Hello folks, and welcome back to ZNNS, for your latest sports news. I'm Elena Elen, and I'm joined today by Bruno Margolotto, the manager of the Zylan Zingers.
Happy to be here, Ms Elen.
Excellent! The Zylan Zingers have won every single one of their games this week, except for the first. How is the team feeling after these raging victories?
Well, I'd say they're quite ecstatic. We've been practicing hard and we didn't give up one bit, no matter how far behind we may have been.
Makes sense. The rest of zentata seems to have gotten much happier. I think we really needed this, considering the Zentatan Plague is continuing to spread.
Oh yes, and we're being sure to take all possible precautions necessary.
Well, best of luck for next week!
Thank you, and good night.
Channel Changes to ZNN News
Hello, I'm James Brant, here with your 9:00 Zentatan Plague News. The virus has claimed another 400 deaths in Ganthyn today, the lowest toll for the past six weeks, but the mayor of the city says that it is likely a fluke, and that "we cannot let our vigilance slide" The unemployment toll is also more severe, with 20% of the population without a job. The president has rolled out a plan that "puts the people before corporations" and will give everyone 1000$ a week. He has also ordered all rents to be halved, and has banned landlords from kicking tenants out, using the powers granted to him under the Emergency Rule Segment of the Utopia Act. All citizens must wear masks in public, and are encouraged to help out front line workers in any way they can. Instead of bailing out companies, the government is said to be considering simply taking over any business that is deemed big enough to be saved. The first case of Zentatan Plague was reported in Zylan yesterday. The Capital Province has been exceptional in shutting itself out, with all travel being highly regulated. However, now that it is here, another 26 cases were reported today, and the number is expected to only grow. The death toll is now 26000 (OOC: Is this accurate?), and is growing exponentially. Thank you to our essential workers, and goodbye.
OOC: I don't know if anyone is going to see this, but if you are an essential worker, Thank You.

You actually lost 2 games, Zentata, you had a double header on Day 4.
Speaking of, because I am trying to clear all the inter-league games now, you'll notice a few teams playing 2 games on the same day. Don't worry, this should be the only time this happens! From now on most games will be inside your leagues so keep an eye on your divisional rivals :]
Hmph. I'll fix it, thanks for pointing it out! Also, Kina Hiandro has cte'd, so what are you going to do about that?

100 new B-20 cases have been reported in Planton City today. Such a rapid increase has made Planton City a hotbed of disease.The total number of infected is 184, as ordered by the president, orders have already been made to close borders for foreign nationals and close all educational institutions.A meeting with the President is scheduled tomorrow to discuss new measures in the fight against the B-20,the disease itself poses not only a threat to human health but also to the economy of the country.The Clarkstanian authorities intends to localize the B-20 so that it does not spread to the whole country.[/spoiler]

World Assembly-Security Council-Repeal: Condemn This Game
Tentative Vote:For
This is tricky. I don't like Condemn This Game, and I would argue that it sets a bad precedent. The repeal is written well, and has even garnered the support of the author who wrote the condemnation. I think that Thalassia should vote "for" because of this. I encourage debate as always, and hope to see a discussion on the RMB or the WA discussion channel on the discord.
Clarkstan, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Thucydide
Me thinks I'll be voting against, but it's okay to disagree :)

Avalonia and its Monarchy
[spoiler=If you can't bother to scroll past a post on the RMB, I don't really get why you are in this region but instead I have to put spoilers on my posts for some arbitrary reason]There are hundreds of thousands of palaces in Avalonia. These palaces can be found in the busiest cities, or in the most scenic countrysides. Overlooking harbors, or nestled at the foot of a mountain. The huge majority of these fly the Avalonian Imperial Flag, and have three names on their deeds: Avalonijesfrejerborganer, Vaajlfaajrdsingjen, and the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Avalonijesfrejerorganer: An old term for the Avalonian People. Vaajlfaajrdsingjen: An old term for the Avalonian Government (meaning Welfare Regime, dating from 1633). The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg: The Royal House of Avalonia. By law, these palaces belong to the Avalonian People, Government, and the Royal House, and they are a physical manifestation of the Avalonian Sovereign Triad (the idea that Avalonian Sovereignty is Held by the Royal House, Vested in the Government, and Deriving from the People). You may know about the freedom-loving, compassionate, inclusive, and peaceful Avalonian people. You may know about the massive, efficient, and transparent government. But did you know about the the third? The Avalonian Royal Family is part of the Royal House of unelected and titled people who are enshrined with constitutional protections and privileges. Sounds quite different from democracy and socialism doesn't it? So how does this family fit into modern democracy? Find out in this quite short introduction!
Ten years ago, the Avalonian People were polled by the Royal House in the Ellandstemperaturssvrijkt Tejn Rjeijkungsfamiljen (The Public Opinion Poll on the Royal Family, translating literally to the National Temperature Poll Towards the Kingdom's Royal Family). It found that 85% of Avalonians were "extremely in favor" of the Royal Family, 13% were in "very much in favor" of the Royal Family, 1.8% were "Just in favor", and .2% of respondents were either Neutral or Not In Favor. This was the highest approval rating in history, and was reflective of how ingrained the Avalonian Family is in society. Yes, we in Avalonia love our Royals. We love rating their hats, talking about their clothes and even ordering it, we love visiting their Palaces for public tea, and we love to watch the 3 hour documentaries about them that you can tune into at every hour of the day on Channel 1.
But what do they do? Who are they?
Avalonia is a Constitutional Monarchy, meaning the place of the Royal Family is constitutionally-enshrined. All powers are vested in the Monarch (A King or Queen), who is the Head of State, but as a constitutional monarchy, they cannot perform politically substantive acts under a Working Government. The monarch can, though, Suspend the Operating Constitution and Reorder the Government under Article 1 of the Papers of State. A limited power that has never been used, if there are egregious human rights violations that the Government has made, the monarch may dismiss the government and its constitutional protections, and appoint a Human Rights Interim Councilor. This has never happened though, and there are hundreds and hundreds of laws to prevent this from having to happen, and it probably will never happen. Additionally, the Monarch is not only able but obligated to amend the constitution when appointing a Government and opening Parliament.
The current monarch is Queen Margarethe, who signs all Orders of Parliament, meaning she gives powers to the Parliament. Additionally, she calls all elections, and signs off on all Parliamentary Appointments. She also meets with representatives of all political parties after an election, and invites the biggest party to form a government. After the government is formed, she approves the Motion to Found Government, and formally appoints the Government. The biggest ceremony for Her Majesty is the Opening of Parliament. Filled with pomp and circumstance, this day-long procedure includes royal processions, crowns and tiaras, the whole of the Royal Family, royal sashes, carriages, and a televised signing of the Constitution and speech by the Queen.
The Queen stays in contact with the Prime Minister by having meetings with her every two days. The Queen is also involved in foreign relations, as she may host foreign leaders or dignitaries at one of her palaces, or host formal State Banquets or State Balls. Additionally, she may visit foreign leaders. Although mostly non-political, the Government may request that the Queen or a member of the Royal Family host or visit a foreign dignitary. Each year, the Queen also invites all foreign representatives to one of her Summer Palaces for tea and a reception.
In addition to formal responsibilities, the Royal Family also works with the Avalonian Industrial Association to improve the Avalonian economy. Granting Royal Appointments to certain companies help to improve their international prestige and "exportability". Consuming Avalonian Goods when abroad (like wearing Avalonian designers, or giving gifts of Avalonian goods) help to increase interest in Avalonian exports. And making foreign business visits also helps to open doors abroad for Avalonian companies. So in this regard, the Avalonian Royal Family has a responsibility to promote the Avalonian image abroad.
Lastly, the Royal Family engages directly with the Public. Sometimes, a member of the Royal House will pop up at a Public Tea (Public Teas are held every day excluding holidays, and are open to the public at every Avalonian Royal Residence when a member of the Royal House is not in). The Crown Princess or other members may dedicate ships, open new hospitals, or visit new art exhibitions. If a piece of the Royal Collection is not at display at its Palace or in use by the Royals, it may travel around Avalonia to be displayed at different museums. In fact, when the Tiara and Diadem Collection of Queen Amalia (the most famous Avalonian monarch in history) went on display for a decade, it is estimated that 2 out of 5 Avalonians visited the exhibition.
Most Avalonians have grown up reading books about the Sonderburgs, watching them on TV, and discussed them in school. By the time they are in college, they read about the role of the Sonderburgs in Avalonian history, and by the time they have children, they have probably seen the new styles of baby-pictures that are set by whichever Royal Couple has had a baby most recently (this year, Prince Anders and his husband sparked a national frenzy for water-themed baby pictures when they had their photoshoot with newborn Princess Elana at the River Amaljegaliér). In Avalonia, approval for the Royals is simply part of life. The Roya Family makes more money for the tourism industry than it receives from the Avalonian People, and so Avalonians really don't see a way that they harm the nation. Avalonians instead see a family that they can connect with from a distance, and that they can see as a constant representation of Avalonian peace and prosperity.[/spoiler]

You have to use spoilers because it is part of this regions rules, which have been linked below for you. I strongly suggest you avoid being rude to residents who give you a polite nudge in the future.
The RMB isnt just for roleplayers, it is for all members of the region. Putting your post in spoilers in minimal effort at best- if you can be bothered to write a novel, you can be bothered to use a non-whiny spoiler.

RP - Invitation
The Avalonian Economic Minister, Magdalena Andersson, would like to invite Jerry Strodhelm, Zentian Minister of the Economy, to Köbarnhavn, Avalonia's capital. She hopes to discuss economics between the two nations regarding the Avalonian Euro, trade, and the products that Avalonia has to offer, ranging from Avalonian Energy to Luxury Goods. Minister Andersson also would like to discuss possible joint-initiatives into research, design, and implementation of vertical farming techniques that incorporate greater use of technology. Zentata

Letter to Magdalena Andersson From Jerry Strodhelm:
I thank you for your invitation, and I accept it with all due respect. Avalonia and Zentata seem to be two like-minded nations that can trade and collaborate for a fruitful future together. The regulations of TAN will need to be kept in consideration, although we see that there is likely to be no conflict. I will be proud to show you the many things that Zentata can give to Avalonia.

Did you people notice that now I'm a Civil Rights Lovefest? I sincerely hope I don't turn into an anarchy.
And I'm totally confused how to vote in the SC reso. I mean, we have one resolution which attempts to be humorous and another, which sees humour and witticism as things for the GA. That is another kind of satirism. I'd rather abstain, and, seriously... *shouting out to the person who proposed this*
This is NOT the United Nations! This is a game. A game specifically aimed at satire. We're not here to influence world policy, are we?
Sorry if I sounded a little heated. Mocking humour is very unsuave, to quote the resolution.
