Region: The Mystical Council
I'll figure out what that means later. I am not fluent in binary code.
Malcholm, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Just look up a translater it's easy.:) Iapotnbasotrf.;)
Hm. Still very murky....
What does it mean?
Illfated, Civilisunio
First letter of every word that is translated from the binary text.;)
Malcholm, Illfated
I assumed that much.
Malcholm, Civilisunio
I suspected so. I will give you a link. Have fun. Stay suspicious.
Forestavia, Malcholm
Oh, don't worry. I am very suspicious right now.
Civilisunio

Forestavia
My question is what does the acronym stand for? I see the letters trf at the end.
And I also find it ironic that your nation's title is "Patriotic Citizen" in the midst of what appears to be a betrayal. But nothing is making sense to me right now.
Malcholm, Illfated, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
To the Region
This is your Emperor speaking. It appears that strange things are happening in our world. We should be extra vigilant in the days to come. We face potential threats from both zombies and the fleeters. Our region could be at risk. But I believe that luck is always on our side. With your help and dedication we can pull through anything.
Malcholm, Illfated, Parakka Northland
I am part of the Nautical brothers and Sisters of the red fleet..... Soon I hope.;)
*Drops tea on the floor in shock*
That's it!
It is only due to our steadfast principles to democracy and freedom that I allow you to stand there and make a mockery of this region. You haven't done anything against our regional laws yet. But slip up once and I'll have you tried as the commie spy you are!
*scratches head nervously*
Malcholm, Illfated, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
I hate that [nation=short]Civilisunio[/nation] lets have him killed by the angry mob so that he can burn in the firey pits of hell!
Forestavia, Malcholm
We must pull our endorsements from him to protect the region!
Malcholm, Civilisunio
No, we are not a violent people. We must do this the democratic way.
Malcholm, Civilisunio
Yes let's do that! Kill him!Kill him! He must burn!
Fine I suppose. Will there be a execution of found guilty?
Maybe... Depends on the Lunar Council's ruling, which you are part of now.
*Tosses ring toward him*
Malcholm, Civilisunio
Oh my gosh. This is H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. I never had the intent to join the red fleet. It was all a social prank that I pushed a little too far. Goodness. I should be an actor or something that was good performance. What did you think successfull or not?
Forestavia, Malcholm
Post self-deleted by Forestavia.
Ah-ha! Yes you could be a good actor. You had me fooled. Oh my goodness, these pranks. What will this region think of next???
Malcholm, Civilisunio
One day they are going to raid is and then say, "It was just a prank!". Now I have to organise my apologies to Bunicken and get them to realize I am not a raider and I didn't give trf the password.:/
Malcholm
He gave away our password!Not much of a prank
Illfated, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Good luck with that.
Civilisunio
Ask them. I don't even know them. I even went to the region and they suppressed me because they smelt somethin fishy. Go ahead ask them if I have them the password.
Hm.
*Sips tea suspiciously*
Civilisunio
I just said I didn't. Hm. Maybe I shouldn't do many more of those pranks. I am in a predicament now. *Civ rubs his chin in fear that they actually took the prank seriously*
Barishmacht
We aren't that stupid.You can't just do something and then say it was just a prank
Illfated, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Whatever just ask trf if I actually have them the password to clear this up.
Forestavia, Illfated, Lampar
I don't think the Red Fleet would respond to them.
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Especially about an operation that involved them.
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Alright. I'll talk to Caelapes and see if that gets us anywhere. You better pray for a miracle though. It isn't looking good for you.
Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
I'm not sure what I can do to knock it off, and please do tell me if there's something wrong I'm doing. I WANT people to tell exactly what their problem is with me, instead just holding a grudge and having a horrible attitude about it.
I just asked the same question that you did, but [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation] seems to have a very poor and disrespectful attitude with me, and here's the kicker, he has not explained why he has been behaving in such a childish manner.
The postion of the minister of domestic affairs is conflict resolution. He is literally doing the exact opposite of what his job is.
It is clear now that not only I find his disrespectful answers extremely unsatisfactory. That is why he must apologize and explain his behavior; otherwise you must tabulate a vote on whether or not he should be removed from office, and have him replaced with another person who solves domestic issues, rather than create them.
Fat chance there Forest I think..... also this is rather concerning.
Let us know what happens
I wonder what Caelapes will say?
Illfated, Parakka Northland
I'm trying to put this so it makes sense and doesn't annoy anyone. Your questions where fine, and nothing wrong with asking questions at all. However, due to the way the conversation progressed it basically turned into two individuals bickering. In that you were not getting the answers you wanted which was frustrating you so you basically said so, which resulted in a frustrated reply (I am trying to be diplomatic here) and so the conversation progressed down that path.
I would rather if people are not getting anywhere when asking questions and it's obvious that the other person doesn't seem to be cooperating that you ask either myself, the founder or Prime Minister to ask the question and get a reply. Yes this might take longer to get the answer and yes it is stupid that people might have to resort to this.
Forestavia, Republic Of Greater Cuba
Alright, but isn't his job by definition conflict resolution? If he's doing the exact opposite of that, how can this be addressed?
I would agree with your assessment on the job role. I would ask our esteemed Prime Minister [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] to ask that question
Forestavia, Barishmacht, Illfated, Civilisunio
And let me make one thing clear, my main problem is not that he has some unknown issue with me. My main problem is how he is handling it.
So this is a message to the whole region: If you gotta a problem with me or anyone else, express your issue as exactly and quickly as you can. Don't hold it in as a grudge; this will only make you angrier and escalate things. Express yourself as clearly as you can, as this will help us reach a resolution much quicker.
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Anyone have any ideas on what we should do for Zday?
I think we should lock the region.
We had decided to take the horde stance, so we should keep them open, maybe attack other regions.
THEY WILL ALL KNOW THE WRATH OF THE MYSTICAL COUNCIL!
Forestavia, Lampar, Parakka Northland
Oh ok.
Can you go into better depth of how this works. This is my first Zday.
Parakka Northland
Yea, can someone please re pin it? I wanted to read more about it, but it looks like mugwop vetoed the prime ministers decision to do it, which shouldn't be possible btw
Barishmacht
Uh, yeah.
That's unconstitutional and breaking the law.
Sorry "Lord" Mugwop, but you're under arrest for that.
Barishmacht
Apparently he gave the bunicken password to the fleeters..
Parakka Northland
? Is that some sort of sarcastic comment?
Alistia, Barishmacht, Lampar
He then proceeded to send his puppet to the Internationale to prove he's innocent.
Alistia, Illfated
Nope.
Exotic lemon was put on trial for breaking the constitution. (which we don't have)
The only real law that you can break, is doing something with consent of the Lunar Council. Which is what Mugwop did.
Barishmacht
Not saying mugwort should be punished for unpinning it, but it is very stupid that he undid the prime ministers decision for no valid reason, especially since many of us wanted to learn more about the alliance by reading it (like me, which I can't do since it's unpinned)
I also liked civ, but not anymore, especially since there was military planning within some of our government officers talking about what to do in bunicken.
Alistia, Barishmacht
Barishmacht
He shouldn't even have the authority over the Prime Minister to unpin the ICT.
Alistia, Barishmacht, Illfated
Yeah, there should be some respect of the chain of command, or at least mugwop coulda asked why it was pinned to [nation=short]alistia[/nation], who pinned it, instead of quarreling with barish
Alistia, Barishmacht
Prime Minister has more authority then Grand Duke.
I can't do anything about it, but Barish can.
Alistia, Barishmacht
I try to do something about it but my authority seems to be non existent sometimes.
Alistia, Lampar
Then take your case to the Lunar Council.
With all this proof, you should surely win your case.
*Lampar realizes he's the regional enforcer*
Barishmacht
im gonna cuss you out on discord @cilvilisunio
Republic Of Greater Cuba, Civilisunio
For what? Also it is [nation=short]civilisunio[/nation].
Alistia
This is why we need a constitution. So that powers and chains of command are defined and respected.
By the way, how is the constitutional draft coming along, [nation=short]New Bacon[/nation]?
Barishmacht, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Here's the thing: we don't have a constitution. We only have decrees. Now as far as I can tell. This (see < https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=642978 >) seems to comply with the decrees as far as I know, but we should pass a constitution and then pass the treaty as a constitutional amendment first. I would strongly urge nations to take note of the requirements this treaty would place upon us.
Forestavia, Barishmacht, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Illfated, Parakka Northland
Post self-deleted by Barishmacht.
Should any member-region be found to have taken part in a raid after the ratification of this treaty, they are to be ejected forthwith from the ICTO.
So what I am getting from this is that we will be signing a completely defensive treaty and we cant really raid anything after it is signed?
Forestavia, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Illfated
Pretty much
All I asked was what does the dispatch have to do with us, and [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation] flipped over.
I mean look at this, is this rude?
And Civ even said
To which I first replied
But he just went into insane mode when I asked him to help me understand... why?
No one was saying why the dispatch was pinned, who pinned it, and if it is actually being discussed by the goverment that we should join the treaty.
[nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation] seemed to have known something about it, but he acted in an extremely rude and childish behavior, and refused to clarify anything about. He expected me to understand everything there's from his extremely disrespectful comments, even though when when [nation=short]Parakka_Northland[/nation] came online he had the same questions that I had and it was clear that [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation] immature answers had shed no light whatsoever on the nature of the dispatch.
His job in the region is resolve domestic issues, that's the exact definition of it, and instead of that he was doing the exact opposite of that. So I removed the dispatch pending that we know what it's all about.
Later on.
Then [nation=short]Kazukame[/nation], our minister of foreign affairs, put his two cents about this. I highly recommend reading this post, [B]in which I also pointed out that if this dispatch is in fact under offical discussion by our goverment, I would be happy to pin it myself[/B]:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=22091349
Notice how Kazukame answered the question to the best of his ability, in a proper and civil manner. Put him in contrast with [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation], and Barishmacht would look like an absolute lunatic.
Right now, I am doing his job, I am trying to solve domestic issues. I am trying to figure why he is behaving like that. If I was the problem, I would expect Kazukame, Parakka, and Civ to have the same attitude that Bar has with me, but they don't. They all have rational conversations with me, even when they disagree. Even you [nation=short]Illfated[/nation], you call my actions stupid, but you give a concise and direct opinion about why you think so. You don't just act mad and condescending and expect me to figure what's wrong with you.
That is why I brought this forward
In the event that [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation] continues on his destructive behavior of acting as the anti-minister of domestic affairs, and our possible need to find a better minister to replace him, and [nation=short]Parakka_Northland[/nation] agrees that he is not behaving appropriately.
[B]So [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation][/B], you can still fix this, I'm doing your job now, help resolve this domestic issue. Be frank with me, what exactly is the problem that you have? Why are you acting like this? You said this might be about a question you asked and I didn't answer. If that's what it's about, please, ask again and I will do my best to answer. If that's not your problem, then please tell me exactly what it is so we can work on fixing it. I am extending a hand to you, stop being so angry and help me understand your problem.
I have received this telegram from [nation=short]decrovia[/nation]
I was simply looking through the embassies that had ties to The bar at the end of every region, hoping to find interesting sounding regions so that I could expand my own regions influence (not in a "takeover" kind of way, just in a "people know of us" way). If you do not wish to open up an embassy with my region I understand.
Barishmacht, Republic Of Greater Cuba
This message is about the The Ankur Phae Conglomerate embassy request
No more flaming in the RMB. Take it to telegrams.
What's your take on them? To me they seem alright.
I'm not flaming, I'm asking you a question to figure out what's wrong with you:
"So Barishmacht, you can still fix this, I'm doing your job now, help resolve this domestic issue. Be frank with me, what exactly is the problem that you have? Why are you acting like this? You said this might be about a question you asked and I didn't answer. If that's what it's about, please, ask again and I will do my best to answer. If that's not your problem, then please tell me exactly what it is so we can work on fixing it. I am extending a hand to you, stop being so angry and help me understand your problem."
If you want to answer that in a telegram, then by all means do so. Just work with me to resolve your problem instead of just holding a grudge.
I told you to stop flaming. I am within my authority.
Illfated
I feel we can accept the request but let's wait to what others in the regional government thinks.
Barishmacht, Illfated, Parakka Northland
I am trying to fix the issue between us. I am extending the friendly helping hand. Why are you acting like this?
You do not fix issues by causing conflict. Now, stop it or we take it to the Council.
Illfated
This is actually geting entertaining for me to watch
Barishmacht, Illfated, Parakka Northland
the arguing
Barishmacht, Illfated, Parakka Northland
How is extending the friendly helping hand and asking you about your problem, causing conflict?
I am trying to be friendly here and turn the other cheek. I ask you this again, why are you acting like this?
We are less than 18 hours out and will be embracing the horde.
I am recommending that nations wishing to cure zombies move to one of the following regions:
- Au912 Zombie Survival Bunker (modern, postmodern, and postapocalyptic nations especially welcome)
- Nidavellir (fantasy, steampunk, etc. nations especially welcome)
- https://www.nationstates.net/page=tag_search/type=region/censusid=255/tag=z-day_researcher
I am recommending that nations wishing to fight zombies are advised to move to one of the following regions:
- https://www.nationstates.net/page=tag_search/type=region/censusid=255/tag=z-day_exterminator
- https://www.nationstates.net/page=tag_search/type=region/censusid=255/tag=z-day_free-for-all

Kazukame, Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Republic Of Greater Cuba
Eh, your missing out a few good things. We Americans are nice when we aren't talking about Murican football or politics
Forestavia, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
First I was disappointed that those two were your main candidates, then I was angry, then I was sad, and now I am enjoying America slowly set itself on fire. It's fun to watch from a distance.
Kazukame, Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Illfated
Do you like America?
Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
I think at last check, the confidence rating for both top candidates was below 35%, meaning that the plurality of the American people doubt any candidate is qualified to be president.
Malcholm, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Illfated
Well it's a broad question. It's a country with hundreds of millions so there are countless things to like and things to not like.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
foreign policy
In many elections that is the case, but those who get the highest approval rating, though it might not be a majority, those highest rated candidates are not so bad as Clinton and Trump (at least as far as first world countries go)
Oh I loathe that.
Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Do you think that another country should "take over" America's foreign presence, like Russia or Britain?
In reality, if America was to fall and was not quickly rebuilt then a whole lot of bad things would happen to the rest of the world.
Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, Illfated
No one should take over that position. There's the UN and that's that. I don't think the world needs a single country trying to play sheriff of the whole planet.
Malcholm, Republic Of Greater Cuba, Illfated
But ain't the UN as funcitional as a cat with 193 heads?
Forestavia, Malcholm
Still better than 1 cat playing big brother.

Information on this treaty issue will be posted shortly along with informed opinions from our various ministers. However, if you want to simply read the treaty look back though the RMB it has been linked a few times if that helps
He did ask but from what it reads he never got an answer
Thank you for your assesssmnet on the situation.
I believe the Solar Alliance will either be fighting or curing the zombies but who knows haha
Treaty has been repinned after it became clear that there was some goverment talks about. And I did actually get a proper informative answer later on, but of course it was not from Barishmacht.
Also, how about we create a zombie war? We try to infect the Solar Alliance, and the Solar Alliance tries to eradicate our zombies. It should be a fun exercise.
Civilisunio
Yeah I know it kinda over stretches the cat analogy but it's never a good idea with a nation trying to be the top guy. It always ends up eventually with cold wars and hot wars and colonies and this and that. It's always a bad idea in the end.
Republic Of Greater Cuba
Okie dokie
Shoot off that suggestion to the Solar Alliance Delegate and see what he says as that might be fun :)
I dislike USA'S double standards. Who are they to lecture the rest of the world on equality, poverty and peace? They have none of these things. The US government acts as if they are the best and most efficient. I just don't like that. But I do like ordinary US citizens who are like me. They are very straightforward. And obviously very hardworking.
