Region: The Mystical Council
Holy shi t I won!
Alistia, Southern Forestavia
How're you fine gentlemen doing?
Alistia, Oakplumington, Civilisunio, Apostate
Gagium! Good! It's been awhile. I've been on tour visiting all of our different embassies. I think I'll pay you guys a visit next. How's the FCN doing?
Gagium, Aremnant
Look, a weary traveler!
Welcome to TMC, Soucationic! Help yourself to some refreshments. :)
Exotic Lemon, Aremnant
Yay new members!
Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
New poll up!
Fine, fine...Honestly relations probably aren’t the best between us and your current region, but you can feel free to drop by and visit anytime.
Alistia, Oakplumington, Aremnant
Why is it that every time I spell the word travelling auto correct tries to change it?? I LIKE spelling the word travelling with two L's. My dictionary says that both ways are acceptable! I don't know about this whole artificial computer intelligence thing.... It makes me nervous when computers tell me I'm wrong when I know darn well that I'm right.
*Gets irritated for dramatic effect*
Viridus, Aremnant
I missed the last poll. I have not read Worm. It sounds interesting though!
Aremnant
yeah i spell it with two ll's too but then switched it over to one l because it kept coming up as an error on Word.
Aremnant
Mind accepts both
Aremnant
I'd like to congratulate you all on becoming our first (and so far only) Dedicated Embassy, due to your participation in our Regional Birthday Games and sending Oakplumington as an ambassador to our region for a while a bit back. :)
Alistia, Oakplumington, Parakka Northland, Aremnant
Well you are welcome!
Exotic Lemon
Back in the day...
Parakkan Star Empire
Hows it going Alistia?
Hey everyone,
I am planning on stepping down as delegate pretty soon, so now is your chance to campaign for the spot. I haven't been active enough and I did promise to try to keep my reign short, so now is your chance to run.
Damn that’s a shame will you be leaving or just fading into obscurity?
Exotic Lemon
Neither. I plan on being an active citizen under the new delegate. Before you got here I was delegate for quite a long time (I have the region's record) and its time for someone new to try their hand. When I got elected I was only planning on being a placeholder, fix the government and leave type thing, but I stayed longer than I planned. So its time for someone new. Speaking of, maybe some of you guys want to bring your WA nations here to campaign.
Alistia, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
I’m still around everyone. Just been real busy lately. I got a map drafted up btw, just need to try and remember how to post it to nationstates
Sovereign Of Traxonfree
hello this is Aremnants puppet WA nation I want to run for delagate! how do I get started?
Just state what your plans are and encourage people to endorse you. Also some people will endorse you back if you endorse them first.
Oakplumington, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
Hey people! I am great! You should vote for me! My plans would be to get more people on the LC and give them a little more power. But have no SC.
Oakplumington
Very Important
I'm calling for an emergency meeting between the Delegate's government and my government. We may have an international crisis brewing.
I'm going to be rolling out a color code system which will highlight problems with certain embassy regions. I am hereby placing Kaiserreich and The Wolf Clan both under YELLOW status until further notice. I'll be posting a dispatch later today explaining what exactly that means. Their tensions with each other are beginning to make things complicated for us. I haven't been very impressed with either region lately to be honest and my patience with both of them is growing thin.
@
Exotic Lemon, can you give me a list of all of the officers in your government. You can place the list right here on the RMB for speed. I will telegram all of the officers the situation. I'm sending you a telegram. This situation is delicate so all officers are asked to be mindful of what you reveal and speak about on the RMB.
@
The Lunar Council
Members of the Lunar Council be prepared to gather for the first government action since the government reform. We may have an international situation on our hands. Be prepared for an emergency Lunar Council election. Also be prepared to work with the Delegate's government in a show of regional unity and cooperation.
Parakka Northland
Might be worth messaging my main nation Parakka when you call the meeting as that's the one I check most often
Oakplumington
Someone else will have to pin this since I'm not in the region.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1230223
I am waiting to hear from a couple of different people. I'll be sending out a telegram to TMC's regional officers tonight informing them of the situation. I'm hoping the telegram I send out will say this:
"I'm moving TWC and KR back to green status. I overreacted earlier today and would like the regional government to know that the misunderstanding has been resolved."
That's the telegram I would prefer to send out. We'll see what happens.
Parakka Northland
It would be nice to see some fresh blood in the delegacy. Good luck on your campaign! :)
Exotic Lemon, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
I have received an invitation to join an interregional alliance. I feel that now is either the worst time to receive such an invitation or it is the perfect time. I will disclose the information only to government officers as it is of a sensitive nature.
New Vedan
Looks I picked a perfect time to check nationstates.
Oakplumington
lol! ;)
There's always some new drama going down on NS.
Yeah, what exactly is the war between those two regions about anyways?
Good News TMC!
I overreacted yesterday. KR and The Wolf Clan have both been upgraded to Blue regions. The emergency government meeting has been called off. The Lunar Council election will take place on time during the full moon but we are accepting candidates early.
I'll send you a telegram tonight.
Exotic Lemon
Oh good
Hey quick question about the poll, first what’s the difference between solar and lunar council and second can I be in both?
Oakplumington
Yes, you can be both a part of the Founder's government as well as the Delegate's government (for example, Lemon is both Delegate and also a Lunar Councillor). The Lunar Council is an ancient body of government from the olden days of TMC. I have sworn my allegiance to protect it. There are five seats to the Lunar Council and each hold power over communications currently. The Delegate's government consists of the Delegate plus the seven remaining officer spots. A Delegate can change the government however they want. Each new delegate will have to decide what to keep the same or what to change from the previous administration. The Solar Council is part of Lemon's government. I forgot if it was supposed to be legislative or judicial in nature.
If the region grows it might become more difficult to hold a position in both governments. But we're small enough right now that it's easy to achieve.
New Vedan
Alright man I think I’ll run then
Oakplumington, Aremnant
Dooooooo eeeeeet!
Aremnant
As a delegate could I cut the LC? Or is that founder protected?
Founder protected. I never wanted the whole split government thing but forest and I couldn't find a compromise. Without Wolf, I believe parakka is the most senior LC member as well.
Oakplumington
Happy 4th of July my fellow muricans.
I see Oak is still sucking on kaiserreich's German themed lolipop, sad.
Definitely Not Gyuamno
Happy Independence Day to you as well my fellow Lunar Councillor. Yes, I've put a lot of time into defending regional sovereignty before the WA Security Council. I believe that we can benefit from having a close relationship with KR.
Besides.... their lollipop is my favorite flavor - strawberry! ;)
You could run for a seat if you want to.
The Dylanation, Welcome to The Mystical Council! It's good to have you. :)
In anticipation of Lemon's abdication, I have granted the Lunar Council appearance authority to assist with the transition of power. As a reminder, the Delegate spot is always up for grabs. All that is necessary is to gain the endorsements to take the position.
Exotic Lemon
Alistia you know you are already on the LC right? The current council is [by seniority] Parakka, Lemon, Oak, you, open spot since Wolflandil resigned
Alistia, Oakplumington
Pssst. I think Alistia wants two seats on the LC. That would be 40% of the entire LC.
Alistia, Exotic Lemon
Hi! I'm a representative from 21St Century Rome.
I've been assigned to your region and I wish to get to know you guys better and serve as a diplomat between our two regions.
New Vedan, Oakplumington, Parakka Northland
It's good to have you! :)
Anything our two regions should work on?
Galvatronus Prime
The Military makes a comeback! Feel free to sign up! Just telegram me or quote me on the RMB.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=oakplumington/detail=factbook/id=1231374
I think our regions should just work on solidifying our relationship. Maybe having coordinating RP's or something to get to know everyone well.
Do you mind sharing a little bit about your region?
New Vedan, Alley Cats
Sign me up, I don’t have a set work schedule so I cannot join the elite forces I’m afraid. But hit me up before we need to do something and I’ll see if my schedule will allow it.
Alley Cats
A black helicopter lands beside you and a red eyed man in a suit emerges guarded by several equally red eyed soldiers
“Why of course Komrad i Krogar Varshak Have been appointed by my fellow Sacred Councilors show you our beautiful region, come let us fly”
he and the solders then proceed to grab you and rush back into the helicopter before you can say no, which promptly takes off and cloaks itself.
“Now then my Roman friend if I may ask what is your name? And more importantly....” he turns to reveal a fully stocked liquor cabinet at the back of the helicopter. “what would you like to drink?”
Alley Cats, Galvatronus Prime
Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay.
Alley Cats, Galvatronus Prime
Galvatronus...Galvatronus Prime it is.
And just water if you will.
Alley Cats
I switched out my puppet Alley Cats with northern Forestavia.

So why is it when I don't want to be DELEGATE (and have been inactive for weeks) everyone endorses me BUT WHEN I ACTUALLY RUN FOR DELEGATE, NO ONE ENDORSES ME? Y'all have some issues. Big daddy is back for now, children. Any who... I have no sweeping reforms hate to say it. If I remain delegate for a significant amount of time I'll publish some things I may want to do but there's really no point because by tomorrow or the coming days I won't be delegate anymore so it's a waste of time to even start planning when the delegate changes at a drop of a hat.
Oakplumington
me OWWWWWWW ;)
Oakplumington
Alright Big Daddy! I'm also counting on you to sign up for the Lunar Council elections. There's still time since the full moon is way out there. You interested?
Definitely Not Gyuamno
I've lost every single time I ran, I'll just be collecting pity votes at this point 😭
You should still put your name on the ballot. And also campaign. You'll be running against Vedan so you're going to have to campaign hard. You in?
Sure throw my name it, no promise on any deliveries 😂
Oakplumington
Who sent the invite
Definitely Not Gyuamno, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
If people endorse me (that won’t happen)
Then next WA update.
Please endorse me....
How goes it region goers?
Oakplumington
“Water eh? Well if that’s your choice.” He beckons to a soldier standing next to a mini fridge who pulls a bottle of water out and passes it to another solder who hands it to you using her...tail?
“So Galvatronus I’m sure your eager to know more about the nation that owns this helicopter are you not?” He smiles “were from New Vedan one of the oldest nations in the region and certiantly the most important one of them all. Our people came from space century’s ago, they got lost during a important mission for the emperor of Vedan and wound up settling down here where we have been trying our best to enlighten these poor savages for a long time, at one point we actually gave up on trying to civilize the natives and closed ourselves off to the rest of the region. Recently however New Vedan has once started to emerge and engage with our neighbors, we have to if we are ever to teach them of the star kings glory.” He pauses for a bit while looking down bellow. “were flying over the remains of Zikzator right now, it was one of the first three nations in this region along with New Vedan and Oakplumington, my grandmother came from there when she was in her twenties fleeing from the violence and despair that followed the collapse of the Zolo Wilson regime. If only they had the gods for guidance...” he continues gazing for a while before snapping back to his senses. “Sorry, seems I got a little sidetracked there, we will be in Guana City soon, capital of the New Vedan, you my friend will be the first visitor out of region in a long long time.”
Galvatronus Prime
Ill endorse you if U endorse me. In fact I’ll endorse anyone as long as they endorse me....
Oakplumington, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
First visitor? It's an honor.
But, why have there been none from out of Vedan?
“You mean old Vedan? Well the awnser to that is simple, we lost contact with them when we landed here and don’t even know if they still exist or not. and even if we did manage to make contact then there is a very real possibility that they will expect us to rejoin the empire and probably use our territory as a staging area to take over the entire region. Which would not be difficult at all to do because they have a extremely large tech and population advantage over us and the rest of the region. Our ancestors were not a colonizing expedition, therefore we did not come fully prepared to settle this planet and lost a great deal of our knowledge and technology when we separated from the mother country, still we did not have any trouble subduing the former inhabitants of new vedan with what we did still have and our arrival sped up technological progress a great deal, it was called the vedanian exchange and resulted with both sides getting new foods, technologies, phisoohical works, plagues etc. it’s mostly ancient history by this point but the result is that New Vedan largely lost the tech advantage we once had and successfully integrated into the mystical council. Of course that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of people out there that would love to see us rejoin our brethren in the stars but I would say the majority opinion is that we were brought here for a reason, we haven’t had any contact with Vedan in century’s now, our culture and history has diverged since then, we even have our own patron diety for New Vedan, one that is most likely not worship anywhere else including the empire. New Vedan is apart of the mystical council now, we do not need some other Vedan swooping down and interfering with our new home. If it even still exists.”
Galvatronus Prime
Old Vedan sounds like a real good story.
It was, (old) Vedan is a future tech nation I used back in New Worlds and Dark Stars years ago, and it quickly became my main nation. I haven’t figured out what I want to do with it yet. The group I played with split a long time ago so I’m gonna have to find a new region for it and craft up some new lore.
Galvatronus Prime
If you wanna be Delegate, you've got to act like a delegate. Endorse everyone! Hand them out like candy. Then campaign for the position. You have to make the case to the other WA members why you should be in charge. Try to persuade us. What would your government look like and what goals would you have?
This concept intrigues me.
New Vedan
KAISERREICH. Check this out The Vedigothic Imperium. It's an interregional alliance modeled after the Roman Empire. We have the opportunity to join as an equal member. I'm okay with it so long as we maintain our own region's sovereignty. If we're interested, I'll get the details about what our responsibilities would be.
I founded the region late in 2014. Vedan, Zikzator, and I RP'd for awhile. Then the RP died. I was going to turn it into a religion-based region but that didn't take off either. It was mostly a dead zone until I think late in 2015. Then Malcholm, New Bacon, and Vedan came over and we started the community. We've had ups and downs through the years. We've had pranks here. We've fought with each other. We've roleplayed. We've defended. We've raided. We were invaded several times throughout our history by The Black Riders, Nugut, Cimeria, The Red Fleet, Alliance Of Absolute Monarchs, and most recently The Black Hawks. But we always bounce back because that's how amazing we are. We've experienced decay and inactivity. We've experienced stability and political success. We've managed to somehow avoid all merge proposals and even tend to be highly suspicious of alliances in general. We are a fiercely independent region. We are a unique collection of players. We are very seldom unanimous on anything. As a result we have remained a region without a constitution which also makes us unique from other regions. I have recently set up a dual government system, one that is run by myself as founder and one that is run by the delegate. The Delegate's government is the primary government system we operate under. The Lunar Council serves as a safety valve in case the Delegate's government fails to respond to the needs of the region. The Lunar Council serves to mitigate instability in the midst of time periods where the Delegacy changes frequently as it often does in this region. This has traditionally been a region with an executive delegate, no passwords, and no endorsement caps or requirements. Historically, we've been a region with a fluid embassy policy but I'm working to change that so that embassies are more important to us going forward. We are about to hit our five year mark this fall! :)

It's good to see RP returning to the region.
New Vedan
Thanks :)
Galvatronus Prime
I also would advise not being disappointed at not being delegate in the most recent switch-up. Delegates switch plenty of times, and also the longer you are here the more likely people are to endorse you. Parakka, Gyuamno, Alistia, and I have all been delegate at least 5 times, I think parakka has the record at around 12-13. Also getting involved in the delegate's government is a good way to gain some support.
New Vedan, Parakka Northland, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
I’m not opposed to a Interregional alliance but i do take issue with the whole
“Notice: Fascism, National Socialism, Marxism, Bigotry, and any other Extremist Thinking are Strictly Prohibited.“
I believe that people have a right to RP fascist and communist regimes. Hell new vedan was communist at one point in its history. I don’t want anybody limiting what type of government we can or cannot have.
Oakplumington
Boy, Deutsche Bank is getting rocked! They were running into trouble a few years ago but didn't expect to pull out of global equities.
Wow! So much history in this region, I love it!
You all are exactly the kind of people that we would love to be closely connected to over at 21St Century Rome.
New Vedan, Oakplumington, Parakka Northland, Sovereign Of Traxonfree
Oak left out that big daddy is actually the original regional founder, creating the region from his magical touch in the year 0
New Vedan, Oakplumington, Galvatronus Prime
Are you implying that you know magic?
Definitely Not Gyuamno
And it looks like Gyuamno just made Russian the official second language of the region. Interesting choice.
Definitely Not Gyuamno
Consider the title Big Daddy akin to the title Dalai Lama. He who holds the title Big Daddy is the successor and physical reincarnation of the spirit of the original Big Daddy. Magic? Who knows!
Oakplumington, Galvatronus Prime
It kinda fits honestly, Russian federation of politics and all that.
Oakplumington
And I believe you currently hold the title.
It is a spiritual journey, my friend. Maybe you too can bear the title one day.
New Vedan
As WA Delegate and царь, I am upgrading The Bear Country to blue status!
A very noble region, dedicated to a great cause, and extremely welcoming! A beautiful region to have an embassy with!
This is going to be YUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE!
Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
The helicopter lands in a bustling city, you catch a glimpse of what looks to be a large spaceship of Vedanian design from the helicopter before it decends “That’s the Spirit of Ciel. One of the ships our ancestors arrived on, thing actually saw combat in the war against Holliania years before our ancestors departed the empire. Most of our ships were dismantled long ago to use as building materials or to reverse engineer there technology, but we kept that one intact as a museum to our people’s history. They say it still flys; not sure if I’d wanna try to go into space in it tho.”
Oakplumington
It would be an honor.
Oakplumington
That's where we first met.
