Region: The Mystical Council
I've somewhat started to do that myself; not due to anything in my life, but just to improve the quality of what I'm doing.
Also, I'm back from Haiti. It was pretty cool.
Thank you and I've been well.
You know puppets can be tiresome and interfere with daily routine. I pretty much try to stick with maintaining one nation. :)
Make sure you claim your areas on the map once the map is posted
Beaver Moon elections coming up in New Bacon. Question will New Bacon have a Newly formed congress December 1st? The Beaver Moon Election will take place soon!!
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Welcome back! What's Haiti like? Anything of particular note?
Monotheistic Deities
I agree with both of you. I think simplicity is a much better strategy. I'm only going to RP from Forestavia and Oakplumington. My other two puppets will just serve as influence security.
Monotheistic Deities
I would like a location where there are caves. Lots of caves. Plum Oakton is going to have to hide out for awhile when he returns because everyone will be mad that he left in the middle of the multiple zombosis outbreak. ;)
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Awesomely terrifying. Dunno about the rest of my group, but I was actually pretty enthused with the lack of political apathy in Haiti. They'd burn tires in the streets, throw rocks, etc. because their candidate wasn't polling well. Not that I'd want that sort of behavior here in America, but it was intriguing nonetheless. The police wouldn't necesarily 'stop' it if it got out of hand, but if it got bad to the point where people started dying they'd intervene. Most of the police force or any sort of armed guard carried around a shotgun, but a lot of them were actually really nice people from what I encountered. The thing I hated most, however, had to be the number of people pandering for money because we're foreigners. My poor old grandmother was like a magnet for people trying to sell cheap soveniers and trinkets; frankly it was obnoxious, but I understand the need to sell thing to earn a meager living.
The only thing I could think about while I was there was the trash that was everywhere; it's not as bad as any of the Asian island nations, but it was almost breathtaking. Simply picking up and properly disposing of trash would vastly improve the state of the cities and environment, but no one seems to care all that much.
Other than that, the trip was great; even the part where I rode up and down a mountain on top of a dump truck/cargo transport type vehicle, clinging to the edges for dear life.
Also, I'll be letting TRFVA CTE. It's fine to remove it from the Interregional Council, if you'd like.
Oakplumington I may put you on China since you wanted many caves. I think China has the most caves in the world so I'll put you on China as your land area. New Bacon is role playing USA its territories and Labrador(Newfoundland). Labrador is the imaginary 51st state of New Bacon.
Make sure you claim the areas on the map that you would like!!!! I posted the first version of my map on the factbook-- although it may need some revising.
Monotheistic Deities
Hello!
I would like the entire map thanks :)
Oakplumington
Oh no!!!!! Our region has been raided!!! I'm not the delegate at this point! They overthrown my position as delegate!!!!
They messesd up everything including the flag!! I have no powers at this point although when I regain delegate status I'll try to restore the regional flag and everything ; again we have been raided!!!! They overthrown my position as delegate and messed up some things.
I say banChingislan or whatever his name may be!!!! Vote on it Lunar Council!! He has did things against the mystical council regulations!!!!
He has, canceled the welcome telegram for the council by Oakplumington
He has, obstructed the delegate position
He has, revoked the embassy posting prove lives
He Has, altered and abolished the regional flag
He has, dismissed all regional officers including me
He has, violated the name of the constitution of the mystical council
No you don't have the entire map you are a raider anyway you overthrown all positions in the region!
That Vandoosa nation also needs to be banned because the Vandoosa nation is responsible for endorsing ChingisLan
Oakplumington is is the Council's ninth delegate make sure you record that. CHINGISLAN this is what happens when you step into positions like these you get recorded.
So we need to decide on whether to ban ALL of Nugut or just ban the nation's stated.
YES!!!! :) We got raided! This is so exciting! Let's see what we got happening here....
Just got the following telegram from Bad Defence. Our region should vote on it:
"I was just wondering whether you would like your region to become part of The Unified Regional Network. It is a region that is attempting to bring many regions together to try and unite all the regions in nation states. Could you let me know if you would like to join?"
Well it takes council vote and approval by executive which I'm not at the moment-- once I regain delegate status, then I'll create a poll. All of our council members also need to be put back in place. I won't become the delegate again until 1 AM my time. Also the WFE I'll restore as well. Our government has been overthrown hahaha. Also Oakplumington China is what I have down for you.
Oakplumington
You said you wanted lots of caves so China would be feasible because of all the mountains--there would be plenty of caves in China.
Also check out the Facebook that is pinned to the WFE that says mystical council map
Oakplumington
Hahaha! That's funny.
Hey Chingislan, you should negotiate for less land maybe New Bacon will give you some. What are you going to do from here? You wanna hang with us?
The Ninth Delegate of The Mystical Council
9. Chingislan: 11/21/2015 - Present
After serving an impressive record of 112 days as Delegate, New Bacon was replaced by Chingislan. During this time New Bacon served on the Lunar Council. Chingislan had the support of Nugut and Cimmeria. Cimmeria was given credit for the raid. The following nations supported Chingislan's run for office: Vandoosa Zweiundfunfzig, Kocalet, and Jegerkompaniet. Chingislan wasted no time in resigning from the world assembly indicating that New Bacon would most likely return to the Delegacy as the region's tenth delegate.
The following unconstitutional actions were taken by Chingislan:
1. Several posts were suppressed without cause.
2. Lunar Council members were illegally stripped of their authority.
3. Embassy regions were prevented from posting on the regional message board.
Under the leadership of Chingislan, the welcome telegram was abolished. The flag and world factbook entry were altered.
Monotheistic Deities
The only things I really have an issue with here is the revocation of embassy posting and taking away the authority of the Lunar Council (dismissal of regional officers) and suppressing posts.
Everything else Chingislan did is perfectly legal as far as I can tell.
Don't worry everyone. The Lunar Council will be given their powers back shortly. I'm not going to let this Delegate abuse their powers!
New Bacon
Welcome to The Mystical Council new nations!! Whether you are a raider, defender, role player, or a combination of all three, you should know that we take our constitution very seriously. And the Lunar Council has vast authority. When dismissing officers, you may not dismiss anyone affiliated with the Lunar Council. You may, however, dismiss officers serving in the previous Delegate's cabinet.
For example, the dismissal of AU912 as Zombie Specialist was perfectly legal.
Dismissing Monotheistic Deities and TRF Submarine Group was unconstitutional. Why? Because they were Lunar Council members.
Hope that's clear. Any nation with the title "Lunar Council Member" cannot be dismissed.
I'll let the dismissal of Oakplumington slide though since technically I'm an *Acting* Lunar Council Member until we can fill all the positions.
Monotheistic Deities
Well my powers I don't abuse--I never try to tear up a region. :)
I GET IT!!!!! THINGS HAPPEN MYSTERIOUSLY IN THE MYSTICAL COUNCIL SO THATS WHY THE REGION IS NAMED THE MYSTICAL COUNCIL.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Anyways as long as they do not abuse their powers I'll be fine-- they will be watched. Good luck New Nations
President Antonio Taharqa
Interim Lunar Council Member
On the bright side, the Lunar Council is completely full again. For now... :)
I love the activity that raids generate. If anything the activity is good for the region.
New Bacon
I like the new map, New Bacon. I am happy with China. Plum Oakton will not become rabbit stew now. ;)
New Bacon
Wow the 8th and 10th delegate that is interesting. Still the longest serving delegate though. Once Taharqa ascends as the interim 10th delegate of Mystical Council the Flag that was created by Taharqa will be the mystical council allegiance once again--WFE WILL BE RESTORED
Oakplumington
All done.
Monotheistic Deities
The HE HAS part I got from the Declaration of Independence. I kinda like the repetition.
Oakplumington
I totally missed that! That is awesome. You get bonus points for that one.
------
Secretary of State Frogcha, fully recovered from multiple zombosis, called Taharqa's office. "Now I am no longer on the Lunar Council. I believe that you should lead the charge if there are any other unconstitutional actions taken by these nations. They should have a clear understanding of what is expected of them now. We must allow the process to work. Oakplumington will continue to support your nation's bid for the Delegacy. With this new Lunar Council, things will be more interesting. Passing laws may require more compromise."
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Meanwhile Taharqa may have to explain to New Bacon's Eighth Regional congress on why he got overthrown hahahaha.
Claim areas that you like on the Map!!!!!!!
Once again Taharqa has acended as the 10th interim delegate of the Mystical Council. The New Bacon Senate has to verify and then confirm for Taharqa to be official again. Taharqa has a lot of explaining to do to the house of reps.
I'm finally an anarchy!!! Wahoo!
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
The Tenth Delegate of The Mystical Council
10. New Bacon: 11/22/2015 - Present
Antonio Taharqa of New Bacon easily returned to power as The Mystical Council's tenth Delegate. New Bacon's run for office was supported by Oakplumington's endorsement via the puppet nation Northern Forestavia. The flag and world factbook entry were restored. Oakplumington worked vigorously to record the history taking place in the region as well as changes in government.
With the Lunar Council full, the region began exploring the possibility of joining the Unified Regional Network.
Monotheistic Deities
*Correction. The Unified Regional Network.
I was reading the dispatch I just posted and it looks like it's sort of an interregional council-like concept. Our region could have up to three representatives in it if we choose to join.
New Bacon
Yeah you can have 3 nations that are representatives but none of the 3 nations can be puppets.
New Bacon
Hey Bad Defence!
Can you tell us a little about TURN and its government? Is this only meant to strengthen our alliances with other regions or will this organization also have power over us? How much power, if any, will they have over us? Is it similar to our own Interregional Council in that regions who join will retain their sovereignty and self-autonomy? Are we free to leave and rejoin at anytime?
New Bacon
The regional government is all updated.
Christmas Day is the next full moon - the Cold Moon. We will pick up with elections then. I'm not sure where we left off. I think we should just start at the top of the list with incumbents Monotheistic Deities and Submarine Group V. That is, if we still have a full Lunar Council by then.
I'm not really a defender anymore these days. Do we have any defenders here? I'm going to remove the "defender" tag. If anyone is opposed, you may ask a member of the Lunar Council or the Delegate to replace it.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
It is bringing regions together so that that we can strengthen our alliances and also have one place where everybody can communicate with each other. They have no power of you and if you decide you don't like it you can leave at any point. The only things they ask is that you post the dispatch up in your region which you already have done. You must also establish an embassy with The Insane Region so that they know you want to be a part of it.
New Bacon
The Defending Opportunities factbook has been updated. I have added The Dirt Alliance to the list and deleted The Red Fleet Victims Army from the list.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Thanks for the info. We'll see what the Mystical Council decides to do over the next few days. I wouldn't mind trying it out.
---------------------------
Secretary of State Frogcha returned from signing some random papers in 21St Century Rome. He began to make a speech. "My fellow citizens of the wonderful region we call home. I speak to you today on an important matter. I would so very much like to serve as one of the representatives of TURN. But only if our regional government approves of such affiliation. I once dreamed about kitty cats. And then ate from a bowl of soup. Once Taharqa is done explaining to the eighth Congress, we shall move forward with the wind!"
There were many cheers from the audience and a few strange looks.
Monotheistic Deities
News:
Plum Oakton returned after abandoning Oakplumington during the Zombie Apocalypse. He was run out of town by the King, Queen, Dictator, and various other heads of state. He is reportedly hiding out in caves.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Awesome map Bacon! I missed using a world map, so I'm hyped for this. I may even bring over Malcholm so I can resume the roleplay I had going before the UTNA did their third reset. It was internal, which means that I could just pick it up where I left off and continue like no time passed...however, if have to do a little restructuring of foreign relations. That might also mean that I'll let Monotheistic Deities die off..I'd been looking for an excuse to do that for quite a while now, but I never really had a reason other than I don't have a viable replacement for it.
Also, I'm confused as to why the raider was made a Lunar Council Member. I saw the bit where they, y'know, ravaged our home, but what happened?
New Bacon, Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Well it's completely up to the government. This is a region for the nations by the nations after all. There are exactly three things that Chingislan did that are unconstitutional, as far as I can tell. If the Lunar Council decides to prosecute for such actions and New Bacon approves, I cannot stand in the way. Or even (since two members of the Lunar Council participated in the last raid) if the Interregional Council and Delegate decide to take action, that would be their prerogative as well.
But honestly, we [I]are[/I] really desperate for Lunar Councillors. This is the first excuse we've had in months for filling up every spot on the Lunar Council. It's really you're call.
But in their favor-keep this in mind- they did not attack any of our embassies and they did not delete the poll that New Bacon had running at the time. Yes, they messed up the region, but this region has witnessed far more destructive raids in its history. This was exceptionally mild. And easily fixed I might add.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Maybe we could ask Pushkar to come back and run for office next month.
New Bacon
IC
(In reference to the new map) Cannibalistic goblins have been put on the eastern border of Oakplumington. The purpose is to prevent any rabbits from leaving that part of the country.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Hallo! How do you do?
Sorry for reking the flag, but that's raiding tradition. As for the RO's, you guys are dangerous for raiders. You had to go.
:D I'll stick around if you'll have me. You seem like a nice bunch of people.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Speaking as the Lunar Council President, guess we could motion a pardon.
If we do, I'd like to see that they can't manage communications for at least one term. They did target our means of communicating with other regions, after all.
Feel free to! The bacon may taste a little salty tho, you rekt the term record he'd just set.
Oakplumington
I did appoint you as a Lunar council member so good luck serving in our council and welcome to the region.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
I'll start signing myself of as the 9th delegate of TMC ;)
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Alright, we got ourselves a new member! Excellent! Welcome to the Mystical Council, ChingisLan! You're not the first raider to join, either. We have Submarine Group V who was also given the Lunar Council position by default in much the same manner as you were. This occurred shortly after a raid by The Red Fleet.
All that is left now is the formality of a pardon and possibly losing communications power for a term (one lunar cycle) as proposed by Lunar Council President Monotheistic Deities. Three Lunar Council votes with New Bacon's approval would be required to remove communications authority from ChingisLan. This will be as a result of suppressing several posts and preventing interregional communication between embassies. On the day of the Cold Moon (December 25th/Christmas Day) communications authority shall be restored to the honorable ChingisLan.
*Says last sentence in a cool accent*
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Until the council votes on it, he will have communications authority until the council removes it.
I may send out a telegram because there is an ongoing poll, the vote should be done before the beaver moon on November 25th
Do you want Malcholm to be the Lunar Council President?
Monotheistic Deities
ALRIGHT THERE IS ANOTHER POLL THAT IS ON TELEGRAM!!! VOTE NOW LUNAR COUNCIL REGARDING STRIPPING COMMUNICATIONS FROM CHINGISLAN
Oakplumington
I Will post on the RMB who all said yes and who all said no.
Oakplumington
You are allowed to vote too ChingisLan. You're on the Council after all.
Yes [nation=short]ChingisLan[/nation] you are allowed to vote. You are on the council.
Monotheistic Deities
The telegram was sent regional wide so you all's puppets will get the telegram as well.
Malcholm What area would you like on the map? #iknowitsyoumonotheisticdeities
Monotheistic Deities
I just realized I'm not in the government anymore. I withdrew my vote from the Unified Regional Network poll above. Guess I was trying to pull a fast one... ;)
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
I'll send you a TG, its a little complex. I kinda have Germany split down the middle with a few neighboring countries mixed in due to a civil war.
That'd be dandy.
So its in the books: Malcholm will be replacing Monotheistic Deities in all aspects, however Knoblauch will remain due to its involvement in Malcholm's RP. I'm not entirely sure if I want to just let MD CTE..its my second largest nation, but I haven't really done much with it.
I was thinking about making you a regional code enforcer, but have not made up my mind yet. :]
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Hey look on the bright side we have a full council again
Malcholm
I log into this nation to move it back to where it come from, and I find my self appointed to some sort of council. This gave me 3 options. 1. Retag the region and do what ever I can with my officer set. 2. Leave with out doing anything. And 3. See if they will accept me as a member.
And by the fact your WFE is correct and I'm still here, makes it obvious what I chose doesn't it?
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
I'd be all for that.
I don't see why not.
On that note, you came in with ChingisLan right?
I'd like to formally extend the pardon/temporary communications restrictions to encompass both ChingisLan and Jegerkompaniet.
New Bacon, Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Malcholm's ambassador to the Lunar Council sat quietly in the offices, sifting through his predecessor's documents.
"What.."
He came across something; a flag. A flag he's never seen. Documentation for the implementation of a new regional flag that went unfiled, discarded under a mass of legal documents and old proposals. He picked it up and spread it in his arms, attempting to get a better look at it.
http://s6.postimg.org/uv2arbfj5/tmp_28874_flag_1_555030886.png
"Fascinating.."
Oakplumington
Ok just follow the poll on telegram and say yes or no and I'll be sure to block communications with jegerkompaniet.
I think I would enjoy that. :)
Hey I was just thinking. Anytime any nation puts up a poll they should specify whether it is a general opinion poll or whether it is something only the regional government should vote for. I think that could eliminate confusion.
IC -
Frogcha, Secretary of State, humbly submitted a resume for such a position on the New Bacon Cabinet.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Welcome! Feel free to vote in the poll above. The Lunar Council is very powerful in this region. It is one of three branches of government. Also, anyone can make a bid for the delegacy at anytime. If they have the endorsements, the delegacy is theirs. My puppet is Northern Forestavia and will endorse any nation carrying WA status. My other puppet is Military Forestaiva and is here for influencial security.
Depending on how the Lunar Council votes (you are a 1 of 5) you may be temporarily stripped of your communications powers for one lunar cycle (11/25 - 12/25) due to the raid. This of course would just be a formality if the Lunar Council so chooses to pursue it. Right now there is a telegram vote that New Bacon is running.
We will be very happy to accept you as a member of this great and yet obscure region. Stay as long as you like. Get as involved as you like. I hope you enjoy your time here.
New Bacon
Frogcha, no longer on the Council or serving in the government paid a visit to the Malcholm ambassador offices.
*Knock* *Knock*
New Bacon
ALSO I WILL ENDORSE ANY NATION CARRYING WA status as well
Just remember that WA endorsements can be revoked at any time point.
And by any person carrying WA status
Oakplumington is now our new Regional Code Enforcer with Taharqa looking at the amazing resume he says, "GREAT YOU'RE HIRED!!!!!
Frogcha should do a good job according to Taharqa
Oakplumington
BLOOPERS FOR TODAY, DID YOU KNOW THAT COMPARED TO OAKPLUMINGTON WHICH IS THE CHEAPEST COUNTRY WITH LITTLE TAXES, NEW BACON IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTRY IN THE COUNCIL WITH HIGH TAX RATES.
The taxes are also in the various 51 states which the council will know more about when me and my friends are done
Frogcha accepts the job and promises to finish the constitution in a "timely manner".
Protestors gather saying Jegerkompaniet should not pay for the sins of Chingislan. "Is it fair that our regional leaders lump these two unique nations into one vote? Jegerkompaniet is guilty only of electing Chingislan and nothing more. Should we also punish Jegerkompaniet for ChingisLan's actions? That is precisely what the Delegacy is asking the Lunar Council to do!!"
Several hundred protestors gathered outside the regional capital pushing for two separate votes one for Jegerkompaniet and one for ChingisLan.

Meanwhile, Plum Oakton used the opportunity to hop towards more westerly caves successfully evading cannibalistic rabbit-eating goblins along the east...
Malcholm
Dude... 63.8% tax rate.
IC Headline- Only the wealthiest Oakplumingtons move to New Bacon.
New Bacon
Hey everyone, there is a Christian demographics poll taking place in Christadelphia if anyone is interested.
Hahahaha yeah that's the average. Although the 51 states and their tax rates vary. You better believe that my country will tax the crap out of the businesses for sure. Hahahaha and you might wanna urge your citizens not to move to Washington D.C. As the tax rate is 81.84% for property.
Malcholm
Once I post the link you will see my states and my friends that is running the states as well as their tax rates.
The best places for Oakplumingtons are Florida and Maine. However 81.84% that is worse than Malcholm which is 70% I think.
If you like low (but non-zero) taxes, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate has a flat income tax of 4.2%.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
There is a long line of entrepreneurs and job seekers waiting to immigrate to AU912. Some would be happy with work visas.
