Region: Social Technocratic Union
That's great xD I like all carrots <3
Great! That is good to hear! And that also sounds good, we look forward to chatting with you!
Monshio
I have joined
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
Woohoo!! Welcome to the dark side, we have co-kitties!
Technocratic Founder, Monshio
Man I'm gonna have to think about this one for a while...
Uncuteatoo
I'm gonna say celery, because it's underrated in stew so I fear if I don't say it nobody will.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
Wild boar. I'm loud, everywhere, and frequently result in problems for me and those around me XD
Uncuteatoo
Potato. They're nothing special, but they're alright. So I'mma pick potato.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
Glory to the mighty potato!
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
What was NationStates 2 like? Did it suck?
Monshio
Its real you probably didn't hear about it because it shut down.
By most accounts I've heard... bad. I wasn't around at the time though.
Celery is great. You bring lots of flavouring xD I feel like with that sentence I've suddenly become a tarot card reader XD
Lmfao. You bring a lot of fun and enjoyment you mean ;p
Potatoes are a great ingredient. They go with everything ;p and I haven't met anyone who doesn't like spuds xD
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder
Mushroom(s), and no not "mushrooms." Certain types, when saut馥d nicely, can imitate meat. They're not bad and won't kill you (except for the wild ones that seem funny).
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Lemme guess, you're the funny wild one? XD
Hardly.
Uncuteatoo
Okay, so you're the nice quiet type who go well with lots of things? XD
I'd say that.
Uncuteatoo
I'm getting good at this. I should make a buzzfeed quiz
Would you folks like to vote in my election?
I want more interesting results.
Ceterra
Like... elections inside your nation?
Rosmana
What kind of elections to be specific?
Rosmana
Yes, my senate, its in my factbook. :)
Sorry if that was not clear.
Technocratic Founder, Ceterra
I'll give it a read at some point
Rosmana
Sure, I知 interested in what you have 😅
Rosmana
The Tarkana Party.
(Right Wing Authoritarian-Greycoats)
50/150 seats in the senate.
The Sagradan Party:
(Centrist, mostly Catholic Liberals)
30/150 seats in the senate.
Crimson Dawn.
(Leftist Moderates)
70/150 seats in the senate.
Liberty Party.
(Right wing Liberals)
new
Federalist party.
(Right Wing Nationalism)
new
None of those sound like parties I'd vote for though :(
Rosmana
Really? Ok.
I have center, right, and left wing so....
Antarctic Sarnz
Moderate Left parties are not left enough lol. But they'd be the most likely to get my vote If I had to.
Technocratic Founder, Rosmana, Ceterra
Ohhhhh, well, I can fix that, what did you have in mind? LOL
Antarctic Sarnz
You don't have to change anything. I just like welfare states, UBI, economic regulation, high taxes, government owned institutions.
That kinda jazz.
Technocratic Founder, Rosmana
Ahhh, okidoki.
Yeah I'm pretty much gonna echo Momus on this. Glory to the socialism :P
Antarctic Sarnz
Is my lefyist party not Socialist enough?
I mean what do you want? Syndicalism?
Well tbh there's absolutely no way of telling whether it is or not, as you've only got pretty vague descriptions up. But "left wing moderate" doesn't inspire much confidence, no. It implies a very centrist party, which combined with the other parties in your thing being universally right wing, implies a normal standard which sits quite far right of centre on an international scale.
Rosmana
Oh, well, ok, That makes sense.
Just a sec.

Antarctic Sarnz
Hey cool. So now the fringe of the left is populated, it seems like there is a wider window of acceptable discourse, hmm? if you wanna get really in depth I'm sure you could write up how your voting system works, how the seats are apportioned, manifestos for all the parties and all that jazz. But for now, my vote would likely go to CD or the WP. Might wanna edit the name for CD too, as it sounds pretty radical when the party itself is not.
Rosmana
I might do that, but dividing the seats is a simple question of a majority vote I would say.
We are not the USA after all.
Technocratic Founder
So proportional representation? I'd be more encouraged to vote along actual ideological lines, in that case, rather than pragmatism.
Rosmana
That is the point. :)
You should vote for actual ideological lines, its an election, not a soccer game.
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder
Unfortunately, the political system I am used to IRL demands pragmatism from its people
Rosmana
I updated by factbook.
Its not great but I am still proud of it.
In short:
Rosmana Independent News:
Elections are postponed until Saturday, and the 3 major political parties are campaigning, as well as a few new ones, including the Federalist party, that seeks more unity through law and order and the liberty party, that seeks to deregulate the banks to stimulate the economy, and the Workers Party, which aims to dismantle the capitalist state.
Wallachinstein
Ah, well, not in Rosmana. LOL
And for the record, this election WILL determine the future of my country. (AS well as my own political identity)
Not a Socialist here, as I do stand in the Syncretism (Mixed in left and right, and in a centre position as a Technocrat.) Unfortunately, none of them suits my tastes ;P
I quite like Syndicalism actually
Antarctic Sarnz
Meh, depends, some tend to be rather hostile.
the senate
I am the sanate.
Ceterra
I am the Technocratic Council! ...and United Angeer, and Uncuteatoo, and Altino...
Antarctic Sarnz, Uncuteatoo
Its treason than.... *ignites lightsaber*
Just kidding, Star WArs reference.

Election result estimates for the Senate so far are in, with 85% of votes counted:
The Tarkana Party. 59 seats. +9
The Sagradan Party: 31 seats.+1
Crimson Dawn. 46 seats. -24
Liberty Party. 4 Seats. new
Federalist party. 9 Seats. new
The Workers Party: 21 Seats, new
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Wallachinstein, Awessla, Ceterra, Deac De Mon
Breaking News:
The election results for the Senate are still being counted, but Brent Stockwall of the Liberty Party has already published allegations implicating the government in cases of fraud, and they are accusing the Neopagan community and the Workers Party of manipulating the election.
So far no foreign government or any of the other parties have issued any statement.
Transhumanity Ascended, Wallachinstein, Ceterra, Sabalonia, Deac De Mon
Can someone explain me the senate principle
The joke about the senate thing is a reference from Star Wars, while Rosmana's post is about the seats in their own nation's RP senate thingy. I have no idea how they divvied them up, exactly. Meanwhile, none of this has any bearing on the regional government itself.
Antarctic Sarnz, Rosmana, Ceterra

The final election results for the Senate are in,
The Tarkana Party. 59 seats. +9
The Sagradan Party: 31 seats.+1
Crimson Dawn. 46 seats. -24
Liberty Party. 7 Seats. new
Federalist party. 9 Seats. new
The Workers Party: 18 Seats, new
Wallachinstein, Ceterra
With the elections over it is now up to the Tarkana Party to form a coalition, but which parties have the necessary 85 seats to form a majority government?, because the Sagradan Party and the Workers Party have already stated they will not work with the authoritarian Tarkana Party.
OOC: Suggestions?
Seems like you've got a classic situation for a minority government. I'd expect the Tarkana party to form a minority coalition with the federalists, but the others don't seem like they have enough in common to actually form a coalition. If a minority government isn't possible, and if individual senators control their own seats, and can change party affiliation, the best strategy would be for the Tarkana Party and the Federalists to try to nab some Sagradan party senators who lean more conservative, and maybe even try to absorb the Crimson Dawn to a large extent, on the premise that their serious drop in national support shows which way the wind is blowing.
Antarctic Sarnz, Technocratic Founder, Rosmana, Ceterra, Deac De Mon
A minority government will probably be an option, but they are still debating AKA I am not sure yet.
And the Liberty Party wants a recount.
We support a government that includes the workers party!
Technocratic Founder, Rosmana
Worker's party in government or a general strike!
Awessla, Rosmana, Sabalonia
That is the idea.
But not yet.
Technocratic Founder
The revolution is here! Power to the people!
Technocratic Founder, Awessla, Rosmana
Today talks have begun to form a minority government between The Tarkana Party, the Liberty Party and the Federalist part, as the Workers Party are trying to get a counter majority by working together with Crimson Dawn, and leftist members of the Sagradan Party.
Tensions are high, but so far there have been no acts of violence.
Sabalonia
Rumours about a new defence deal with Rosmana, if a workers party led government comes to power, came out of the Legislative Assembly today. Critics say....well....nothing. They're all dead. But loyal citizens believe this could pave the way for a new patnership in the region.
Too ideological in my taste, most viable option is giving out a minority government led of sorts really. Maybe include the Federalist Party and the Liberty party in forming as a coalition, and give a go in how they would致e played out.
Rosmana
Man I honestly wish Ros could figure out discord so I could keep the RP stuff all in one place...
Uncuteatoo
Tell that to that crummy page.
I would just keep things on NS, its how things where when I started NS.
We could try set out a forum for these stuff but too much effort yes? 😂 I suggest, we could use a format in doing it through here but with spoilers
Rosmana
Hi guys I知 new
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Rosmana

Hello I'm new as well :)
Uncuteatoo, Lenin Democratic State
Heyyyyy I'm new:) is there a discord server or anything of that matter I could join?
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Lenin Democratic State
I know that you found it, but here's the link for anyone looking. It's also on our world factbook entry.
https://discord.gg/kmYgpAJ
Uncuteatoo
hello, i'm new.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
Good Morning! Or evening! Or whatever your nation is experiencing right now. Where can I find the nation constitution again? It was unclear from the telegram.
Uncuteatoo
Am new as well. Hope everyone's doing alright in these troubling times.
Uncuteatoo, Rosmana
The region's constitution is pinned to the World Factbook Entry, but here's the link to the dispatch for your convenience.

Thank you. It is plusgood.
Uncuteatoo
Hello, my most sincere gratitude for allowing me to join this wonder of a region.
I am glad to join. Please bear with my slight incompetence.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Rosmana
I was completely wasted when I wrote it but it has been pretty damn functional so far, so yeah, it's not bad.
Ah don't worry, we all had to start somewhere.
Rosmana, Deac De Mon, Sierheim
hello im knew
Technocratic Founder
Welcome to NationStates, and to the region!
Greetings,
we, the government of Pax Scio have recently come to the decision to join the glorious Social Technocratic Union and saw it as our responsibility to issue this notice of joining.
In addition to this, we would like to thank our Director for giving us this opportunity, eventhough we will not be able to parttake in the elections, due to our reluctance to join Discord.
The government of Pax Scio
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo
It's a shame to hear that you're reluctant to join discord - most of NS' activity in any region will take place on discord. Oh well, it's nice to have you here all the same :)

A couple of people have submitted nation claims so I'll be putting those on in relatively short order. Did you have a specific reason for asking?
Welcome to all the new peoples.
Technocratic Founder, Uncuteatoo, Ceterra
Welcome new people! We hope you enjoy your stay xD If you can't join the discord that's all good but we'd love to have you there if you do ^-^ I hope you're all well!
