I'm too old to endotart. /grin

Good luck to both of the candidates; I enjoy talking to both of you, and you're both serious about your responsibilities. It won't be an easy choice.

I like talking about WA issues in the Discord channel; it's an uphill battle to get that going. Feel free to ask me to ramble on about WA proposals until someone answers me. Usually it's Nationific taking pity on me, but y'know, we'll talk.

On day one, I will get to work figuring out how much of what I want to do can be done in that channel, and I will make sure at least me and my VD share our thoughts about the proposal, and hopefully others will join in.

Festival of the Lights in Balsaam Kicks off With a Bang, Literally

The Festival of the Lights is one of Zentata's signature festivals, a time to celebrate light in all its forms, in particular light shows and elaborate and artistic fireworks displays, culminating in the grand show over Limmaar Bay. The festival is beloved among Zentatans, and is one of the main tourist attractions in the Balsaam Region. This year's festival in particular was greatly anticipated for the return of Den Breck, an experimental artist whose works were one of the most beautiful parts of the show, combining glass and light in a mesmerizing fashion until his abrupt departure for unknown reasons ten years ago.

However, on the day before the event a ship carrying fireworks exploded in the bay. It was apparently un-manned at the time, as a customs dispute had required the small crew to go ashore to the customs center before docking. When the crew was wrangling with the customs officials, the boat exploded, along with the fireworks. The noise was "surprisingly loud" as described by the captain, and according to one eyewitness the explosion was "the most impressive grande finale I've seen for a good decade". The explosion caused no injuries, although a few people reported having quite a shock from the sudden noise. The cause of the event is still under investigation, although it seems likely that a spark was created in some fashion, causing a destructive and immediate chain reaction.

The loss of the fireworks will not have any major impact on the festival, said Olene Rogers, the chair of events for the festival. The extra supplies should cover the shortage caused by the explosion, she added.

CLTV 1,The opposition is celebrating in Planton City, ruling in Layton

In today's election, the opposition Democratic Party won in Planton City, winning the largest number of seats in the city assembly as well as in several municipalities within the district.Opposition leader Elizabeth Hall called this the biggest victory in the previous 20 years, while some municipalities such as Paltrou, Palaman, Eastern Dania belonged to the People's Republican Party.The situation will be very interesting because the power of the district belongs as the position of mayor belongs to the opposing options

In capital(Layton), the ruling party justified its role as the favorite by winning the most seats in the city assembly as well as the majority of municipalities with the exclusion of the Layton municipality of Dallas which belongs to the People and Justice party.The rulers are happy with the result and if they do not hide their disappointment with the loss of Planton City.

These results already show how voters can vote in the General Elections in the spring of 2022.According to these results, it could be concluded that the Democratic Party is growing in popularity.

- National Phone manufacturer sues TVZE over television emission

NA CJANCA

Researchers at the Bòrjagrad Institute of Science and Technology have published their findings on their genetic engineering experiments intending to facilitate the return of the long-neck unicorn, the long-extinct national animal of Zeneslav. The research team has determined that after significant lab studies and experimentation, they have managed to reproduce the structures and embryos specific to the long-neck unicorn and hope to release it into the wild very soon. The Zenesk government is very hopeful of the project as well as what it means for other endangered species throughout Thalassia. More details to follow in the coming months.

NA NÈJRÒDJNA

Government offices will close and services will be suspended on Monday, 7 March in honor of Prime Minister Kàsper Kàrlevesk’s 57th birthday. The Prime Minister has once again made the decision to close the government down and declare a day of relaxation for the country. Services such as law enforcement and fire crews will still be operational, but non-essential facilities such as postal services, licensing administrations, and various other bureaucracies will be shut down for the day. Normal operations will resume the next day.

NA PRAVDAŚ

National telephone manufacturer Pjenźj Elektrònjka has sued TVZE this week over an episode broadcast by Channel 2 of the popular soap drama Professor What. The episode, which showcases Bluetooth earpieces used to subjugate the population of Svjatòj Kàrk, the capital of San Cark, was cited by the company as being responsible for decline of earphone sales across Zeneslav and a massive hit in the company’s profit. Pjenźj Elektrònjka says it intends to go after the TV giant as best it can, as it needs some way to recuperate its sales after numerous attempts to reclaim public trust.

Channel 1,News

Four days before the third Family Parade in Layton on Saturday, March 6, some inside the country were provoked to raise unnecessary tensions.Along with the Clarkstanian tricolor and the flag of the Layton District near the local government building, there was also a rainbow-colored flag, which caused a revolt among most citizens.

The flag was hoisted late at night when there were no people on the street. The ruling party said it was unacceptable to equate the flags of some movements with the flags of the state and the federal entity, just as it was not clear to them what preceded such an act.

Alisa Baikina(Press Secretary of President of FR Clarkstan):In the Federal Republic of Clarkstan, there is a clear definition in law that discrimination against employment and the provision of services in sexual minorities is prohibited.Also, in no city will you see that there is homophobic graffiti, because that is also forbidden. And the fact is that during this government, crime against sexual minorities has been reduced tenfold.But we will not allow the will of the minority to be imposed on the majority.

The Conservative Alliance and the newly formed non-parliamentary People and Justice Party said that the LGBTQ community is not life-threatening in Clarkstan, but that they must know which state they are in.This action was supported by the Liberal, Greens, Labor, non-parliamentary Free Clarksta Party, the Liberal Democratic Party and certain factions in the United regions of Clarkstan,while other opposition parties were either opposed as Communists and Socialists or abstained like Democrats.This situation again showed division in the opposition ranks

The organizers of the parade Family First Group have expressed hope that this week will pass peacefully until March 6.

NOT RP, BUT RP-RELATED. Get in on this!

Starting this Friday at noon CST, a temporary channel will be open for a week in Thalassia's Discord for a meeting of everyone interested in the renovations of our regional RP.

Specifically, the topics of the regional map, determining the size of our RP populations, and the time issues (i.e. real-life to RP time) are our priority. Please join us with your input and concerns on these topics. I know a lot of us are eager to get a new map and new possibilities up and going.

Again, the channel will be up and running for a week, so if we do get these matters of our world worked out, other topics and questions for discussion will be welcome.

Ping Cark, Zene or myself in Discord if you have any questions. We're looking forward to talking with you lot.

I support your programs, and I will be sure to partake in them. You've earned this, and I wish you the best in your endeavors as delegate. Good luck, and Semper Thalassia!

Edit: Make sure to endorse Grey, and at least like 10 people should unendorse Aren, at least until the transfer is complete.

Nationific, Ayeinc, Esslea, Tirr Savattstra, Grey County

Good work both of you; you two have a lot of energy and ideas, and this election season made me happy. Congratulations, Grey.

All right. Now I have a request that goes against my very nature. Unendorse me if you would. We need Grey County to get that #1 spot, and he's sitting at 22 endorsements as of right now. If you could pull your endorsements from the twelve or so people who have more than that, it'd really be doing your part. As would endorsing Grey if you haven't.

Don't worry, we get all the fun of re-endorsing when our new delegate is firmly established at the top of the list. Thanks to all of youse.

Address from New Delegate

So after the election we knew this was coming but it's still a shock for me. I'm so happy for the opportunity to represent Thalassia in the WA. Thank you for voting for me in the election and then for endorsing me and unendorsing those above me. I am ready to get to work and you will here more from me very soon. Please don't re-endorse those just above me quite yet and continue to endorse me if you haven't all ready and once again congratulations to Jed on a great campaign and thank you for trusting me with your Votes.

Grey County Shocks world,comes home with silver at Arena Bowl 8

Grey Countys national team entered the largest ever Arena Bowl for their debut tournament with what many saw as an unreasonable goal, To Make the round of 16 and they did that but they didnt stop after that upsetting international heavyweights on route to a gutwrenching loss in the Finals to the New Champions Abbanhfelt. The Team will mostly remain unchanged heading into Arena Bowl 9 and the team hopes to show this was'nt a fluke.

PM Bird loses seat, Deputy Liberal Leader Wilbur Williams to be PM

A subdued Federal Election was held on Saturday. Kelvin Bird hoped that an election after an economically productive quarter would deliver the ruling coalition a decisive mandate. Yet, the election proved no real change, with the amount of seats unchanged despite some labor seats changing hands. The election blowed a death kneel to Mr Bird, with him and DPM Runner losing their seats by incredibly tight margins.

Deputy Leader Wilbur Williams was promoted to leader after an expected leadership spill. This electoral term will be William’s second term. The Governor General has invited Williams to form a Government.

The updated Parliament seat share can soon be found in dispatches relating to Parliament.

If there is a 2040, I'll be 65.

Hopefully, the Ekumen will find our planet before it's too late and help us out. Barring divine or extraterrestrial intervention, I'm not that optimistic, either. If there is a next phase of human history, I think we'll (perhaps literally) have to go through a rite of fire to get to it.

Statement from DSA's Councilorship of Foreign Affairs

Dear friends,

it is with great pleasure that today the Democratic Socialist Assembly celebrates its 10th anniversary since the founding of our region! We have gone through many changes, some joyful and some dark times, and we have endured in the path towards Socialism till now. I have been a member of the DSA roughly since 2016, so I do share most of its history by now. We have radically changed our friendships and embassies over the last two years and I'm happy to have been instrumental in promoting our tightening of relations with our current embassies, as well as the creation of the NS Solidaric Triad Agreements. I wish all our friends from allied regions all the best and I give each and everyone of you our thanks for sticking with us and providing much needed love and solidarity!

Happy DSA Day!

Hello everyone!

This is Talamia, General Cabinet Aide for Democratic Socialist Assembly’s Ministry of Role-Play.

I would gladly extend to all Thalassia members an invitation to become part of the Comrades Cup, the very first football tournament in the history of our region. My country will host the event. It’s going to be a tournament for national football teams in the style of the FIFA World Cup.

The Comrades Cup is the first official event launched by DSAFF, the newly formed DSA Association Football Federation. The DSAFF was born with the aim of encouraging sports role-play within our region. The birth of the federation is the first step in a long-term project to give importance to NationStates' Left in the football field.

It is not mandatory to be part of DSAFF in order participate to the Comrades Cup, but we would be honored if any of Thalassa nations would join the project and have fun with us.

Here you can find a link to the guide on how to join: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=talamia/detail=factbook/id=1525260

Here instead the official factbook of the federation: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=talamia/detail=factbook/id=1502366

Pretty important announcement

You saw this already if you’re active on our Discord, where we normally hang out.

Hey y’all. I wanted to take a moment to let you know that **I am starting the abdication process today.** While I adore this community and I am so proud to see how it’s shifted in the nearly two years I’ve been a part of it, I’m realizing I have less and less time and energy to dedicate to it. I’m not fully leaving, but I will be stepping back from my In-Character government roles.

Badivermeraed and I have decided the transition period will take about two weeks- he will then officially be King of Thalassia and granted all powers held by that title.

I could not be happier handing off the title to another founding member of Thalassia- someone who knows her past and sees the possibilities of her future. He’s been a part of this community for about as long as I have, longer if you count Pacifica, and has always been ready to support it. I’m proud to be able to call him my friend and I am looking forward to seeing what he and all of our Thalassian creatives do with the region. I am confident that he’ll be a good King (and that if needed the community will keep him in check 😛 ).

I will be retaining my role as Chief Administrator and will continue to manage our OOC moderation and tech needs with my team. More on that later.

Per the Titles act and to honor our Greek inspired name, I’ve decided I’ll be taking on the title of Vasilissa Epítimos (Queen Emeritus) upon abdication. More than that, though, I would like to use this Act to honor a couple of members of our community who do not receive enough thanks- without them, Thalassia wouldn’t have made it in its early days. Hell, late Pacifica’s community probably wouldn’t have been able to move without them:

To Wymondham1, I grant the title Markissios Dýnami (Marquis Power) for his unshakable spirit, willingness to ask the difficult questions, and for all of his work (both publicly and behind the scenes, keeping everyone’s head on straight). His classic Wym walls and his fierce protection of this community and its various members have, in my eyes, firmly earned him this honor.

To Czech Germania, I grant the title Varonos Dikaios (Baron Justice) for his dedication to what is right and just. He may have had to take a break from Thalassia, but no one can deny how crucial he was in our early days, not only ensuring the government wasn’t so blinded by security to remember what matters in our World- fun and creative pursuit- but also fighting to ensure that everyone was treated fairly.

These two players are prime examples of our community and of the NS community at large. Thank both of you for everything you’ve done for Thalassia!

So many of the rest of you deserve my thanks- thank you for these last couple of years together, thank you for all your support and your memes, and thank you for making me want to rinse out my eyes with bleach every Thursday (seriously those images are CURSED).

Slavery was a big one for the US. And also the whole Hawaii imperialism thing.

Visiting family in large swaths. I mean, I do miss them, but now I can actually forget their names and have an excuse.

Hello everyone, this is your friendly cursed mage. Imma just try this thing for the first time.

I think I should have done this earlier but I guess I am a lazy guy, whatever.

So, have a nice day everyone. [That is the only thing I can think of]

Dear friends of Thalassia,

Wishing you a good May the 4th, I inform you that the Comrades Cup is about to begin!

In the coming days, the DSAFF will write the history of our region by organizing its first football tournament.

The official server of the first DSA Football Federation has been created. While the final details are still being worked out, I would like to share the Official Ultimate Guide to the competition with you. Inside you will find a description of the cities that will host the fans, the stadiums that will host the matches, and the teams that will play them.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T9SP0YovRBIHNqEOGm443OPOyy8oHDE8/view?usp=sharing

We are still examining possible last-minute applications, with the possibility of expanding the tournament from 8 to 12 teams.

Do you want to be part of the first edition of the Comrades Cup? Do you prefer to join the server only to watch live matches and comment on them together with the involved players? In any case, do not hesitate to send a TG to Talamia and to express your interest. You have until next Monday!

In solidarity,

Talamia

In all seriousness, shouldn't be too long before the new RP system is set up for the whole region!

Quite a few names I still recognize. Sorry for my long absence, by the time I had a schedule where I could log in regularly, I had lowkey forgotten about this game. I am glad I remembered, though, and I am very glad to be back :)
