Yeah, as toerana has said, this is more of a moderator thing then an IC SC thing.
Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Holy Land Of Germania
As a technically a dictatorship, I do not want my people glorifying me. Those people should stop being dumb and learn to think for themselves. And also stop complaining about gay marriage. Therefore I shall also vote in favour.
Signed, a non-psychotic dictatorship.
(Edit: no I am not saying I condemn psychotic dictatorship the government system. Well I actually do condemn them but not officially. Also i was referring to the Lustrous Ones people when I said they should stop being dumb.)
Zentata
Due to my recent mistakes I am considering on withdrawing from Thalassia.
Zentata
Although Kalderisara is also a dictatorship, our philosophy is based on the concept of an enlightened ruler, trusting in the leadership of someone who has proven themselves wise and capable and is advised (and restrained) by a body of skilled diplomats, scholars, economists, etc. Glorifying rulers whom condemn innocents to death and marshal armies for their own gain is abhorrent to us. Therefore, we will vote in favor of the resolution.
Tirr Savattstra, The Lustrous Ones, Holy Land Of Germania
Its honestly a respectable perspective to have in its own right in my view, even though I am trying to bring back democracy.
If youve done justice to the people and are responsible for continuously elevating the country to higher standards, you wouldve earned the right to continue anyway.
But indeed, that is clearly not what the Psychotic Dictatorships region is about.

I'm kind of curious, what mistakes?

Post by Mornicoder suppressed by Nationific.
I just realized that my Civil Rights ranking in Thalassia has gone down from 11th to 56th in the span of a week. What should I do?
Large changes tend to be easy to reverse, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. When you get new issues, just choose policies that are likely to expand civil rights.
The Lustrous Ones
Without knowing any specifics and assuming whatever you did was not malicious, there are very few mistakes that can't be repaired if possible, atoned for if necessary, and avoided in the future. I honestly hope it wasn't serious enough to send you into self-exile.

He was asked to not double post and to just use the edit button by a moderator, and then he deleted his post and said that. Crime of the century.

Heh. I actually got a double post suppressed once and I didn't even know it until I came upon it in the old pages of the board. And then I wondered what I had done. The point being: No mistake is so big that it can't be corrected.
Ayeinc, Monkelandd, Tirr Savattstra, Maxilains, Holy Land Of Germania
Well now is see that what I thought was serious was not to bad. I will stay then. Sorry for the commotion.
Clarkstan, Nationific, Ayeinc, Zentata, Monkelandd, Banq, Tirr Savattstra, The Lustrous Ones
Speaking of double posting, Mornicoder, you double posted.
Zentata, Monkelandd, Holy Land Of Germania
Post suppressed!
Ayeinc, Zentata, Holy Land Of Germania
We had a case 10+ days ago where 2 of the ancient ones double-posted in a row.
Its probably difficult to follow this format of posting when you have 2 or more separate thoughts and people are generally not used to overloading a single post with too many different things. Compare this to something like the discord where multiple posts are automatically linked so you can easily add in separate things and have it fit nicely.
But also your reaction is understandable even though it was misinformed. The inadequacy syndrome is... no joke.

Hopal will be sending medical personnel and equipment to Adelora to help fight the B-20 virus. Hopal has also reported its first case of the B-20 virus. A woman in her 40s who has just returned from a business trip. She has very mild symptoms and is isolating. Everyone in the business class of Air Hopal flight 21 on May 2, 2020 must quarantine.

The Holy Land of Germanias best doctor has tested positive for the B-20 illness. The symptoms are very strong and include wheezing, organ failure and lung collapse. That is most of our information on the virus. The Holy Land of Germania has 309,347 confirmed and tested cases, along with 67,450 deaths. A national
lockdown has been declared along with the prohibition of international travel of all sorts. The tourism industry has been hit extremely hard. One of the citizens who has recovered says this about the illness, It makes you feel dead on the inside and painful on the other.

Just browsing around the region and noticed that Wiskawga is banned. I seem to remember that they were quite active here. What happened?
Zentata
Wisk was banned following a ban over offsite roleplay holdings, illegal ones and his appeal was denied. He has since left NationStates entirely.
Nationific, Ayeinc, Zentata, Monkelandd, Coalandia, Holy Land Of Germania
Multiple other nations were banned as well. All the bans were related to an unsanctioned discord server. His appeal was denied because Cormac thought that as a former MoS, he should have known better.

Our present king, Van Haardt de Bhrie tested out positive for B-20, as did his wife, Anna Haderlandt.

Hi again :)
There was a small misunderstanding with the regional moderation and I got banned for a while, but it's all solved now.
Do you post RP messages in the RMB or in Discord?
Ayeinc, Zentata, The Lustrous Ones, Holy Land Of Germania
The RMB. Be sure to get your stats from Czech Germania!

Oh I thought it was Esslea, sorry.
Ayeinc, Zentata, The Lustrous Ones
Esslea is also a Stats Distributor, but they've been inactive for a while now. We're in the process of verifying whether they're still active on NS. For now, I'd recommend everyone deliver any stat requests to me only, because Esslea may take a while to respond (or not respond at all).

The B-20 illness numbers have doubled from 309,347 to 567,050 cases. The illness is extremely contagious but is mostly isolated in the far western coastline villages, we have cut revel from the affected counties, the citizens receive supplies via airdrops and Doctors and other medical personnel come via driving alone. The main problem about the virus here is that these village community counties are extremely reliant on each other and are very self reliant so that these areas in particular are not too industrialized and lack adequate hospitals and medical equipments.
Ayeinc, Zentata, The 3Nd German Republic
I got an issue like that earlier.

3 things I want to mention:
1. Its spelled daimyo not damyio.
2. Whats up with New Zealand on the map? Is this a scenario where the Zealandia continent never sank?
3. California is also its own island. Have you been watching AlternateHistoryHub?
I only skimmed through it but it seemed interesting.
Czech Germania, Nationific
It's their own map, drawn by them and helped by Zeneslav. This is not a map of the world as we know it, but a map of the world they have created. I was there when they made California an island, and the drawing is pretty neat too!

Oh crap heart disease went way down in my nation. I dont even know when that happened or how. It went from like 35% of death by heart disease too 10%.
Also does anyone know what causes rudeness to go up? My citizens rudeness is now in the top 1% of nations and I still dont know what caused that. I dont really have a problem with my citizens being rude Im just a little curious as to what I did to cause this.

Congratulations to Maxilains and Venezia Del Sud on being selected as the best role players of last week for their compliance with all our role play rules, their well-detailed posts, and their frequent posting! Clarkstan and New Camelot Of Avalonia would have received points for their role play but for their lack of registered RP stats (which is, in fact, against the rules, so to those two, please telegram me for your stats before you continue role playing!). The 3Nd German Republic, Hopal, and Holy Land Of Germania were also close contenders for the top picks for their active posting.

My guess is that it has something to do with your nation being a "Corporate Bordello," with more of a free market economy. Mine is similar in that respect, and I also have some of the rudest citizens (5th in Thalassia). Not sure exactly which stat increases correlate with an increase in Rudeness, but it's got something to do with right-leaning issue choices.

Hopal will be sending in medical personnel and equipment to the affected regions of the Holy Land of Germania.

Statement from the Nationifician Ministry of Health
B-20 cases have been reported from villages in the northern part of Nationific, where, almost a month ago, a boat from a country with a sizeable infected population had landed. A general alert was immediately issued, wherein, any person coming from another country must have themselves checked for the bacteria in any Nationifician Health Establishment. Citizens stuck abroad have been brought back, and so far, only about 5% of them have tested positive, while the government believes that the infection in northern rural Nationific is due to the unknown person(s) in the boat mentioned above. All such villages have been isolated, and transport is now carrying only essentials and essential services personnel. The MOH advises all Nationificians to abide by the guidelines given by the regional community and also by itself.

Meanwhile, a police cruiser stops by an unmarked building.

We will fight till the end of time.

In the constitution it says something about creating petitions for a referendum. Like that post and that means you signed. It is in Article I section 9. For this petition we will change the laws to allow the mentioning of Thalassia in history and other fact books. Please like this post to sign, or like my previous post.

Well, I don't know what are you talking about.
I don't have drawings of that person. You must be mistaken
Hopal
I have a feeling you're misinterpreting the constitution and Thalassian Law.
Mentioning Thalassia in a Facebook isn't illegal, neither is writing stuff about your nation that isn't canon.
What Zentata said wasn't that you cannot mention Thalassia, it is just that the factbook you have written is not canon in a roleplay setting, not that it is illegal. You can write as much as you want while mentioning Thalassia, but that doesn't mean it is canon.
Furthermore, a referendum would be illegal since you can not legally refer something that is not listed in Article VII, Section 13, this isn't listed there.
This'll just have to be a tough luck moment, or a challenge to reinvente your nation's lore that would make it canon-able (that's definitely not a word).
Czech Germania, Zentata, Monkelandd, Portugal And Great Britannia, The Lustrous Ones, Hopal, Holy Land Of Germania
Well, I never mention the region on I am in a history factbook.
I may mention in the overview factbook, but not in the history one.

Excuse me if this is not the place for this kind of rant (I really don't enjoy doing this), but I can't let this go without an answer. For over 3 years now, I have helped Portugal And Great Britannia with (almost) all he has asked me: several maps, dozens of photo montages with his face, countless flags and coats of arms, time-consuming drawings, I even helped him write part of his nation's lore.

Let me guess: when you wrote was the 10th but when you posted was the 11th?
If you neglect to read this and wind up in trouble later, that is on you. Consider this your warning.
Alright, I was hoping I wouldnt have to say anything but I suppose Im going to have to.
This drama between yourself [Alentejo] and North [Luso] is something that you should be sorting out privately. Thalassia is not your space to air this dirty laundry or shame people, nor will it become that. Handle your personal disputes elsewhere. I recognize that there have been a number of issues between various members of Portugal- please respect our space and do not drag it here.
The relevant posts have been suppressed and further discussion on this is discouraged. If it persists, the parties involved can take a time out.
This warning applies to everyone, but especially to Alentejo And Algarve, Portugal And Great Britannia, and Holy Land Of Germania. I recognize that the latter is not directly involved, but their comment has been seen as inflammatory.
If you have any questions, feel free to telegram me or contact me directly on the discord. Please dont make me have to address this issue publicly again. Thank you.

I was Indirectly involved as stated above. I apologise I in my defense was just trying to ask someone to help draw for me and the 3rd Republic of Germanys collaboration in history. I am sorry. Thank you
Alright. The 3Nd German Republic and Holy Land Of Germania. What I was trying to say, and apparently did not get across, was that while that joint history is fine in an out of roleplay context, it cannot be used in roleplay. It by no means violates the constitution. Making factbooks like what you made is fine, however, due to the earth reference, it cannot be made rp-canon.
EDIT: Just spotted this:
RP tags please!
Czech Germania, Toerana Iii, Nationific, Ayeinc, Portugal And Great Britannia, The 3Nd German Republic, The Lustrous Ones
Please snip long quotes or just ping the person directly next time. It clutters the RMB and makes discussion harder to follow.
I recognize it was indirect and there was no issue with asking for art. It was the additional Shame on you. Please try to avoid hopping on like that, as it just adds to the fire for lack of a better phrase. Art credits or not, thats for them to sort out amongst themselves.
I appreciate the apology and I wish you luck on your project! Its projects like that that make the game worth playing. 😄

Ok I will do so. (How did I get myself in a mess with 1,2,3,4,5 nations?) I am happy this is sorted out I will work something out. I will also say I dont know what non-canon means because I am not totally fluent in English. I am from Germany native to the area and have no idea what non-canon means.
