Region: The Mystical Council
If there aren't any objections, I'm going to approve construction of embassies with Polland, The Maldives, and Heroes Rise.
Monotheistic Deities
Status Report
"Commend The Red Fleet
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
For: 6,289. Against: 2,799."
I'm sure that they've done some good things here and there, but seriously? I can't believe they have this much support. Could you imagine The Black Hawks or DEN receiving such an honor? This has to be unprecedented.
Monotheistic Deities
M. R. Misley disembarked from the submarine and approached Frogcha.
"The Red Fleet was justified in its assault on [region=Libertarian]," he began, straightening his peaked cap. "The region was pursuing alliances with our enemies - in particular, they held embassies with [region=The Hyatt Islands] and [region=Conservative League]. Both of these regions are members of [region=REATO], which has had its share of assaults on our allies. Retribution is warranted. Since Libertarian severed its ties with these curs, we have not considered returning to their shores."
While he continued, a political officer snuck out of the submarine carrying a large bundle of red and gold cloth. The officer walked toward the flagpole that held the flag flying over the square.
"It is furthermore disingenuous to compare our Fleet with raiders of the Black Hawks or DEN sort. Those people do not discern their targets by any measure other than who is vulnerable. The Red Fleet only targets regions that are fascist, aligned with fascists, or are members or allies of REATO. A Red Fleet commander who orders an attack on a non-REATO-aligned capitalist region would face sanctions by the Admiralty Board."
"The international community recognizes this and clearly approves of what The Red Fleet does. I would hope we can do the same here."
Oakplumington
Finally, Frogcha had some time to respond to Nikolas Sica. Things had gotten busy with the regional constitution thrown into chaos, Oakplumington plummeting into anarchy, and with the haunting memory of The Red Fleet's invasion of Libertarian resurrecting itself before the Security Council.
"Nikolas,
I believe that your approach is politically beneficial in that it is not controversial. I would like to present to you a draft concerning the creation of the Department of Religious Affairs, a more bureaucratic and tactful approach:
The Religious Affairs Act
1. A Department of Religious Affairs should be set up by the regional government. The purpose of the organization will be to recognize the benefits that come with religiosity and spirituality and to provide resources nations and/or citizens who wish to learn more about their own or another faith tradition.
2. The Mystical Council shall not have an official religion.
2a. Alternatively, the region may adopt every existing religion in the region as its official religion.
3. Most of the money received to fund the Department of Religious Affairs will come from private sources including individuals, organizations, companies, religious institutions, philosophical societies, etc.
4. Only one percent of any regional taxes collected from nations or civilians of nations can be used to fund the Department of Religious Affairs.
5. The regional treasury may not grant an interest-free loan to the Department of Religious Affairs.
6. Any regional loan granted to the Department of Religious Affairs must be approved by two branches of government.
7. The Department of Religious Affairs will maintain neutral records of the region's religious history, spiritual developments, and faith statistics.
8. The Department of Religious Affairs shall strive to be unbiased not favoring one religion or philosophy over another.
9. This law may be repealed with the consent of two branches of government.
10. This law will not go into effect until it has been approved by two branches of government.
I'm sure it could use more work.
Sincerely,
Frogcha
Acting Lunar Council Member
Frogcha sat down at the Lunar Council table motioning Misley to do the same.
"Well, I believe that a more tactful action would have been to infiltrate Reato, The Hyatt Islands, and Conservative League. Perhaps I would even offer my services as this region is clearly both anti-fascist and anti-communist. But to attack a free region based on some loose, indirect affiliation with the enemy does not automatically make them the enemy. Your fleet must learn to choose its battles more wisely. That is my opinion, Captain."
Frogcha stood up and poured two glasses of whiskey for each of them.
"However, it appears that the international community is on your side, Misley." He walked over to the window while sipping at his whiskey. "My God! Are you responsible for that?" Frogcha pointed at the regional flag flying high above the regional capitol proudly declaring to the world The Mystical Council's affiliation with The Red Fleet. "I suggest that when we are done discussing matters, you have someone from your submarine replace our region's flag. You know, the proud flag with the blue background, green stripes of growth, and the guiding light of the heavenly bodies." He walked back to the table, sat down, and poured another half glass of whiskey.
WE AINT STARTING THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #REDFLEET
Oakplumington
"I know my country and your submarine haven't always seen eye-to-eye on matters. But like it or not we are both members of the Lunar Council."
He took another sip of whiskey.
"I am not Plum Oakton. I will not make political enemies if I can avoid it. But Captain Misley, even you have to see that the attack on Libertarian was a bad call, even if they had embassies with fascist regions. You've got to know that the spirit of Libertarianism transcends this false idea that communism and fascism are somehow opposites of each other. The truth of the matter is that communism and fascism are both equally evil in that they are both forms of tyranny. It is impossible to 'liberate' a free people. Now let's have a heart-to-heart. I think socialists are fine. Socialism is not the same as communism. Likewise, libertarians are not the same as fascists. In fact, any libertarian worth their salt will be opposed to both fascism and communism. Likewise, I am positive that there are good socialists out there who are opposed to communism. Am I making sense, Captain?"
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Check out the WA Security Council resolution.
New Bacon
Once again the real Mystical Council flag has been raised again!!!!
Oakplumington
Let the flag wars begin!!!! :)
President Beldan stood to read a prepared statement.
"On behalf of the protectorate, we strongly support the motion for no official religion. While we prefer to keep our religiousity in the private sector, the Religious Affairs Act seems a fair compromise."
"We also beg to disagree with our colleague from Trf Submarine Group V. Libertarian had no knowledge or forewarning of the preexisting hostilities that led to the attacks on that region. It was given no warning or explanation for the initial attack, and were not given a full explanation of the accusations against us until after the second attack, which was not fully authorized, and targetted the region for destruction."
"While we accept the explanation that Red Fleet acted in the belief that we supported REATO's fight with them, they did not bring this evidence to us beforehand, and there were no strongly worded objections to tthe idea of a policy of invading capitalist regions in general as a tactic, even if they have never supported fascism or opposed communism directly. Merely having friendly relations with regions declared by Red Fleet as their enemies is considered sufficient to be considered an enemy, regardless of the exact nature of those relations"
"Nonetheless, we fully expect this resolution to pass overwhelmingly. The WA has always had very poor relations with fascists, and its fiercest opponents are upheld as heroes regardless of their own sins. The left has always feared that anyone seeking economic liberty does so purely out of greed or a lack of charitable concern, and thus capitalists are presumed guilty until proven innocent. We will never support fascism, but we will not support communism in its fight against fascism so long as those trod underfoot in that fight are unapologetically presumed guilty by association."
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
After Frogcha's assistant took a brief visit to the Conservative League, he returned to hand Frogcha a report. "Well, well, well, what have we here? You see Captain Misley of Trf Submarine Group V, eventually the truth comes out."
He finished off his glass of whiskey.
"It turns out that The Red Fleet has been operating under a false assumption the whole time. Those three regions don't seem to have any fascist connections. My assistant just handed me a preliminary report showing the Conservative League's innocence rather than guilt. There is no evidence at this time suggesting that they are either fascist or communist. They simply believe in the free market. Now Misley, is a free market economy such a bad thing?"
Frogcha leaned back in his chair and poured them both some more whiskey.
Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
DC here, the WA Delegate of the Conservative League. I think it's worth mentioning that when Libertarian was invaded, we were not yet a member of REATO.
Monotheistic Deities, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
You know, Trf Submarine Group V aka Misley, I keep on getting the impression that you are a decent bloke. I just have to argue with you about politics.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Indeed! The Submarine Group/Misley is an excellent role-player. :)

Here's who I'd likely vote for, if I could. Most of the candidates in this election suffer from severe polarization of their ideology; it's either they're excessively liberal, or excessively conservative, etc., and it doesn't feel like there's a good middle. A lot of the Republican candidates have fallen head-first off the "right cliff", and I haven't seen a single popular candidate that wants a small government without the integration of church and state. And on that note, part of Christian (or even most religious) doctrine is to 'love thy neighbor as thyself', so I can't really see the viability of building walls. According to the leading parties, it seems that the government has to be either large or small. Can't we have something in-between? A medium-sized government? Centrism seems to be the closest to that (maybe?), however I'd prefer a mixed economy over a free-market. That's where I'd align more with Social Democracy, however it apparently 'isn't possible' in the USA, and the further left you look the more liberal you get.
I lean slightly more left for economic issues, but have a varied mix of left and right views for personal/societal issues. I might just announce my candidacy on the 'why not both?' platform. Call it the "Reasonable Party" and plant a flag on my front lawn. #Pyrosky2016
Oakplumington
I like this Larry Lessig guy a lot. I can listen to him and know that I'm not just being fed the usual political rhetoric. He makes sense. Because of that he'll never make it past the "money election".
Technically, the United States does have a mixed economy. We have the world of free-market in capitalism and we have the government's desire to influence and regulate it which is a necessity in some cases. What would happen to the quality of our food without the FDA for example? The Federal Reserve is responsible for putting all kinds of fiscal policies into motion. Congress attaches riders to bills. Government provides tons of jobs to people. The United States postal service is an example of a nationalized industry. Stimulus packages, budgets, banking regulations. Ultimately there is no such thing as pure capitalism.
China is kind of the same way except in reverse because most things are managed by the communist government but small doses of capitalism are allowed to exist out of necessity.
I agree with everything else you said. Things don't have to be so extreme all the time. A medium-sized government would be at least a step in the right direction. The government would be able to simultaneously serve the people while staying out of private aspects of our lives.
My positions on issues are very libertarian. I realize though that there is no such thing as a perfect political ideology. If libertarianism was fully adopted in the purest form possible, I'm sure there would still be problems. Things look great in theory and on paper but in the real world human behavior is a messy thing.
I'm not sure whether to call myself left or right anymore.
If I use the Tyranny -------------x---- Anarchy scale, then I would probably be about where the x is which is "right". But usually when people say left and right they mean this:
Communism ----------------- Fascism. <<< And this doesn't make any sense to me at all.
Even words like "Conservative" and "Liberal" don't make sense anymore because if you go by the dictionary, conservatives should be the ones "conserving" the environment and liberals should be the ones shrinking the size of government and abolishing loopholes in the tax code.
I'm voting for Pyrosky 2016!!!!! To reason!!! :)

Well, it's official... there WILL be a zombie event beginning about two days from now.
http://www.nationstates.net/page=news
Monotheistic Deities
BREAKING!!! New Bacon's Federal Investigation Bureau will be preparing for this zombie event also the New Bacon Department of defense will be preparing ; in case of the event of an emergency, The New Bacon Federal Government will make an announcement to all citizens. And also local authorities around New Bacon will be sending out undercover cops pulling over the zombies driving cars. There won't be very many marked officers. So suggestion to all zombies, DO NOT COME THROUGH NEW BACON TERRITORY!! Or else they'll be in a dungeon tortured and hanged by police.
Plum Oakton issues a press release. "As this new disease spreads across the world we will be researching a cure. Oakplumington and Forestavian territories and provinces will combine our knowledge, research, and strength to medically fight this threat. And we will find a cure!"
M. R. Misley took his glass of whiskey with thanks and knocked the glass back. "Ach!" he coughed. "I am used to rum. A sweeter, more appropriate liquor for a man of the sea. But a kind gesture all the same." He sat and listened to Frogcha speak, and then made his reply.
"First, I am certainly not responsible for the flag," Misley said, watching as frantic crews lowered the Red Fleet ensign. "I was here with you the entire time I've been off my ship." The crews unfurled the Council's banner and began hoisting it. "Besides, it's no matter. See?"
"As for The Hyatt Islands, a detatchment from the Fleet did infiltrate that region and even secured a beachhead, but mysteriously, a landing party teleported from the beach back to the squadron offshore. We had the numbers, but then we didn't, through no fault of our own. Truly bizarre. As for Conservative League and REATO, I can only say that the possibility is under consideration."
"An embassy is no loose or indirect affiliation. Both parties to an embassy must agree to its construction, and it is widely seen as a gesture of friendship and alliance between two regions. Why else build the embassy if you are not making a statement by it? Besides, we never alleged that Libertarian had embassies with fascist regions. Just with The Hyatt Islands and Conservative League, which had all but made their membership in REATO official at the time of our incursion. We never intended to cause lasting damage to the region. It was more a show of force and statement about the dangers of affiliating with REATO than anything else."
"And while you think socialists are fine, I am myself a communist. I have comrades who are not communists, but many who are. We are not bad people, I can assure you."
Captain Misley turned to President Beldan. "Why would a military inform you of its operational plans? And I must remind everyone that The Red Fleet only participated in a single operation in Libertarian. The first operation that you allude to was carried out by a separate military force unconnected to my Fleet."
"You incorrectly assert that the region was targeted for destruction. If we had targeted the region for destruction, it would have been destroyed. We have never destroyed a capitalist region for being a capitalist region. The only regions we have targeted for destruction have been fascist regions and REATO members, past or present."
He took the second glass of whiskey with a grateful nod and sipped from it. He grimaced at the taste, looked at the liquid, and knocked the glass back with another cough. "You should really consider trying rum."
"As for capitalism, I am opposed to it. That much should be clear. But I am not someone who would destroy a capitalist region simply because of ties to REATO. Conduct raids into? Sure. But we have not destroyed any region simply for having REATO as an ally."
President Beldan took a long sip from his bottled water, passed it to an aide, and turned calmly toward M. R. Misley.
"Perhaps I should clarify my positions."
"You asked 'why would a military inform you of its operational plans?'. My answer is that, from our point of view, we were a neutral party, and by not notifying us beforehand that we were targetted, Red Fleet violated neutrality and therefore conducted a raid that cannot be justified as self-defense."
"You also stated, 'you incorrectly assert that the region was targeted for destruction.' We were targetted for destruction by the second raid, which, as you have said, was not authorized by Red Fleet but was carried out by nations that included nations affiliated with Red Fleet and its allies. If you wish to deny that relation, I shall defer to your judgement."
"Finally, you stated that 'an embassy is no loose or indirect affiliation'. We admit that it has been our policy not to propose embassies with any region we regard as being either socially or economically authoritarian, we viewed embassies largely as means of facilitating open conversation, not a means of establishing a defensive alliance. As for 'making a statement', I suppose we were 'making a statement' that we did not disagree with the region in question. However, while we were aware that The Hyatt Islands and Conservative League had embassies with Reato, we were not aware that either had themselves participated directly in any action against Red Fleet."
"As for the socialism vs communism question, in my experience not everyone agrees on what exactly qualifies as socialism or communism. I certainly do not oppose voluntary forms of communism or socialism, but I am very much opposed to communism when it oppresses its own people or intervenes with non-communist societies against the will of their people."
Frogcha called a nearby assistant. "Hey, how about you bring Captain Misley a nice bottle of sweet and spiced rum. I feel like I'm torturing my sea mate with this blasted whiskey."
The assistant came back with three fresh glasses, a bowl of ice, and poured each of them with rum leaving each party to choose for themselves how much ice each wanted.
"Well Captain, it seems The Red Fleet and Reato have their differences. I don't think either of us will change the other's mind. I would just like to agree with President Beldan that neither him nor I would interfere with your way of life or your crew's communism. But you should be well aware, Misley, that your way of life ends at the tip of my nose."
At that he took a few ice cubes from the bowl and swirled them around in his glass of rum before taking a gulp. "You are definitely right about the rum, though. Much better than whiskey."
Ooooh, I like what you did with the Interregional Council factbook. It looks much cleaner and more organized.
Oakplumington
On a lighter note, I was pondering if I should move one or more of my "fantasy monster nations" here prior to the start of Z-hour, or wait until after I've cleaned out the local population.
The nations are:

Hey, whatever you think the best strategy is to cure the region. I will go with the Zombie Specialist's recommendation on this one. ;)
This is the first time apparently that the Vice President of New Bacon is speaking,
Vice President Douglas Martinez says, "Rather than police catching the zombies and putting them in dungeons how about the Executive Branch gets together along with President Taharqa and the Council to find a cure that will save all of our country and region's citizens from getting affected Also if there is a cure the New Bacon Military needs to help aid the less fortunate countries of survival and And New Bacon's 8th Regional Congress needs to pass a bill to protect our citizens and The Council Needs some kind of emergency plan in action. Thank you all for your cooperation.

A creature that looks like a gigantic disembodied head squeezes through the door. At its side are something that looks like a grotesque living, hairless teddy bear with triangular ears in green pajamas, carrying a tiny copy of itself, a smaller, fatter head, and a small woman with the same triangular ears as the teddy bear.
"Take it easy, ze! Dosumarissa is Dosumarissa, ze!"
"Hello Mister Man, Desu!" "Mister Man is very handsome, techi!" "Give Weibu schweech-sweech. Loch ish enough!" exclaim its companions.
"The great Dosumarissa exends to you the traditional greeting of our people." says the translator. Bowing, she adds, "We have come to seek refuge from mister zombie."
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Something that looks like a shipping crate sprouting robotic arms follows Dosumarissa's entouage. It is followed by a slightly more humanoid robot that has an oddly aristocratic air."
"Greetings.... This unit brings a message... Modron armies are prepared to march on the zombie hordes."
"We hope, however, to avoid full - scale conflict. Analogous events suggest combating the agent on a molecular level is a more effective tactic."
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
A tall figure with a lizardlike tail and long slender ears sticking out from holes in its burka is the last to arrive in the menagerie. At its side is a tall, dark-skinned woman with white and purple hair who looks impossibly young for her height.
"On behalf of Empress Zala'ess Val'Sharen, the Chelian Alliance, and the Jaal'daria, I greet all denizens of this holy place. I can inform you we have begun construction of field labs to research a cure."
"The clan armies stand ready should they be needed."
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Undersecretary for Emergency Response Athena Aerios appears by holographic projection addresses the council for the first time.
"We urge all nations to cooperate in dealing with the coming crisis. We will be researching a cure, but it will take time. We therefore recommend both civilians and government agencies prepare shelter, survival supplies, and barricades and plan to shelter indoors for the next 48 hours. Windows should be boarded to reduce the speed of infection. We encourage those citizens who wish to do so to prepare to defend themselves with deadly force, but we urge everyone to remember, any zombies they encounter are likely to be the citizens of their own nation acting against their will and are urged not to take any unnecessary action against them. Civilians are urged to make arrangements with neighbors to evacuate to alternate shelters if possible."
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Doctors from Prosperity's Medical research center and emergency personnel have been flown into The Mystical Council's capitol to learn everything possible about the disease sweeping the world. It is known by many names in cultures throughout the world. Forestavian doctors commonly call this rarely occurring plague "multiple zombosis".
Monotheistic Deities
Diplomats from Forestavia's Northern province are also present at the meeting taking place at the Lunar Council. Northern Forestavia has agreed to comply with the High Council's order to "find a cure and to only use force against the infected as a last resort".
Northern Provincial authorities have stated that civil rights will remain a top priority throughout the outbreak.
Monotheistic Deities
Sirens are now going off across New Bacon as the zombie apoclolyse arrives This is a GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY for New Bacon and residents should take this seriously. Air Travel may be affected around the mystical council because of the stricter regulations for others to enter New Bacon. All foreigners need to have every thing ready as it may be very difficult to cross into New Bacon territory. TO ALL RESIDENTS AFFECTED, NEW BACON IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY. Mystical Council has not been declared this yet. Actions for affected people should be taken seriously.
Oakplumington
Everyone should now be able to select an action for dealing with the zombies. There is a very small button labelled "zombie control" on your nation homepage under political freedom near the "analysis" button (looks like a bar chart). I am recommending all nations with populations over 1 billion research the cure.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Plum Oakton reads Forgetsalot's tweet about building shelters at the bottom of the sea and takes a magic wand out of his hat taking him through a portal to such a shelter. But only after leaving a note.
"Dear Staff, King, Queen, Dictator, Prime Minister, President, Military, Protestors, and whoever else helps me run this great anarchy:
I got scared like a little bunny and just couldn't stick around for the chaos. Please take care of the good people of Oakplumington. I recommend declaring a state of emergency and attending the regional government meeting regarding the outbreak. You must RESEARCH A CURE!"
*Poof*
A staff member found the note, screamed dramatically, and then informed the rest of Oakplumington's leaders who fought bitterly over what to do. Eventually they agreed to follow Plum Oakton's advice. The King was infected somehow. Which basically meant that Oakplumington's entire government was infected.
Monotheistic Deities
Frogcha walked into the meeting with some intelligence. "It appears that our friends over in the Conservative League have fully embraced multiple zombosis."
He threw a folder on the table containing one document which read:
"It's happening everywhere. In every major city."
"OK, let's do it" said acting supreme necromancer Keil'ndia Val'Vloz'ress. Two terrified orcs held a zombie in position while Wafay Val'Jaal'darya poured her potions and several berserkers, two battle wolves and a cave dragon held the doors closed against the onslaught. "Easy boy" said the stablehand.
The zombie began to convulse, and Wafay started to dance.
"It's working, It's working!"
Oakplumington
The holoprojector cracked to life. "This is Athena Aerios. The Zombie Cure has been developed and is being weaponized. However, the current strain is only minimally effective. We should have a new strain available soon."
"Everyone who chose to cure zombies - check your zombie controls and see if you have cure missiles ready."
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL OF THE ATLAS UNION - IMPERIAL EDEN TO ALL EMBASSIES
THE VIRUS HAS SPREAD INTO OUR REGION AND OVERWHELMED SECURITY. COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN SEVERED WITH MOST NATIONS.

CITIZENS, REMAIN CALM, THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE SITUATION UNDE...CRRRRRRRRR....ARGGHHHHHHHHH...ZZZZZZZ...THE ZOMBI...CRRRRR...TAKEN...CRRRRRRRRR...GOVERNME...
New Bacon, Oakplumington
ALERT: New Bacon Military has struck cure missiles to Oakplumington, and Monotheistic Deities so far curing some of their citizens. New Bacon is still Under STATE OF EMERGENCY at this point.
BACON CENTRAL NEWS: The New Bacon International Boundary is still open right now but it looks like a traffic jam at the New Bacon-Firstguy border checking people for Zombie infection.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
There was screaming and pandemonium in the streets. It's like the worst scenes from every horror movie ever shown. Nonstop.
Knoblauch
Breaking News:
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"Also of important note is some good news. Every nation in the region has been reported to have less than 100 million zombies."
Knoblauch
A random reporter:
"I am live from downtown somewhere in this region - not exactly sure where - anyways. Hordes of zombies are being cured. The Mystical Council is leading the world in the fight for a cure..."
Knoblauch
The tall robot who addressed the council before reappears.
"We have determined it will be possible to completely cure the region. However, a more efficient method of doing this would be to focus our efforts on one nation at a time. Firing missiles at random reduces the effectiveness of barrages fired from the targeted nation. We request that nations firing not be fired upon, and those fired upon refrain from firing,"
Northern Forestavia
OOC - Sorry! I just realized what I was doing!
IC - Frogcha spoke up, "Agreed I will put the orders in to fire on Submarine Group and Pushkar for the next few hours."
The Deatian/Knoblauchian joint cure bombardment effort reports that there are no zombies left in the Submarine Group or Pushkar. Trigger-happy missile control-men are awaiting orders.
"We should consult our Zombie Specialist on this."
Frogcha placed a call to AU912's headquarters. "Take the lead on this one."
"Let's send the missiles to New Bacon and Knoblauch!!!! For health and freedom!!!"
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
I think we did it.
Undersecretary Aerios reappears in the council's holoprojector:
"The Mystical Council is free, for now. However, we must remain vigilant. The infection may find a way back in."
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Northern Forestavia
*Trigger-happy strike team holds a massive celebration*
We're free! The zombies are gone!
Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
Secretary of Defense Nathaniel Taylor joins Undersecretary Aerios.
"Well Done Soldier! We've all earned a moment of celebration. However, it may be wise to close the regional borders or else keep at least two nations' defenses on full alert. Military Intelligence has just reported numerous regions have decided to use their zombies as supersoldiers and are looking for uninfected regions to invade in order to keep them fed."
"Unfortunately, our own troops need to get some rest, so we'll be retreating to underground bunkers for the next few hours."
Oakplumington
That was really fun and a little too easy! I think we should keep the border open and invite the infected inside! I'm coming over with Southern Forestavia to reinfect the region. lol!!!!!! ;)
Monotheistic Deities
Thanks for the help of the cure missiles [nation=short]Monotheistic Deities[/nation] and [nation=short]Oakplumington[/nation] BREAKING: The borders of New Bacon are back to normal now also The New Bacon National Guard is protecting the Mystical Council Central Bank and the New Bacon Reserve to keep zombies from stealing baps and New Bacon Dollars-- in New Bacon City(Which is the Nation's largest City). THE STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR NEW BACON IS STILL IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. All people traveling in and out of New Bacon should prepare for drastic changes still. New Bacon's Secretary of Defense Speaks, " We have active National Guardsmen and The military has helped cure some of the countries in the Mystical Council Curing some million people. Now we do not have anyone affected at this point. Mystical council is doing well at this point with everyone cured with the help of each other. Thank you all." President Taharqa and Executive of the Region, "We are doing well, truly our nation's motto STAY STRONG has meaning to it across the Mystical Council. We are strong as a whole and that is what we need. I encourage everyone in The Mystical Council and My Sovereign nation of New Bacon to stay safe and prepare for changes like the secretary of defense said. Thank You. "
Monotheistic Deities
Hi I gave a hand to a region I used to be in, but got a bit of infection myself. Can you please help me out?
Oakplumington
Thank you for your assistance, Oakplumington and Alternate Universe 912.
No problem! By the way, welcome to the Mystical Council, Hunnia! :) Feel free to stay as long as you like.
Welcome all new people in the Mystical Council I hope you enjoy your stay in this region. I, Oakplumington, and the Lunar Council want you to be relaxed in this region. If you all have any ideas or concerns for the region please feel free to let I and Oakplumington or the Lunar Council Members know.
Enjoy your stay,
Executive Department of The Mystical Council
The Forestavian Island refugees are extremely grateful for all the help. Many have died but the survivors remain determined to move forward. Mass cremations are being held at city landfills and on country sides of every town across the islands.
Keep your eyes open, it's not over yet. There are plenty of zombie nations out there who are raiding clean regions.
New Bacon
I had to have my puppets retreat from Zen. The situation is contagious over there.
Zen has been cleansed, but there are a lot of dead.
Thanks 912!
I took two of my countries into that region earlier and started sending out cure missiles, the next thing I knew I was infected again! I had to retreat back to The Mystical Council to cure myself and before going back over. Zen was really infected.
Seven hours to go.
You did most of the work. I just mopped up.
The game converts people in uninfected nations to zombies when there are a lot of zombies in the region. It's kind of like the Chernobyl cleanup: the trick is to only stay for short periods.
If anyone is interested The Atlas Union has a lot of infected.
Great job with the zombies everyone! :)
The only deaths that we had for this region were from the 2,452,983,439 people from one of my neglected puppets. Other than that, we had no deaths and our region remained infection free throughout the night.
We had a "safe haven" infection status score of -335.5 and about 60.3 billion survivors. Excellent work! This region survived through its first zombie apocalypse with flying colors.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
This is a test of the password. Looks like it works.
New Bacon
Well The STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS BEEN LIFTED AND TRAVEL IS BACK TO NORMAL HOOOORAY!!!!!!!
Hello Mystical Council!!! It's your delegate New Bacon. I was over in The Embassy helping the region recover from a massive raid. Hope all is well.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
Starting Wednesday I'll be on leave for the next couple weeks; I'm leaving for a mission trip Wednesday morning.
Hopefully you guys can manage while Oakplumington and I are both gone! I've got faith that Bacon can easily keep the region afloat.
In my absence, I'd like to ask Pushkar to step up and take the mantle of the Lunar Council.

100 days as the executive and the region still moves strong under such marvelous leadership. Also the lunar council has strong leadership as well.

OOC: We need to think about France as 129 people were killed. Our thoughts go out to those families that are in France during the time of this tragic event.

Also effective on tomorrow November 15 the region will be officially 1 year old. The region was founded by our marvelous lunar council member Oakplumington.

I'll be back very soon. I'm on a different computer right now. I just got a telegram from a nation in the rejected realms who wants to start interregional RP through embassies.

We should discuss a trade agreement between the great nation of Wolfdon and the nations of The Mystical Council.
Oakplumington has tons of iron ore, copper, timber, and some really tasty beer. There are also a few restaurant chains who would like to expand their markets to other nations.

Welcome back oakplumington and yes we need to discuss trade.
How about trade between the regions?
Oh yeah and there are now three positions available as Pushkar left the region while you were gone.
Thanks! How've you been? I see you made it past one hundred days as delegate. Congratulations!
