Region: The Mystical Council
I just stumbled upon Paraguay and saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SKaGRC6xgE&feature=youtu.be
Best Anti Communist NS Propaganda iv'e ever seen i have requested an embassy with them.
New Bacon
My campaign again.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=exotic_lemon/detail=factbook/id=663434
Forestavia, New Bacon, Malcholm
I deleted some, hopefully that helps.
New Bacon
But they are Sacred Texts :P
New Bacon
I keep them in a microsoft word, they are not gone forever. If anyone needs them I can bring them back.
New Bacon, Order Of Hospitallers
Well, well, well. Look at this! Are you feelin' the Lemon?
Malcholm, Plugo
I love the NS themes.
Just went over to conservative.nationstates.net and i love the reclassifications XD.

I'm gonna check it out.
Wow.
lol!

Malcholm
What am I?
I have the Mystical Capitalizt Party (the one you're the founder of) and also The Solidarity Bloc.
New York Crimes So-Called Democracy

Are all the votes made for the Write-In Candidate option towards Exotic Lemon known for certain? If not, [nation=short]Forestavia[/nation] please contact everyone in there, in a group telegram who hasn't explicitly stated that they are voting to Exotic, just to make sure that they are in fact voting Exotic and not for themselves or some other candidate not on the list.
Forestavia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
They are.
Just the capitalizt :P
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=naumadal/detail=factbook/id=608752 not on there
Could every political party add "tags" to themselfs?
Just like under the member list have "
Tags:
Libertarian, Capitalist, (whatever etc)"
Like NS tags so people know more about the party and its ideology.
Like the solidarity bloc would probably have eco friendly, socialist and a few others.
The capitalizt would have capitalist, libertarian etc.
Malcholm
I have no idea..... I'm not sure why I put you with the Bloc.
Tumetu-Iin Noyan
Another dispatch updated. Wahoo! :)
http://www.nationstates.net/page=lodge_dispatch
Bad linking game bro.
Forestavia, Tumetu-Iin Noyan
The info center has so much info it should be updated more reguarly
That's not a bad idea actually. Sort of a snapshot of what the party stands for could be useful.
Malcholm, Tumetu-Iin Noyan
I wonder who [nation=short]AU912_Mystical Council Consulate[/nation] is going to vote for
Ahhhhhh! I'm going crazy!
I wanted to link to the regional government under the info center.
I do my best. What can I say? If there is anything anyone spots that needs to be updated, just shoot me a telegram. My big update this week was the Sentagon list.
New Bacon, Plugo
I love the flag, Noyan. :)
New Bacon, Tumetu-Iin Noyan, Exotic Lemon
Lol thanks.
I read your anti authoritarian post.
And i've decided i will be voting third party this year.
New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
Donald being president would be a corporate police state.
Hillary being president would be a Scandinavian liberal paradise.
Gary being president would be capitalizt.
Forestavia, New Bacon
Your close to having enough influence to banject turtle
My favorite post this campaign:
Here you see an average citizen standing at a voting booth with very little power to wield. Little does Lemon know that in a few short hours they too will find themselves in the midst of leading a campaign and possibly winning an election that can only take place in.... the twilight zone.
[music plays]
Malcholm
I am voting for Trump. But I am secretly hoping that Gary Johnson makes it to the debates. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012.
New Bacon, Malcholm
I could have banned turtle days ago. I'm going straight for the hidden. Then I'll switch the delegacy with either Pyrosky or Hospitallers and they can ban turtle.
Wait, should we be talking about this on the RMB? Is it safe?
Malcholm
How much more you need for the hidden?
after you passcode it pyrosky should be delegate since he has like 60+ more influence then hosp.
Gary Johnson has the same chance as being the next American president as my balls. This is not a statement about the presidential skills of Gary Johnson or my testicles, but merely the probability, at this point, of either leading the United States.
-President Chef's Balls.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Just to let you all know that my activity may be spotty this week due to lightning hitting my house. I am ok but very shaken just to let everyone know.
Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
Just take it easy
Exotic Lemon
I have no clue. But the anticipation is killing me. I keep telling myself that it's worth the wait.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoLoyg3JKRQ
Banning turtle takes 50% of my influence.
Visible password takes 80% of my influence.
And the hidden is just out of reach.
*slits wrists*
Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Plugo
Ok, I hope the damage wasn't too bad.
New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
Well the Lightning got the kitchen area, all of the kitchen appliances are gone and my tv exploded that was about it. Luckily my house didn't burn down. The fire department did check everything.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=exotic_lemon/detail=factbook/id=663434
Slightly updated. Thanks to New Bacon for helping getting it to work.
New Bacon, Malcholm
If there is a tie in the vote, do we solve it with a second round of votes between the tied candidates, or a debate?
Forestavia
Well then do I just have for you my favorite song from the 90's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM&ab_channel=acdcVEVO
Probably another election except just between the two people who tied, no other options.
Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Conisdering we have a day and three hours left, and your already predicting the outcome id say you think the people in this region are sane
Rrepaimziaraseh, Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Tumetu-Iin Noyan, Order Of Hospitallers, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
Yeah I should really stop expecting sanity.
Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Tumetu-Iin Noyan, Order Of Hospitallers, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
Just lodged my write in vote. It is for Exotic lemon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDN45bUQZWY
Oakplumington, Plugo, Exotic Lemon
I was unaware I have my own song.
Plugo
I do have my own exotic lemonade though.
Aye lad. It's a good one too. BTW do links not work in this forum? Or do I have to add some kind of old school scripting? Plugo is the NS expert in our family. I'm just a an issue clicker.
There is a way, I just forgot how. Ask Plugo or forestavia, they are both good with that kinda stuff.
My Write-In vote is for Exotic Lemon
Oakplumington, Plugo, Exotic Lemon
You're very welcome
Exotic Lemon
Oh yeah and happy Lucernism Day! It's July 19th! Hahaha!
Malcholm, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
Thats one of the religions from Vedans time right?
New Bacon, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
[nation=short]exotic_lemon[/nation] move a puppet in TSO.
Looks like someone refounded it.
Not sure who did it, but they are using the flag of the Central Pacific Empire.
on it.
done. I dont know who that person is, I though it was an alt of alphas.
Plugo
Could be, i have no clue who it is
Yup
FYI, About the current poll:
See the ANTICOM Alliance Act here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=575091
CURRENT:
required: Democratic, Capitalist
illegal: Anti-Capitalist, Communist, Fascist
optional: Anti-Communist, Anti-Fascist
optional, discouraged: Socialist
PROPOSED:
required: Democratic, Anti - Communist
illegal: Anti-Capitalist, Communist
optional: Anti-Fascist, Fascist, Capitalist
optional, discouraged: Socialist
Oakplumington, Tumetu-Iin Noyan, Plugo
Regarding the new poll, does making the Anti - Communist tag (or really any tag for that matter) compulsory mean:
a) No one single person can remove that tag in the future, without the collective majority agreement of the government.
or
b) No one single person can remove that tag in the future, even if a majority, or the whole, of the government wants to remove it
I am completely for (a) but completely against (b) so I require more information to make a decisive vote.
New Bacon, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Plugo
I mean we are changing the tags now so if a few people in the government want to change it they can.
The compulsory means that no single person can remove it, but if wished their can be a vote to remove it.
New Bacon, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Plugo
@ Hospitallers and AU912
Good work on the poll and on the post above. I like how everything is clearly outlined so that everyone can see what's going on.
Exotic Lemon
From the original law:
[spoiler=section 6]6. The following tags will be required (no nation can remove them without amending this law): Democratic, Capitalist.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=section 14]14. This law may be amended by two branches of government.
[/spoiler]
So compulsory means that two branches of government can still change it in the future if desired.
Congratulations to Exotic Lemon! It's always interesting to see a successful write-in campaign. :)
Malcholm, Tumetu-Iin Noyan, Exotic Lemon
I am voting against the amendment only because of the fascist tag alteration. As a proud member of Sentagon, I wish to keep our region free from tyranny of all colors and shades. But beyond this we are in complete agreement with the changes and would back the amendment otherwise.
Malcholm, Illfated
Yep, Second round of votes.
For more details read
[spoiler=section 14 of the constitution]
14. Assuming that all vacancies are filled, one council seat shall be up for election every full moon. Elections should last for at least four days prior to the full moon. In the event of a election tie, there will be a two-day runner-up vote where the bottom performing candidates are eliminated. If there is still a tie, then Sentagon shall hold a two-day vote to break the tie. WA Sentagon members will get two votes in this situation since they are voting within Sentagon. If there is still a tie, the President of Sentagon will break the tie. If the President of Sentagon is not active, then the Secretary Delegate (who is also a member of Sentagon) will break the tie. If the Secretary Delegate is not active, then the influence accumulated by the candidates while in the region will be the deciding factor. If after all this, even the influence between the candidates is equal then length of residence in the region shall be the final deciding factor as to who wins the election.

I know this is late but in celebration of our first regional holiday.....
[B][U][I]HAPPY LUCERNISM DAY!!!!!

We need volunteers to help patch any holes in the barrier. This year, show your regional pride on Lucernism Day by strengthening this invisible barrier. We also need volunteers to set up shrines so that the people may offer prayers to the Lucernist Gods. Remember - without our divine protection we would all go insane.
New Bacon
Yes I agree Fascist should stay illegal. Totally agree that Capitalistic should be optional. If Socialism is just discouraged how can that be required?
Forestavia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
We ought to form an alliance among ourselves and other Sentagon members to stand firm against it.

[nation=short]Order of Hospitallers[/nation],
Welcome to Sentagon. It is an honor to have you amongst our membership.
New Bacon
Then I vote yes.
New Bacon
No tags should be illegal except communist.
Even with the fascist tag legal the current government would not approve such a thing.
New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
[nation=short]exotic_lemon[/nation] welcome to the council.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Exotic Lemon
What tyranny is their to oppose?
Forestavia, New Bacon, Rondaland
The fascist tag is making my vote difficult as that is making that optional instead of illegal. I do understand that there are some countries that like to be fascist and may add the tag. As long as it doesn't destroy the alliance with [region=ANTICOM] then I'm good.
Forestavia
Thanks so much! As part of my campaign, https://www.nationstates.net/nation=exotic_lemon/detail=factbook/id=663434, I promised more democracy, After this ANTI COM poll is done, I request we vote on my new proposal https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=665081
Multeric People
I think it'd be wise to only include the "33% of nations" point on that proposal. There's currently no bars to creating a regionally recognised political party, so your second point allows any two nations to decide that they didn't like the outcome of a poll and issue a referendum.
New Bacon
It completely undermines the first point. That, and the third point seems unnecessary..the issue you posed with this proposal is that it would allow the people (of Sentagon) to make a decision on an issue voted on by the Lunar Council alone. Thus, it doesn't really make sense to create a condition in which a majority of officers can issue referendum, as just about any nation can be an officer. That said, I'm the only technical officer right now, as everyone else is listed under some constitutionally recognised government position.
New Bacon, Rondaland
..unless you mean to include that the Lunar Council would be able to issue it's own referendum.
New Bacon
How would you determine if there are 33% saying something on a subject? Would there be a preliminary poll, about making another poll? How would this work?
A nation will ask their party members/friends to see if they want something changed. If enough say yes, then they can request a redo. I am also lowering it to 25%
The lunar council doesn't really have any private folders or anything.
New Bacon
Just seems like the tag restrictions have nothing to do with anticom and are actually just a way for the founder to restrict our tags :P
Forestavia, New Bacon
Post self-deleted by Rondaland.
Once this vote is over we will remain with out the tag.
The simple restriction of having the tag is the problem i think.
I however am drafting a piece of legislation which will remove us from anticom.
It was once a powerful organizaation now its just useless
I just tried to bring more democracy to the region. In my campaign I promised more, but if you guys like it the way it is I won't try to fix something that isn't broken
The basic premise of it is great, the execution is a bit gimmicky though, but I think it can workout.
Also I think [nation=short]Malcholm[/nation] made a good point here about the political parties https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=20381117 I suggest that instead of simply the leaders of at least 2 political parties, it has to be the leaders of at least 2 political parties, that collectively at least 25% of our nations are members of said parties.
Exotic Lemon
Ok then but before I approve or veto I will think this through. ;)
Anyone know what the gold things around the eagle are called?
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/althistory/images/2/2b/Flag_of_the_Russian_Empire.png/revision/latest?cb=20120810175241
I am trying to make a new flag and i want to include those things in it, but i don't know what they are called.
Exotic Lemon
I believe that is wheat. Indicating that much of their production came from this product.
you sure? i see it on many flags.
examples:

I think that is a type of laurel wreath, though i am not sure which type or the name.
I assume you want to make your own version of the top middle version in this picture?
http://st.depositphotos.com/1732591/2725/v/950/depositphotos_27257373-Wreath-set-wreath-collection-laurel.jpg
Or the one on the east german flag?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Flag_of_East_Germany.svg/2000px-Flag_of_East_Germany.svg.png
Malcholm
The east german one is a rye encircle, but i don't know of any way to get a transparent image of the encircle, or a way to make your own.
Apparently, both wheat and laurel wreaths, which look similar, are both used on flags.
