Region: The Mystical Council
Jumped up by 50 since then ;)
Forestavia, New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
After the assassination of President Aiko, security was increased at the Forestavian capitol. Each High Councillor would have a team of at least ten security guards on them at all times. Intelligence Secretary Jackie Black wasn't taking any chances. "Hmm, we don't know much about them except for the fact that they are like 'no ordinary rebel group'. We need to learn more about these people and what their motives are." She turned to the two spies who would be posing as a couple. "Your mission is to go to The Greater Holy Isles and blend in with the average crowd. Don't dress like bums but don't dress too formally either. You will be receiving Forestavian passports matching your undercover identities, a total of 3000 baps in various denominations, two credit cards, two wedding bands, two condoms, a tour guide, maps of key cities, a camera, a list of key phrases of various languages spoken in the region, a pen with a GPS chip, another pen that can take video footage, several bugs that can be planted just about anywhere, an mp3 player that connects you to the bugs, a book that really isn't a book, a phone that is so much more than a phone,..." After a few minutes, "...and finally, candy for the flight. Congratulations, you're both officially married as far as Forestavia is concerned. Here is your official marriage license containing the seal of the Monastery. Find out what's going on over there and whether these people pose a threat to this region or this nation. Don't forget, you're on your honeymoon. Make sure you both look like your having a good time."
They both prepared for a flight to Pyrosky - a flight that appeared to have been scheduled months ago.

Welcome to The Mystical Council Dictatorship of Militarists! :) (Is that you, Sib?)
Elections start in three days if you're interested in running for the Lunar Council.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
noo. -_^
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
Sure, I'll run. :P
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Vaspassia
Alright! We have ourselves an election! :)
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
It's going to be Militarists, Malcholm, and Vaspassia. The election starts on the 18th and will go for a week.
New Bacon
So what makes the council so mystical?
New Bacon, Vaspassia
Yas 102! In queue. It should be up for vote by Sunday major.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
Mission Completed
Vaspassia
That is a great question! I have no idea! ;)

Here is my campaign.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Vaspassia
I like chess too!
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
I updated the government too. You are officially a member of Sentagon.
I'm going to give you a quick run down of the situation over here.
*Basically our government is set up in three branches. The Delegate, The Lunar Council, and Sentagon. The Delegate represents the votes of WA nations, The Lunar Council represents the votes of all resident nations, and Sentagon is everybody else.
*Approval from two branches of government are required to pass legislation.
*Our constitution is on a test drive right now and I still have to do some more work with it. I'm open to suggestions.
*The only officials with border control are the Delegate, the President of the Lunar Council, and me. And even then, there are strict regulations for how those powers are to be used. It is unconstitutional, for example, for me to ban someone without two branches approving - unless the situation is extreme.
Militarists, New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
Welcome to the region Peartreestan!
I'll put your name in Sentagon as well.
Militarists, New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia, Peartreestan
Did you like my poem?
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Vaspassia
Haha Yes. It's just as crazy as we are! ;)
I think you'll be a good fit for the region.
New Bacon, Vaspassia
I thought I did this already but I guess I didn't. The Unsettled Lands wants to form some kind of alliance with our region. The founder there finds this region unique and wants to form a special relationship of some kind with us. Friendship was the only thing specifically proposed in the telegrams and I promised the founder there that I would pass along the message to the region.
New Bacon
Thank you!
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
We have another! Welcome Fishguard Way! :)
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
Looking forward to the seat. :)
New Bacon
[nation=short]Peartreestan[/nation], [nation=short]Fishguard Way[/nation], and [nation=short]Militarists[/nation] The region and New Bacon welcomes you!
Oakplumington
And [nation=short]Militarists[/nation], nice campaign and poem.
Working on the constitution a little... :)
It's looking better.
Malcholm
Ah, look at that! I just noticed. Nice WFB New Bacon. ;)
New Bacon
Check it out.
http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=442427
Tell me about any issues, criticism, questions, concerns, comments, grammatical or spelling mistakes, etc. We have six months. We're going to experiment with section two under Sentagon. WA nations will have two votes, non-WA nations will have one vote. Malcholm and I had a talk about this awhile back. The reason why we don't like it is because it may not truly represent the region. But let's try it this way with section 2 and if we don't like it, I can just delete it before we ratify this mess. :)
New Bacon, Malcholm
Now take the capitalized letters in it and read them top to bottom.
Malcholm
Oh, that is good! I did not see that.
*Nods with approval*
New Bacon, Malcholm
Announcement:
I have placed Emergency Instructions at the Founder's Info Center in case a situation ever arises where we are under attack. If you are ever banned from the region just report to our back up region until we figure it out. It's fun to have an executive delegacy but it is not without risks (which is part of the fun). Be prepared.
http://www.nationstates.net/nation=oakplumington/detail=factbook/id=536831
New Bacon
Remove all delegate abilities and make selected person an officer with full capabilities. Issue solved :)
New Bacon
The only thing is that I [I]like[/I] living on the edge. Plus the constitution is designed around the concept of an executive delegacy.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Oh.
I just caught a relic from the Interregional Council days.
"6. Only with the approval of two branches of government can a nation:
.....
* cancel the construction of or initiate the closure of embassies."
I think I'll delete this bullet.
and
"2. The Delegate and the nations serving on the Lunar Council shall retain for themselves the authority to:
...
* propose and to authorize the construction of embassies as well as the authority to promote embassies."
I'm going to change this bullet to
"* propose, to cancel, to reject, to promote, and to initiate the demolition of embassies."
Since the Interregional Council has been abolished we don't have to be as protective of our embassies anymore. However, I would suggest passing protective legislation of some sort for embassies deemed 'worthy of legal protection'. So there you are people. You have complete freedom over embassies now.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Perhaps there was a brief flicker of color on the map. It was really quick, if it happened at all. But the obsolete and nonexistent Oakplumington government followed through on a promise to vote for Vaspassia. Forestavian authorities can't explain this mysterious connection between Oakplumington and Forestavia. It is almost as if...somehow...both of them had shared the same spot on the map. Were they one and the same?
New Bacon, Malcholm

Hello!
Join us instead! ;)
Yeah what Oakplumington said; y'all need to join us!!!!!
It's that recruiter tag.....
New Bacon
Don't count DEN Representative's Vote for the Lunar Council.
Oakplumington
I'm surprised that the vote remained there when that Den nation left. Usually when a poll is set to residents only, your votes disappear when you leave the region.
New Bacon
It finally disappeared. :)
Just like magic.

'Huh, seems like I'll actually need to put in some effort with this one.'
I'll get to it after my AP Comp Sci work.
Forestavia
Have you been here long?
We have three very excellent candidates running for office. If I hadn't previously promised my vote to Vaspassia, I don't think I would know who to vote for! :)
I am certain that no matter who wins, the Lunar Council will benefit tremendously and so will this region's government.
Will there be any debates?
There can be. I would just start by making a speech right on the RMB. Just the simple act of putting up a speech or a platform will encourage others to do something similar. And that will set the stage for a political debate.
Tell us about your vision. What you hope to accomplish. You can point out certain things you don't like, for example, "I don't think the recruiter friendly tag is serving the best interests of the region and my first action in office will be to remove it" or "I plan on proposing construction of embassies with such and such a region because of such and such an alliance" or "I'm working on such and such legislation".
You even can RP your election if you want to. Be as creative as you want. Your country's leader could be the one making the speeches. If you lose the Lunar Council election, your nation's government could vow to run for the Presidency in Sentagon, for example.
If you want to ruffle some feathers, you could propose something crazy like
"Dictator so-and-so has written a proposal to make The Mystical Council a colony of Solid Kingdom and then have your characters talk about the proposal in detail."
Malcholm
Greetings! I have followed you sir Oakplumington to this strange and mystical land, of course, some had to die but I feel it was needed. Expect to hear the voices of my people in your mind soon enough!
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Welcome! :)
We are having elections for the Lunar Council. Feel free to cast a ballot.
I renumbered the entire constitution to make it easier to talk about.
The Constitution is broken in to 6 sections: The Nations, The Regional Government, Sentagon, The Lunar Council, The Delegate, and The Founder. You will notice that every regulation is numbered from 1 through 41.
I'm still fussing over it, but it's pretty much done.
New Bacon
Wow! We have 4 WA nations now! I feel a delegacy change on the horizon...
New Bacon
Quickly! Sell yourself out to everything you can!
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington
My first issue in this region : The Zandikar Times recently reported that Netherfar leads The Mystical Council in deaths from bungee jumping. In response, a handful of advocates have petitioned your office to remedy the unusual situation.
New Bacon
yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnn
New Bacon
Don't let them take away your bungee fun!
A campaign staff member walks in. "Have some coffee mate! You have a big day ahead of you! Italian roast? Black? Cream? Sugar?"
Malcholm
Don't worry people, I'll bring my WA back. I'm doing a quick mission.
New Bacon
Uh oh, I'm the Acting Delegate for a few hours!
New Bacon
Speaking of acting delegate does anybody else want the delagacy? If yes all I ask is that Oakplumington give me appearance authority if there are any changes to the Mystical Council map or useful information that I can post. I really enjoyed being the delegate of the Mystical Council and I see greater things in store for the region. :)
Bacon you leaving the delegacy already???
Well if anybody wants it i'm cool. :)
Oakplumington
As Acting Delegate, I would like to propose the New Bacon Appearance Act to the region. Please vote Yay or Nay on the RMB for this. (Our poll is currently being used for the election.) I will tally up the votes. Two branches of government need to approve.
-------------
***The New Bacon Appearance Act***
Former Delegate New Bacon will retain special authority over appearance in The Mystical Council indefinitely until the day New Bacon's government declares the law null and void.
This law may also be repealed by two branches of government.
*Proposed by Sentagon member New Bacon, and Acting Delegate Oakplumington on 12/19,
Status:
Sentagon approval - 2 votes: New Bacon (2),
Votes against:
Lunar Council approval - 0 votes:
Votes against:
Delegate approval: N/A until either Sentagon or the Lunar Council passes it.
-----------
Also (just to be super thorough), as Acting Delegate, I'm going to appoint New Bacon to a Cabinet position effective immediately. The Cabinet position will remain in effect until another Delegate dismisses New Bacon from that position.
@ New Bacon: What title would you like? I'll give you Map Minister for now.
*Gets idea*
Maybe we could use New Bacon's region as our back up region.
What does everyone think about that?
Forgot that if regions do not have the recruiter friendly tag don't post oops :)
Oakplumington
Hello!
New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Hello How are you?
Good! Anything happening around here?
Not much.
Greetings! :)
Typical. ;)
Hello!
New Bacon invited me here
Oakplumington
You kinda switched on your own hahahahaha. I am in this region. My puppet nation is in the other one.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to vote in our election.
New Bacon
Regional History (not too detailed this time)
No Delegate: 12/19/2015 - Present
Oakplumington resigned from the World Assembly causing New Bacon to lose the delegacy. Oakplumington became the Acting Delegate as no other endorsements had been exchanged.
New Bacon
I'll be bringing my WA back soon. Then everyone will get endorsed! ;)
Well I'm the delegate again.
Oakplumington
I'm on it. I'm running about 12 hours behind.
The Thirteenth Delegate of The Mystical Council
13. New Bacon: 12/20/2015 - Present
After spending 12 hours in Sentagon, New Bacon ascended once more to the delegacy with the endorsement of Sentagon President Vaspassia. Oakplumington returned WA status to The Mystical Council shortly after.
All pieces of legislation making their way through government remained at a standstill.
Vaspassia and Militarists, don't be afraid to vote for yourselves. It's perfectly legit.
kay
New Bacon, Malcholm
While Paradise Place is serving as an emergency hub for The Mystical Council, there are now a total of 5 nations in the region. Some of them are the people who told me the rules. Hehehe.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I was wondering if I could get approval from either the Delegate or a Lunar Council Member to approve embassies with Thunder Dragon. It seems like a cool place.
*Hands over piece of paper for signature*
Malcholm
taking care of some defending stuff; ill bring my WA back later
New Bacon
SC resolution looks good :)
Don't forget to vote FOR! :P
Militarists, New Bacon, Malcholm
I forgot how much fun R/D was until the other day! Have fun! :)
72%!!!!!
I think it'll go through. :)
New Bacon
In other news, my puppet Military Forestavia is about 13 days away from certain death.
Militarists
My mission is taking longer than expected. WA status will be fickle for a day or so. Feel free to endorse one another. You have the freedom.
No Delegate: 12/22/2015 - Present
The founder began rediscovering the thrill of R/D game play. After Oakplumington resigned from the World Assembly, the region was once more left without a delegate. New Bacon returned to Sentagon.
Malcholm
Something like that ;)
I've been here long enough to be awarded the position of Lunar Council President, if that says anything.
In light of the lacking response, Malcholm's Ambassador to the Lunar Council swiftly composes legislation for review by the Council.
***The Bungee Jumper's Retention Act***
In accordance with rising death rates of bungee jumpers in the great nation of Netherfar, Ambassador (the name appears illegible) proposes to enact stricter regulation on the bungee jumping industry. This will go as far as to enact mandatory monthly safety inspections of all equipment by government-employed inspectors until it is seen that the death toll returns to below it's former rates. Any and all participants of the activity are required to undergo rigorous safety training prior to engagement.
*Proposed by Lunar Council President Malcholm.
Status:
Sentagon approval - 0 votes:
Votes against:
Lunar Council approval - 0 votes:
Votes against:
Delegate approval: N/A until either Sentagon or the Lunar Council passes it.
Malcholm's Ambassador votes for passage of the bill. There's no issue with a nation providing the region with the must up-to-date information available.
Oakplumington
Jeez, it's been a few days since I've checked in. I guess finals got me pretty good.
Well...I guess Undertale and Civ 5 may have played a part in it.
Oakplumington
Ah, now there's a thought. Here's some scrambled ideas I cam up with on the fly.
Read this for context: http://myanimelist.net/anime/28907/Gate:_Jieitai_Kanochi_nite_Kaku_Tatakaeri
We could play it out GATE style, and have a massive portal rip into both of our worlds. Such an occurrence could open up huge opportunities in the name of scientific development of the post-modern tech seen in TGHI and the magic-based tech that I think belongs here. I think it'd be really cool to see the people of TGHI encounter the mystical ongoing of this region for the first time. Nothing Nodenpuff level, but y'know, just general magic based tech and abilities. Something akin to Avatar (not the blue people).
([nation=short+noflag]Malcholm[/nation] begins to ponder the potential of angry fire-bending Germans)
Ripping open time-space and parallel dimensions sounds fun.
in that scenario, the UNTA could be a parallel for New Bacon's map, with TGHI being a whole different plane of existence.
Oakplumington
Malcholm's Ambassador grants his approval.
"Seems like a cool place."
New Bacon
I'm a little late to the party, but as the incumbent Lunar Council President I'd like to formally welcome you all to the region. I've been a bit busy as of late, so I didn't realize that i never said anything earlier.
Anyway, welcome to the region :0 hope you all find a comfortable chair to kick back and relax in.
Maybe get some popcorn too.
And a soda.
YEAH.
New Bacon, Oakplumington
Haha! I used my Acting Delegate powers loophole to approve it already!!
Malcholm
"Uncle, it's my destiny. I have to restore my honor and the only way to do that is to capture Antonio Taharqa. He's out there....Probably on his way to Sentagon."
He pulled out a map. "And if not there, then he'll be here." He pointed to a mysterious area called Paradise Place. "There is a specialized rebel group in Pyrosky. They just killed President Aiko. I need to hire them..."
New Bacon, Malcholm
The Fourteenth Delegate of The Mystical Council
14. New Bacon: 12/23/2015 - Present
As Lunar Council elections were preparing to close, Oakplumington once more brought it's endorsement back to The Mystical Council. New Bacon ascended to the Delegacy. This was a complete shock to Oakplumington who had specifically endorsed the governments of Netherfar and Fishguard Way first in an attempt to get new blood involved in regional government. What an exciting and unexpected outcome! New Bacon had previously served as The Mystical Council's 8th, 10th, 12th, and 13th Delegate.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Vaspassia
hehehehehe
*Chuckles an evil chuckle*
Plum Oakton sneaks into Taharqa's office and sneaks off with the endorsement. A bottle of fine wine was left in its place. The alarm was tripped and began to go off. Not knowing what to do he took a lighter and burned the endorsement right there on the spot. Flames ate away at the paper.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Taharqa announces official resignation of the WA delegacy. He was glad to serve as the 8th, 10th, 12, 13& 14th delegate. Taharqa remains the President of New Bacon However.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I'll be hopping my nation around a little bit. Good day all!!!
