guess!
What a strange guy
Thanks
I accidentally changed from liberal to centrist to conservative over the course of 5 issues
/shrug
It's early for your nation, issues change things more wildly. Maybe choose less right wing answers :P
Russtopa has some unrealistic expectations for a “New York Times Democracy,” don’t you think?

Is anyone else having issues getting Easter egg issues? I have had certain categories in my nation descriptions to match that of what should give me Easter egg issues...It's been multiple months and nothing yet.
I have no idea. I've been trying to get the coloured one but haven't really done enough to get it tbh

Hello Comrades is there going to be any Elections, If So i need someone to be my VP Nominee
And the Party im going to Socialist-Fascist-Democratic Party
Read the constitution to see how this region works. You'll find it here:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1303678
Fascism of any kind is explicitly not permitted in my region, or any other respectable place. I would very strongly advise you drop the memey idea and get involved in the community properly, learn the ropes, get to know people etc.
Edit: I'll double-down on the above advice given your history of random region hopping and asking to be elected leader. Settle in one place, get to know people, learn how the game works, and then maybe you'll be trusted with some level of power. This game isn't fun if you refuse to engage with places.

Hi everyone
I'm a new member and joined the social - technocratic union because I believe in the power of technocracy to propel society into the future. I also consider myself to be a centrist, because I hold leftist and rightist opinions/principles.
I still need to learn a lot about this game, so feel free to give me some handy advice!
Hope you all stay safe
Regards
Technocratic Founder, Wired Algorithm
I think the best advice I can give is that don't be afraid to dismiss issues you don't like. Also be careful about decisions which can make policies since it can take a lot of time if you want to revert that decision and they can screw you in the long run.
I'm still waiting for decisions which allows religion and gun control.... dammit.
Wired Algorithm, Hoarwell
I had once giving an AI control of the economy...accidental socialism!
Technocratic Founder, Wired Algorithm
you haven't gotten the guns one yet?
also, I'm currently trying to undo my Conscription law... the only place conscription is good is in HOI4
Technocratic Founder, Wired Algorithm
Hello and welcome! My advice is make sure that you join our discord server, so you can come and meet all of our great little community! The link is on the WFE above :)
Lol hard agree there. Conscription is just... shudders
Wired Algorithm

Also, let's try not to clutter the RMB with double-posts. You can use the edit button on posts to add more things you forgot :D

happy valentines day from your friends in Karma <3
Hope you're having a good time
Bolslania, Technocratic Founder
I've largely recovered from yesterday, which was a crapshow of vomiting and general malaise. So yes, as days go, this one is better :)

Hello, im new here. I dont exactly know why i joined here, but it seems very nice.
I will be joining the discord in a bit, and also i need to learn more about the game.
Technocratic Founder
Thanks for the advice! Will keep it in mind!
Hi, thanks! Will make sure to join the discord server soon!
Technocratic Founder
We'll be happy to tell you anything you wanna know!
Greetings from Gangan. I am a technocrat that believes in science and spirituality. I came upon these lands by mere chance! I was surfing for games like eu4 which focuses more on drama than numbers. Lo and behold! I stumbled upon this unusual page of the internet. I don't know how I should play this but hey, that is why I have come to you for aid. How do I engage in this region and have hella fun?
Bolslania, Antarctic Sarnz, Kharvilia
Well every week Uncuteatoo will post questions to the RMB, usually "what if" type stuff, the region has a Discord, which we often communicate on. Other than that just vibe my guy
Technocratic Founder, Kharvilia
raises eyebrows very high about the prospect of technocracy combined with any kind of superstitious delusion
Bolslania
Welcome, it is good to have you here.
Is the World assembly worth?
Definitely worth it from the perspective of the region. Your nation won't be impacted in any significant way, and you'll get to vote on stuff in it.
Please join and endorse The Vanguard Fleet. We're in the middle of a delegate transition, and the more endorsements our delegate has, the greater our power and prestige on the international stage.
Heyo there!

Hello and welcome to the STU!
Alenshire
Hiya!
Alenshire
I’m excited for my residency here, I’m a lot less of a socialist country than most but technological advances are a specialty in the nation. Similar to Mr Houses free economic zone in Fallout new Vegas.
Glad to have you! Although, ew libertarian capitalism.
Alenshire, Bolslania
At least the technocratic part is there...
Imperium Of Josh, Alenshire, Bolslania
Lol true
G'day
Yes
I'm also excited!
Hey I don’t know how to look at my tech
Define "look at your tech"? If you mean the scientific advancement stat, the link is this: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=drewstible/detail=trend?censusid=70
Hey so my economy is now all-consuming!
Imperium Of Josh, Bolslania
frightens all-consuming economy with own power
Also I cancelled conscription!
Technocratic Founder
Whoop whoop! Freedom!
Bolslania
*Looks around guiltily in mandatory conscription*

Hisses at :P
Bolslania
Should we repeal N. Borland's commendation?
Seems like it was just some weird issue-answerer's commendation anyway, rather than being for anything actually impactful. Go for it, vote yes.
New Slonia
Same ... :/
Bolslania, Technocratic Founder
Yeah, I'm guilty of that too :D
Technocratic Founder
I have accidentally become a autocracy. Great
Technocratic Founder
All glory to the state? :P
Hello All!
I am excited to be a part of the Social Technocratic Union!
Though my flag may look a bit threatening I promise that I'm not that bad. Ill try to give my citizens more freedom and improve their lives. I'm still really militaristic and have a good chunk in my defense budget.
Excited to see where we go together.
Legoni Founder
Bolslania, Maschinenbau
Does anyone know how to make drop down information + images for the factbook?
Enjoy your stay.
And don't worry about freedom that much, half of us have horrifying levels of free speech :D
Bolslania, Neanian
I’ve been trying to get mine up but I just extended term limits so it lowered.
Bolslania, Neanian
Term limits suck, and are pretty anti-technocratic. Imagine having the option to be ruled by the best possible person, but having some arbitrary nonsense like a term limit saying "nope, you gotta settle for something else." It's stupid.
Kharvilia, Neanian
I have term limits to prevent the very old from leading, in my mind the older you get the more unfit you are to rule
Neanian
well if they are unfit then they would get voted out
Bolslania, Neanian
Ew voting. Also anti-technocratic.
Bolslania, Neanian
Hey, I’m all for free elections as long as they’re in my favor!
Bolslania, Neanian
Hello
Hello and welcome to the region.
Well I don't like to rely on the will of the people for this sort of thing. They'll elect who they want to elect, even if the person their electing is some dementia-ridden fossil of a human.
Technocratic Founder, New Slonia
Hello
Bolslania
Hey there
I turned from a heavily agricultural based economy to a heavily advanced and industrialised based economy.

What are everyone's views on Democracy? (apart from voting)
Not positive...
The implied idea of democracy is that everyone's opinion is equal (with the one person, one vote doctrine). That's obviously... not reflected by reality, and ends up equating those who are well educated and well versed in politics with those who are dumb enough to genuinely believe stuff like "oh all the parties are the same anyway." So instead of rationally thought out worldviews being translated into government, you end up with random impulses, and usually tribalistic and illogical ones at that.
Democracy also generates the problem of that lot believing expertise is just another opinion, and not valuing it and deferring to it in a healthy way... i.e. stupid things like Brexit get voted for against all sensible advice by a majority who could only possibly lose out as a result.
Beyond even that, it generates short-sighted governance, as those elected only care about the span of time they're elected for, and playing up for potential re-election at whatever designated interval happens to exist.
Kharvilia
Meh.
I want to like it, but an excellent argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter.
Imperium Of Josh
Yeah i agree with both of you. Democracy fails because peoples votes are counted as one and even the most powerful person in the state has limited control over people and their decisions.
The average person would often not take there candidate into consideration and if the sides are nearly even, it can cause a split in the country and then in turn deteriorating the state. But like Kennedy said "Democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us." Communists and National Socialists are much worse.
Does the Delegate control raiding other nations and countries or does the director?
And also, how does it work?
not necessarily...there's plenty of ways that some democracy can be implemented to avoid power abuse. I could give some examples if you care enough to listen.
edit: I say SOME democracy because I recognize the massive flaws with traditional democracy as stated above
In moderation, good, but libertarianism is yucky
Technocratic Founder
Also thx for the endorsement @Apellidor!

Hello people of STU, I am new to the region .-.
Technocratic Founder
I believe democracy can work as long as the people are well educated and are informed and know about voting and how their vote affects the nation.
Hello There
The delegate has no independent political power in the STU. It also couldn't control raiding.
Raiding works by using the game's WA mechanics to seize control of delegacies in other regions. The game checks who has the most endorsements every 12 hours, so peeps move in seconds before each update. The STU is not a viable raid target for anyone, because I'm an active founder and the delegate role has no permissions.
Neanian
So i have gotten this in my nation overview it but as far as i know i don't have a black market like at all. Holy Darchy Senlowau is ranked 187,031st in the world and 80th in Social Technocratic Union for Largest Black Market, with 37.8 billion Standard Monetary Units.
wth i just banned an aluminum mine and my weather went down

NS is like that sometimes
It truly is a weird and arbitrary statistics system...
Bolslania
[B]Hello STU! How is everyone? Long time no see. I've been a little indisposed. Tell me what your favourite type of tea is! I've been drinking tea allllll morning.
Also a little reminder for those of you within the WA, when you receive endorsements from other WA people in our region it's a great idea to endorse them back! This way everyone can cash in o.o So please make sure you're endorsing all of our great WA people! Most importantly our Delegate, and our Games Dude who will be taking over as Delegate! So hop to it!

Hmm my favourite tea would be green tea, or pearl milk tea.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Wired Algorithm, Istil
Earl Grey!
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo, Wired Algorithm
I like these too. I don't actually think I have a favourite. I drink all the teas lol
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Wired Algorithm
I don't usually drink tea, when it comes to boba I prefer sweetened milk and coffee is what powers my internals... but green tea can be a nice change of pace on occasion.
Uncuteatoo, Wired Algorithm
I'll drink tea when offered, but I rarely order or make it. I got a bag of longjing green tea from the Hangzhou area in China, it's pretty good.
Uncuteatoo, Wired Algorithm
Ginger tea.
