Apulita has been a dedicated leader of Warzone Europe for a long time, and has also contributed to the stability of other Warzones. They have done major diplomatic work, and have been the WA Delegate for a staggering amount of time, considering that they inhabit a Warzone. In short, Apulita has contributed a lot to all the Warzones over a long period of time, and for that they deserve to be commended.

The head of the military proposes a training facility to be built in Grey County for all members of the Thalassian Peace Keeping Organization. Grey County would cover 50% percent of the cost in exchange for all training for the T.P.K.O to be done there. The rest would be covered by the rest of the nations. If built it would be finished by august 1st. Over all it would cost 10 million.

World Assembly - General Assembly - Regulating Desalination

Vote:For

What is interesting is that this resolution does not mandate anything but proper disposal of waste from desalination. I see nothing wrong with formally encouraging desalination and other related procedures, and ensuring that the waste produced should a nation choose to do so does not damage the environment or anything else. For this reason, I recommend a vote for.

Baltic NRC would like to ask any and all nations if they would like to create a thalassia wide documentary on prisons from all different countries

all countries who sign up will have a crew of people from all of the participants enter a country prison under cover as a prisoner for a day and see what it is like. Every three days a new episode would air each within a different country

this would be used as both a teaching device for children and people studding prisons and a way to branch out and better relations with other nations.

Conklandi's role in the TPKO

The Conklandi government announces that as well as giving its army of 10,000 members in the event of war, it would also give access to the Conklandi Fund in order to cover all costs incurred by war (e.g. reconstruction of damaged cities) via its investments which had grossed $31 million since first being created.

The Conklandi government would advise not to increase military size without justification in order to prevent a series of alliances from collapsing into " a larger and bloodier playground scuffle" which would take up to a decade to recover from.

[spoiler]Hello! I hope everyone's having a nice day. I'd like to publicly announce that I'm stepping down from my position as Minister of Culture and exiting government. This is due to some changes in schedule that I'm facing in real life, making it a lot more difficult for me to find time for NS. I know the MoC has been behind on RP Rewards and some other things, and I believe part of that can be credited to my inactivity resulting from the aforementioned schedule changes. Therefore, I think it's in the best interest of the region and its role players that I allow a more active person to take my place and lead the Ministry of Culture. I've served for quite a while now in the Thalassian government, and never once has it not been fun for me. I greatly enjoyed my time spent in this community and this government. Do note, though, that I'm not leaving NS for good. I'll stick around here in Thalassia and come online on my Discord account and the NS website occasionally to chat and participate in events (I hope to come online on NS at least so often as to not CTE). A month or two from now, when things have settled down for me, I may start being more active again, but even when that time comes, I think I'm just going to enjoy talking and maybe role playing in the Thalassian community instead of working in government.

Aside from that, I've got a couple more announcements to make. Firstly, Laeden, Monkelandd, and Hopal Ii have each been awarded 2 RP points for the past 2 weeks' role play. Congrats to them! This is the last set of winners I'll be announcing. The MoC will be continuing RP Rewards, but it may be delayed a bit due to changes in leadership being underway.

Secondly, Zentata and I have been discussing an idea for the deregulation of role play. The basic concept is to pull back RP rules regarding realism, point of view, setting, and anything else that limits creativity and relies on RP Moderation to develop ideas for what constitutes "good role play." I believe the key to why no Culture administration in all Thalassian and Pacifican history has ever succeeded in truly revitalizing role play in a way that makes things very easy and fun for everyone is because all this time, we've been sticking with a government-run model for RP (where the Ministry of Culture's moderation has been deciding vague and very arbitrary things such as the setting that people should role play in and the exact numbers they should use for specific details in war RP) and no government thus far has been able to develop a theory that everyone can agree on for the development of quality RP. Role play is such a complicated thing, in my opinion, that we shouldnt be trying to break it down and develop a universal system for it. Instead, I think we should be leaving it up to role players to decide what they want to write. They have the capacity to organize into groups with a common role play setting and rules. So, that's the idea I've been having about the Thalassian role play scene, and I personally would like to see the Ministry of Culture playing a much smaller role in RP affairs (perhaps acting only as a basic censorship board for really extreme content, like things that violate RMB and NS rules and other things that our community agrees are inappropriate). However, I've not been able to realize this idea in any way, and the Ministry of Culture is currently unbelievably small, and so I do not trust that the idea will get anywhere should I leave it within the confines of the ministry. So, as a result, Zentata and I have decided to make this idea public and let you, the role players of Thalassia, make your voices heard. I urge you all to post your opinion on the RMB about what role you would like the government to be playing in the realm of RP. The Ministry of Culture will be reading your posts and taking note of them for private discussion with the next MoC leadership. Things will move forward from there once a new Minister of Culture is picked.

Thank you all for making NS such a fun site for me to play on! I hope to continue having fun here, especially when I start being more active again later. I know that a lot of people in government are going on LoAs and stuff, and that's probably due in part to some of their circumstances in the time of COVID-19. I think it'll all be fine and our government will continue to be active once some things are settled.

By the way, as I mentioned, the Ministry of Culture is very short on staff. It would be greatly appreciated if some people joined. If anyone is interested in joining, please telegram Zentata![/spoiler]

Whoa.

As for roleplay, I don't think we should totally be free to do whatever we choose. One nation may roleplay in an advanced futuristic setting, while another may do so in a pre Industrial Revolution setting. I really think that all of us who roleplay must come up with opinions and vote on them. I know I need to say better than I did.

Sorry to see you go. I do hope you'll be online just enough to not get cte'd as you said!!

So, me and Czech also talked about a system where players would create clubs for rp. Each one would have its own rules and setting, and would moderate itself, with the rp mods moderating extreme content and keeping an eye on things. Nations could be a member of multiple clubs, and so could rp as a futuristic nation in one and a medieval nation in another. You could also choose to do these clubs on the discord or the rmb, thereby opening options for slightly different rp situations. For example, there could be a modern day RP club, a club centered around TAN, a sci-fi club set in another galaxy, etc. This keeps the rules and the freedom.

Hello chaps.

How do you do in this day.

So, has I told you a week ago or something like that, I was changing my Alternate World to merge with the Timeline 191, also know has Southern Victory Series, by auther Harry Turtledove in which the CSA won the Civil War and lasted for 83 years. And since the books end in 1944, I decided to create a post-Second Great War, but, until that is finish, here is a preview of the new history of my nation. I advise you to sto reading when you see this: From the Kingdom of Northern Portugal to the beginning of the reign of Jorge I of Portugal, because from this point on, it is the other version.

Have a great day,

Aside from that, I've got a couple more announcements to make. Firstly, Laeden, Monkelandd, and Hopal Ii have each been awarded 2 RP points for the past 2 weeks' role play. Congrats to them! This is the last set of winners I'll be announcing. The MoC will be continuing RP Rewards, but it may be delayed a bit due to changes in leadership being underway.

Secondly, Zentata and I have been discussing an idea for the deregulation of role play. The basic concept is to pull back RP rules regarding realism, point of view, setting, and anything else that limits creativity and relies on RP Moderation to develop ideas for what constitutes "good role play." I believe the key to why no Culture administration in all Thalassian and Pacifican history has ever succeeded in truly revitalizing role play in a way that makes things very easy and fun for everyone is because all this time, we've been sticking with a government-run model for RP (where the Ministry of Culture's moderation has been deciding vague and very arbitrary things such as the setting that people should role play in and the exact numbers they should use for specific details in war RP) and no government thus far has been able to develop a theory that everyone can agree on for the development of quality RP. Role play is such a complicated thing, in my opinion, that we shouldnt be trying to break it down and develop a universal system for it. Instead, I think we should be leaving it up to role players to decide what they want to write. They have the capacity to organize into groups with a common role play setting and rules. So, that's the idea I've been having about the Thalassian role play scene, and I personally would like to see the Ministry of Culture playing a much smaller role in RP affairs (perhaps acting only as a basic censorship board for really extreme content, like things that violate RMB and NS rules and other things that our community agrees are inappropriate). However, I've not been able to realize this idea in any way, and the Ministry of Culture is currently unbelievably small, and so I do not trust that the idea will get anywhere should I leave it within the confines of the ministry. So, as a result, Zentata and I have decided to make this idea public and let you, the role players of Thalassia, make your voices heard. I urge you all to post your opinion on the RMB about what role you would like the government to be playing in the realm of RP. The Ministry of Culture will be reading your posts and taking note of them for private discussion with the next MoC leadership. Things will move forward from there once a new Minister of Culture is picked.

Thank you all for making NS such a fun site for me to play on! I hope to continue having fun here, especially when I start being more active again later. I know that a lot of people in government are going on LoAs and stuff, and that's probably due in part to some of their circumstances in the time of COVID-19. I think it'll all be fine and our government will continue to be active once some things are settled.

By the way, as I mentioned, the Ministry of Culture is very short on staff. It would be greatly appreciated if some people joined. If anyone is interested in joining, please telegram Zentata![/spoiler]

First of all, thanks a lot for your work, Czech Germania. I've sent you messages quite a few times asking you for guidance and orientation and you always helped me to the best of your abiliites. You did a splendid job and everyone is very grateful for your work.

Now, regarding to roleplay, I must admit I have a very different opinion of what the MoC should do. I respect your opinion, but I think that the MoC should have a more proactive stance on roleplaying, not just acting as a basic censor. I'll point out a few ideas I think would be nice for our roleplay:

[spoiler]

- The MoC could create forms for with different stats on economic, cultural and military fields. Every country would be assigned a specific number of points to invest in their stats. This way, we would be independent of the NS stats and we would allow the nations could customize itself however it desire. It would be very interesting, because it would give yet another layer for the roleplay, since every nation could define its economy, its social aspects and set strategies and policies for itself.

- The MoC could act as a more proactive moderator. So far the nations have been creating several projects (such as the space agency or the supercomputer). But all those projects don't seem to go much further because individual nations can only roleplay so far. It'd be good to have an independent actor to push those projects forward, as well as presenting other threats and oportunities to the nations, such as large weather incidents, international crisis and etc.

- The MoC could also be a more proactive moderator to enforce realism in the roleplay. I mean, there are nations that sometimes overestimate their own military and economic capabilities. It's not criticism, because it's hard to keep track of every stat. But with an active moderator like the MoC we could prevent smaller nations to do things too flamboyant, which discredit the rp a little bit, because if a small nation can do anything, what is the point of trying to improve yours?

- The MoC has a very nice policy, which is to assign RP points. But there are few things we can do with this points. If we create the forms, as I suggested, the points can be applied in further investments for the nation. That way, we would have a credible way of developing our nations. We could also give points for other things, not only being active in the RP, but also by the quality of the RP and by the construction of factbooks.

- I think the MoC definetely needs a larger staff. We could have permanent members and a liaison council with the staff and the players, so suggestions and criticism could be discussed in real time.

- The MoC should take control (and create) international organizations, like a Thalassian Bank and an International Court of Justice. It could directly act in the roleplay through this instances, providing yet another oportunity for players to deal with something other them themselves and other players.

[/spoiler]

I know that is a lot and I'll understand if the other players don't agree or if it simply isn't possible considering our current capabilities of the MoC. But I really think that those changes would benefit the roleplay, and I urge the MoC (and my fellow players) to take them into consideration. I'd also like to note that I'm not downplaying the players capabilities to conduct a serious and credible RP. I'm just saying that with an active MoC we could develop further than we've been able to do so far.

OK so here is my stance on the roleplay changes.

I like it but my one fear is that it will make things to complicated for the common player. I hope that as a part of the MOC we can at least keep this one simple and then all other would be on discord.

Czech Germania, Zentata

Oh, by the way, hi everyone. I've been absent for a few days but now I'm back and eager to roleplay with y'all. Regarding my rp suggestions (please read), I'm more than willing to help creating and applying them if the other players like them.

I'll certainly take those ideas into account! They're great! Thank you so much, Laeden! I particularly like the idea that the MoC could create wide-ranging events, like storms, and also help make sure that events aren't left in the gutter. In addition, the idea to use rp points to improve your country in certain respects has quite a bit of potential. I'm working on the bigger staff too, trust me.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed their ideas thus far! I can't wait to make the roleplay in this region better.

Nationific would be willing to pay 5 million Autofics to Grey County. As for the situation regarding Baltic NRC, Nationific thinks that the decision is best left with Yaldian Territories or Grey County.

Hello chaps.

How do you do in this day.

So, has I told you a week ago or something like that, I was changing my Alternate World to merge with the Timeline 191, also know has Southern Victory Series, by auther Harry Turtledove in which the CSA won the Civil War and lasted for 83 years. And since the books end in 1944, I decided to create a post-Second Great War, but, until that is finish, here is a preview of the new history of my nation. I advise you to sto reading when you see this: From the Kingdom of Northern Portugal to the beginning of the reign of Jorge I of Portugal, because from this point on, it is the other version.

Have a great day,

Portugal And Great Britannia

I suggest to look up AlternateHistoryHub's Southern Victory lore for more insights, it's really great
