Region: Thalassia
I found this on the second page of this RMB:
[spoiler]
Thalassia Semper!
Hooray
For Thalassia!
Our home
And our land!
Where good stegos roam
Where free nations
Call home
And where freedom
Is our command!
The land of Thalassia
Of nobility, of truth
Where the righteous
Can come and spread their roots!
Our Thalassia,
Our Thalassia!
The noble...
And true!

Oh my apologies for missing this post. Thank you for endorsing me! I really shouldnt care about it too much because it does nothing outside of boosting statistics and showing who likes you, but it feels good regardless.
Yes ill be fine. I wouldnt leave unless I was kicked out for circumstances beyond imagination. Or unless this region dies which seems likely. Or something.
Also to clarify for everyone else: I understand Czechs perspective that Thalassia is better off with classy members who care and contribute and stuff, dont worry. Im not calling him out or attacking anything. Eventually the best members are the ones who look beyond the surface.
But amongst newer members I greatly lower my standards, because some of us ease into the game as time goes on. Its natural to be a little superficial early when you only have your intuition to tell you where to go.

Trust me, when I joined NS, I spent the first half year wondering what the hell was going on!
Monkelandd, The Lustrous Ones
I can vouch for Nationific when I first joined NS through a random google search of "Country Simulator", I didn't know what was going on either. I was kinda shocked at first that you could only answer issues, and type in the forums.
From my experience, most people will only stick to the surface level of nationstates.net, answering issues and leaving the occasional RMB post or two. So if you're seeing this, you're in a very small minority that broke through past the surface level of NS.

I joined through stranger circumstances. See, I like to code and am on this website:www.scratch.mit.edu. So, there was this person who had 'Running a nation' on their profile. I clicked on the link, and Bam! I created a nation :)
Czech Germania, Monkelandd, Tirr Savattstra
I disagree. I think there is instead a problem with the statement you're making. You are making this recurring argument that presenting Thalassia as a monarchy somehow keeps us from also presenting it as "a bastion of liberty, democracy, etc." I'm sorry if I came off the way you think I did, but that's not what I meant, and I believe you're misinterpreting my words. What I mean is that our governmental titles and labels should reflect the nature of our government so that we can attract likeminded nations. We should confidently establish ourselves as a constitutional monarchy with a democratic government that ensures the liberty of its citizens. Any nation like you that believes in Thalassia's core values need not turn away when we label ourselves that way, and so again, I do not think Thalassia would be better off without you, nor do I think I wrote anything wrong in that post of mine that you quoted.
And I'd like to in exchange clarify that that's not my perspective. I agree that the best members are the ones who look beyond the surface, and I don't think we need a populace of "classy" nations that are actively and enthusiastically participating in every single event. I just think we shouldn't be employing false advertising by making it look like we're some perfect democracy with no great power vested in any one unelected individual. We are democratic in nature, but ultimately a constitutional monarchy. I apologize if I'm reiterating the same points again and again, but I really do not want people to get the wrong message.

1) you know that was a joke based on Toeranas argument at the time. I never seriously insisted on that and basically summarized on what Toerana felt in a meme format. The imperialism thing was an attempt to make a funny joke and get likes. Which... I must say seems to have been pretty successful. Plus aside from that post I made about the Thalassian motto, there wasnt a single other post that was arguing that wed be undemocratic after the change. You must have confused my stance with the posts of others.
2) yeah thats fine. A fair position to have. A constitutional monarchy is a fine title that will still attract freedom-loving members.
It doesnt necessarily mean though that those who would join in the future for a republic title are people Thalassia are better off without though. I didnt have a problem with anything other than the bolded part I quoted off you.
3) again Im neutral on the matter. Your camp in support of this change has valid legitimate arguments in favour of. I was never against the idea. Solid position to have really. Youre also right about points 2 and 3.
4) Im sure you mean well and bear no hostile intent towards anyone, but it seems to be a bit premature to say that a region would be better without any of the people who decided not to join for those reasons. Well never know for sure how these different sets of people joining wouldve influenced Thalassia. Not the ones that leave following the change, but the ones who didnt join because they didnt think a monarchy is democratic. Or whatever other reason.
I can say pretty confidently that if I newly joined the game next week and saw Thalassias new title as a constitutional monarchy in the recruiting telegram, I would likely pass and join somewhere else, likely a republic or something of the sort.
Id still be the same person in this alternate timeline as I am now, except this case, your tidbit that I quoted in the last post is basically dismissing my potential value to Thalassia because I chose not to join based on a shallow surface-level title. Which is fine if not technically inaccurate.
Theres honestly nothing wrong with wanting to change your classification and I respect the stances of both sides for their own reasons. And most of your arguments are fair as well. Well except that one statement I singled out for reasons I already addressed.
Czech Germania, Nationific, Tirr Savattstra
Hi All,
Just giving my position on the poll:
I believe this debate went quite far quite fast and I must say I have been a little disappointed by the arguments on both sides. It seems some historical oppositions between members overtook the debate since the beginning and changed it from a constructive debate on how we can improve roleplay and how we can adapt our constitution to better reflect our current state of function, to some personal attacks and a lame debate on what is democracy.
I guess the debate was maybe wrongly presented to the community, and clearly the "empire" thing at the beginning of the conversation didn't help (at least for me). Maybe the following discussion reflect the sentiment that democracy is not about creating a poll only to validate a decision that was already decided by the Ministers, and maybe next time we can have a discussion in amont on the pros and cons of amending our constitution.
That being said, I do believe the Ministers were in good faith when proposing the amendement, and they seem to be willing to improve roleplay and in-game immersion which I can only applaud and support (even though i would have loved to have more details on how it will improve roleplay).
I don't believe that being a constitutional Monarchy prevent us from being democratic neither although I still firmly oppose to using the term empire.
Hence, I'll vote for this amendment, relying on the Minister's experience and good faith, but truly hope this discussion will at least allow more constructive discussion/debates in the futur

I wanted to express my disappointment with the way this debate has gone in these past few hours.
First, from Napier, the kind of accusations leveled against a citizen of this region is unbecoming, speculation of that kind in public is not ok and the level of hostility against another member of the region is really not ok, whatever your points.
Second, from Kalderisara, the way you characterized this region, as a 'Constitutional Dictatorship', is ignorant, offensive and unbecoming. If you truly believe Thalassia is a 'Constitutional Dictatorship', which it most certainly is not, then basically all regions with an active Founder are 'Constitutional Dictatorships'. Characterizing the region as such is offensive to each and everyone of us who work to keep this region free, democratic and safe.
At this point, I think both of you ought to be ashamed of your actions. Please, let's keep this debate civilized without accusations against the characters of each other or the region, ok?
Czech Germania, Nationific, Ayeinc, Monkelandd, Banq, The Lustrous Ones, Kalderisara
[spoiler]Ah, okay. Sorry if I misunderstood some of your post.
As for that last point, the idea I'm trying to get across is that we should be advertising our region in all its entirety, including its culture and its government. If you were to join the game newly next week and join Thalassia because it doesn't have a constitutional monarchy label, what would happen should you find out that our government is, in effect, a constitutional monarchy? If you stay, then that means there's something else keeping you here. If you leave, that means there's nothing else keeping you. My point, then, is that either way, advertising all of Thalassia is beneficial for you because you know what you're in for at the point of joining.
You don't, under any circumstances, wanna be in a constitutional monarchy? Good, spelling out that Thalassia is a constitutional monarchy will save your time. You don't like constitutional monarchy but want more out of a region than just the governmental aspect? Good, detailing what else Thalassia has to offer, as well as the government of Thalassia being a constitutional monarchy, will save your time and allow you to make the best decision for yourself.
The larger idea here is for our region to be confident in what we wanna be, and to advertise that image of ourselves very vividly for new nations to see so that they can make the most accurate decision they can. An important and especially relevant part of that is describing our government clearly.
So, I get your point, and I realize that I may have done a poor job writing out this concept in my first RMB post on the matter, as in that post, I may have suggested that nations either care only about government or about labels, and don't belong here if Thalassia doesn't fit in with those things, which is a cold, narrow way of looking at things. I apologize for that and think I wrote my ideas out more clearly above in this post.[/spoiler]
I'm going to sleep now, so I'm sorry if I take a long time to respond to any quotes or anything. I hope that in this post I already cleared up some confusion and amended some incorrect statements I may have made.
Nationific, Ayeinc, Arenado, Monkelandd, Tirr Savattstra, The Lustrous Ones
Well its more like alternate future me didnt pay as much attention to the region as I could or should because theres so many, so I never actually gave Thalassia the attention it probably deserved and dismissed it without much thought. Yes if I joined, Im pretty sure my alternate self wouldve still liked Thalassia. There are many regions competing for new players attention so it would be difficult to identify quickly which one would be the best without spending extra time on inspection. Which is why it wouldve likely ended differently.
Anyways great to see that we found common ground. Ill be fine with whatever conclusion the votes bring forward.

I know this is a cosmetic change all of you have did. this More than a hundred times(literally) I have read the constitution and I know that this only changes a title I say why cant we continue to be a full fledged democracy (this is fiercer than politicians in twitter) .
Mornicoder
Exactly, but then as a compromise I would like, at least, a Westminster based system, where the monarch is a ceremonial figurehead.
Toerana Iii, Ayeinc, Arenado, Monkelandd, Holy Land Of Germania
Because we will continue to be a fully fledged democracy. You seem to think Republics are inherently democracies. They are not. We will still be Democratic if this passes, we just won't be a Republic.

I believe I will be changing my vote to yes, as many no voters do not understand the fact that this is a cosmetic change. The arguments are just better overall on the yes side. No matter the results of the referendum, we need to understand something. This region only opened last year, and we have now grown to the 42nd largest IN THE WORLD, and are truly a great region, with a lot of friends.

I understand, and apologize to everyone (especially to Sho). I didn't mean to imply that Thalassia wasn't democratic or that Sho was any sort of tyrant. I genuinely meant "dictatorship" in a strictly dictionary, and I understand that was probably a poor choice of words on my part. It was a stupid, poorly thought-out thing to say, and I'm extremely sorry for it.
Anyway, in light of my actions and the accusations against me, I will withdraw my vote and cease further debate.

[spoiler=B-20 Response]In response to rising cases of B-20 in the nations of The 3Nd German Republic and Maxilains, Prime Minister Roger Lee has authorized the deployment of two Emergency Medical Teams respectively to each nation. EMT One comprising of 25 medical professionals, 15 logistics personnel, and 6 rescue vehicles will be deployed to The 3nd German Republic and plans to arrive within two days of this message. EMT Two, sporting a similar composition of EMT One, will be sent to Maxilains and plans to arrive within the next three days. Roger Lee hopes that the teams will promote international cooperation between the aforementioned countries and that should an outbreak of B-20 reach the shores of Greater New Briton, other countries would be ready to stand by and help.
In regards to concerns of the bacteria infiltrating Greater New Briton, Prime Minister Roger Lee has announced that borders will be closed indefinitely and that all non-essential travel will be forbidden. Diplomatic officials and citizens from foreign countries are exempt from this ruling and further changes will be made should the situation change. From guidelines written by the government of the 3nd German Republic, symptoms of B-20 include: difficulty breathing, coughing, sneezing, and potentially total organ failure. The Prime Minister recently made the remark that "All citizens should be wary of the signs for B-20 and to take all necessary precautions to protect yourself from potentially catching and spreading the disease".

B-20
After the virus originated in Zentata, the Government took a strong stance against it, with the overwhelming support of the populace. The election has been postponed to December, with the (nearly) full assent of Parliament due to the emergency. However, cases of B-20 have dropped to 200, all in the mountain region as of yesterday. Though a lock-down remains in place and travel in and out of Zentata is all but banned, the government has begun to reopen. Lenard Greenglas addressed the population through a mask yesterday: "Through hard work and perseverance, along with cooperation from all, I am glad to announce that we have nearly beat B-20. However, we must stay vigilant, for the fight is not over yet. Though we are slowly going to reopen, we all must practise social distancing as much as possible, and we here at the government are still fighting to ensure that your local businesses can stay alive. Without doubt, we must also help Thalassia, and so we will be sending aid to all who need it, like the rebels in Coalandia who continue to harass the people there, and the nations also afflicted by B-20. I do not wish for a second outbreak, so I am pleading for Zentata to continue to follow guidlines. This war is not over."
Zentata's government has also announced a period of mourning at 10 am tomorrow to recognize the Death of Queen Anna of Maxilains.

This is unrealistic. Some of the fastest bombers can go roughly 670 miles per hour. The means that they should be roughly halfway to Coalandia right now, judging from the map scale, which is in fact probably inaccurate, as the map is probably bigger. That means that there is probably More Distance in between you and Coalandia. At the earliest it should take two hours for the bombers to arrive. Remember, RP Takes place in Real Time (Allowing for people who have conflicts which can result in long meetings (ie: 30 minute meetings that should take days).

Your average speed'll be around 30 knots (seems to be the rough average for destroyers), so I did the math. It'll take about 35 hours. The Fast Attack Vessels will probably stay with the destroyers, but they could go ahead and take around a day (26 hours to be precise, assuming a speed of 40ish knots).

The B-20 Virus numbers have dropped drastically on this day. There are now 46,000 active cases with a lot of recoverys. The Expeditionary force has arrived in the capital of Coalandia. Our aircraft carrier fleet of 2 are 4 hours away from Coalandia along with planes with them. 5 battle ships are at the coast
with helicopters on the 1 helipad per ship. They are executing scouting operations. The landing ships are nearing the capital at around 2 hours away. Long Live the Monarchy!

People also go missing with disturbing frequency. And I don't mean "missing", I mean literally getting lost in the woods and dying is the second highest cause of death, with 17.5%. But there don't seem to be any consequences, so...
Also, Happy Birthday to Sho!

I've got a 68.86% employment rate. And I have a frightening economy.

Ooc: Where's our war torn nation?
Also, can we have a uniform time zone for Thalassia? It's extremely important when roleplaying detailed wars!

the capital is safe. both armies are making a decisive push near Coalandia City.Here we go.

Well, irl times zones are roughly anywhere from 1000ish to 600ish miles apart because of the curvature of the planet. Therefore we should have around 4-6 timezones. For now Thalassia can be in one time zone, but I see no reason why we shouldn't have multiple. (The Greenwich equivalent will likely be in Terra Pacificus) I'm taking a look at it now.
EDIT: CoalandiaRp tags please!

Even if everyone else calls Sho a queen, Im going with the only one true title: the ancient guardian Sho.
Your people must be practicing social distancing and quarantine. (Lel)

It must work pretty well, because I seem to have completely eliminated deadly disease.

After discussion on the discord server, here are the time zones of Thalassia. This is not currently canon, as the finer details are still being worked on. I'd like your feedback from those who are only on here. The Borders are pretty much set, but other then that we can talk about semantics, etc: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1371086

The Monkeish Gurri Nova Communico (New Communist Forces) has begun and insurgency in 6 cities across Monkelandd. Polizia Nationale have released a statement saying these revolutionaries are linked to the Coalandian insurgencies and that there have been fatalities.
Deputy Commissioner Arlisso: "We have reason to believe that the so-called 'New Communist Forces' are linked to the insurgency in Coalandia. The attacks in 6 cities across Monkelandd have resulted in a total of 4 fatalities, 7 in critical condition and 18 with minor injuries. The National Police and Emergency Security office now recognises the so-called 'New Communist Forces' as a terror organisation."
BREAKING:
The PM has declared that Monkelandd will send 15 L-161 Stealth Fighters and 120 SAF forces to New Dover, as this has become "A Monkeish matter"

A second wave German bombers have bombed the communists in Coalandia and this time are focusing the bombing runs on enemy concrete bunkers to weaken their defenses and a German force of 25,000 thousand men are being sent to Coalandia but they will be there at different times.

A few hours ago, a partisan-terrorist anarcho-communist group,
Bevrijdingsfront Maxilains, was caught in the sewers in Harpijsberg
(where they most likely had a hideout) as they prepared for some sort
of assault or terrorist attack.
The whole matter was reported by a resident of Harpijsberg, Hank Vanderweelt,
who reported to the police the unbearable noise coming from sewage.
It is worth noting that the group has never revealed itself before and it would be their first attack.
Bevrijdingsfront Maxilains leader Josef Mengele-Cruijff will be executed shortly after an official
trial and his associates will be sentenced to life imprisonment or, if they are recognized
as a crown witness, the sentence will be reduced to 10 years in house arrest.

How do people die in my nation as acts of god I am a spiritual nation but how do they die? Sacrificing themselves to God?

As the poll has passed, moving the organization into an area I never initially signed up for, I will respectfully withdraw my nation from Thalassia. Thanks for the help, kind words, and support!

Libertin I beg you not too leave. We shall keep democracy. And too everyone else, we lost 2 people since this poll began. On the other hand this is my overview, enjoy it I guess. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1371272
Mornicoder, Zentata, Monkelandd, The 3Nd German Republic
Why? Nothing has changed at all. We are still democratic, and effectively not different then when you came here.

Heres a update on my B-20 report.
Zentata, Nitra-Silesia
Bah. All these nations see is "Monarchy" and "Change." They see nothing of "Literally nothing about us will change, it's all cosmetic." Then they leave.
Zeneslav, for one, supports this new amendment and furthermore, supports Thalassia no matter what government it has.
Nationific, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata, Portugal And Great Britannia
Ehh its fine. Thalassia has changed only cosmetically, and some people are leaving solely for cosmetic preferences.
If I didnt involve myself much in the regions activities like I am now, Id likely be gone too. But this place is chill, I like it here, and Id rather not start over so im still here.
I got curious about this and did a quick search, this forum thread may help: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=392190

I dont see the reason to leave, that recruitment letter was the 5th most convincing, after being in other HORRIBLE regions i see this great region give it a try, here I am. I really doubt that if you leave because of that cosmetic amendment, you will need to reread our Thalassian values

A monarchy title just doesnt look nice for some people. I understand where some people come from when they think [country name] is a part of a regional monarchy just doesnt sound as nice as [country name] is a part of a regional republic or something. Trivial maybe, but everyone values things differently.
Its honestly just a matter of personal preference and if they leave, it meant they were okay with losing out on whatever Thalassia can offer. It should be in the extension of Thalassias values to respect the decision of its members whether they choose to leave or stay. Even if we want other members to understand your point of view, they still have to make the decision on their own.
Besides, if an ex-member nation only finds inferior regions that match your experiences, they can always come back.

To be honest, I think this region should add more democratic individuals, not just people who want a constitutional monarchy. We should also have a legislature in my opinion.

How we have fun as region is that we respect other people want to make their their country a monarchy just because your nation is a democracy doesnt mean its deserve something better than a country that picks monarchies. If you disagree quote me and tell me what you think.
