Region: The Mystical Council
Supreme Leader Vlad Farewell laughs out loud. "You're not even a libertarian! You label yourself that way, but haven't understood the principles of libertarianism" does he say, pointing at Plum Oakton. "But you know what? That makes you sympathetic!" He waits for a second, then continues: "I am sorry to disappoint you, but...we don't care what you do to the Submarine Group! Your attempts to launch a counter-revolution in Libertarian are pathetic!" Farewell then stares at Oakton, waiting for a few moments. He shouts at Oaktons face: "PA-THE-TIC! We have the strongest antifascist military force this world has ever seen, and the bunch of clowns you call 'defenders' aren't even able to properly defend their allies. You know what? We will destroy all of your allies! ALL! And when we have destroyed all of your allies, we will come and get you! We will crush you like insects...CRUSH YOU!"
Oakplumington
"You claim to be liberators but you are the oppressors! I think we're done here." Plum Oakton spat on the leader's shoes. "I'm more a libertarian than you'll ever be!" His long rabbit ears twitched in annoyance.
{OOC - He's a human-sized rabbit. Long story on that one.}
Vlad Farewell looks at his shoes, then to Oakton. He then raises his fist and knock Oakton out. He turns arounds, lets Oakton lie in his blood, and doesn't say a word.
"Ahhhh," he groaned his glasses flew off of his face and broke as they clattered against the cement.
Security officials escort the Vlad Farewell's leader out of the regional capitol, as Oakton hopped back to the Lunar Council Chamber. "This is not over!"
THE FLAG WILL BE CHANGED AND I WILL POST THE PROPOSED DESIGN!!!
Au912 Zombie Cure Humanitarian Mission, Oakplumington
Yeah, so it looks like libertarian was invaded last night, New Bacon. That's the big news of the day.
Take that, Vlad Farewell! You're flag of oppression and tyranny is coming down. Our Executive New Bacon has said so in big capital letters! Oh Snap! ;)
I have to admit though this is pretty fun. You never know what's going to happen next on NS. Anymore, I log in here wondering what adventures will take place.
Monotheistic Deities
It's officially campaign season! The first and second Lunar Council seats are up for reelection. This poll will run for seven days so that all of our nations here have a chance to campaign and we get to know our candidates. This is the first election for our region let's see how it goes.
Protestors who once viewed The Red Fleet as an important force against fascism now have a different opinion. Many say that they are barbarians who seek to attack capitalism and wreak havoc on freedom-loving nations. Protests are taking place in cities throughout Oakplumington.
Post self-deleted by New Bacon.
Protests are also going on across New Bacon for the removal of the Red Communist-like flag for the region. The Bacon people are very anti-communist!!!
[a delegation of officers and guards disembark from the submarine still docked in the bay and arrive on shore, hurrying to the Lunar Council chambers. the doors burst open, with Captain M. R. Misley leading. The ship's political officer, lieutenant, and four guards accompany him.]
"The impeachment proceedings against The Red Fleet Submarine Group V are nothing more than a groundless political attack!" bellows Misley. "A separate squadron of The Red Fleet has engaged in a political maneuver in this other region. Our actions in this region as a member of its Lunar Council are not affected by this! To accuse us otherwise is baseless, anti-communist rhetoric!"
Misley pauses, pulling at his jacket to ensure that it looks pristine and straightening his peaked cap. Satisfied that his appearance is immaculate, he continues, more calmly. "The current political situation in the nearby region Libertarian was planned and executed by The Red Fleet's Comintern Squadron. This vessel took no part in the planning or execution of this operation, and sails as a member of a different squadron entirely. A submarine group from our squadron has been dispatched to assist, but it is patently absurd to suggest that the officers or sailors of this ship, which has been docked just off shore for the past several weeks, was in any way responsible."
"The current impeachment proceedings brought against me are clearly motivated by political bias, and therefore cannot be allowed to continue. The fact that the only recourse in such a proceeding is to appeal to the very same body that began impeachment proceedings in the first place is a miscarriage of justice in the extreme!"
Misley inhales deeply, then motions to the Red Fleet ensign on a flagpole in the council chambers. "And I have just seven words for you: We'll keep the red flag flying here!"
Yeah will see about that. I assure you it won't be up there long.
Plum Oakton hops in, nose still bleeding from Vlad Farewell. He sits down at the council table across from Misley. He looked over at President Tarharqa. "Perhaps," he began "I was a little hasty - maybe a little too suspicious. Misley, I have to admit that even though our region is anti-communist that doesn't necessarily mean that nations with a communist form of government have to feel - unwelcome. I have been in office a long time in my country and it would be a dark day in Oakplumington's history to start some sort of witch hunt for communists. What do you think Tarharqa? Perhaps abolishing the flag that Misley established will be enough for now? By the way, I do like the new design, very much." He leaned back and drank some Alistian Rum while holding a napkin over his bleeding nose.
President Taharqa: " I guess abolishing the flag can be enough but I want no goofy stuff from the Red Fleet! The Alistian Rum must be good from the UTNA! Hope he overcomes his hangover. Hahahahaahahahahahahahaahahaah!!!!!!!!!! Good day."
"Looks like our Executive has had one too many, Misley. Alright, like he said, no goofy stuff. You can serve out your term in office. I will not pursue the impeachment. But don't give me a reason to. And mark my words, if I find any connection between the situation in Libertarian and your squadron, Captain..." He gave a stern look - well - as stern a look as a rabbit could muster. "So Misley, what do [I]you[/I] think of our proposed flag design?"
Post self-deleted by New Bacon.
The 51 states of New Bacon are having their eyes on the Red Fleet as [nation=short]Oakplumington[/nation] states that he would remain in the Council. Remember,
THE BACON CIVILIANS AND DUAL CIVILIANS ARE WATCHING!!!!!!
Plum Oakton's approval ratings fall as Oakplumington backs down from pursuing an impeachment process. Political analysts suspect that the President is worried about his international reputation. "Discrimination against nations for their form of government could serve as some potent propaganda for The Red Fleet," said one. For now, The Mystical Council will remain stuck in the middle of a delicate balance between having a member of The Red Fleet on the Lunar Council and fighting for the natives of Libertarian.
Captain M. R. Misley nods and speaks. "You can rest assured, comrade, that the crew of this vessel will remain here. We intend to continue to lay off your largest city, and listen to your rock and roll while we conduct missile drills. Then, when we are finished, the only sound you will hear is our laughter while we sail to North Korea, where the sun is warm, and so is the comradeship."
"As for the proposed flag," he says, walking toward the flagpole holding the Red Fleet ensign. "It is terrible. Have you never studied heraldry, comrades? Monarchist trash, sure, but good design principles all the same! Blue on green? It violates the rule of tinctures!"
He grabs the bottom of the Red Fleet ensign and holds it out, fully displaying the flag.
"Now here is a flag! The red flag of socialism adorned with the gold saltire and stars of our Fleet. It is well within the rules of heraldry! Described in that old, bourgeois language of heraldry, you might call it 'Gules, a saltire Or between four mullets voided of the second.'"
Seeing the blank faces of the other delegations, he explains. "'Gules,' that's red. By itself, it describes the 'field'—the background—of the flag. On top of that field, we place a 'saltire'—that's the 'X' shape—colored 'Or.' From the Latin for 'gold,' not the conjunction. And that saltire is placed between four 'mullets'—that's stars, not a haircut!—that are 'voided,' meaning they have their centers punched out, leaving just an outline. Those stars are given the color of the second element, which was the gold saltire, so they are also gold."
"You don't have to appreciate the goals of socialism to recognize that this is far and away the superior flag, both in its adherence to the rules of heraldry and its meaningful symbolism."
Monotheistic Deities
Plum Oakton rubs his chin thoughtfully while looking back and forth between the two flags, "Well, indeed you have quite an eye for these things. You have some hidden artistic talent in there, Captain." He took another swig of rum. "You should consider working with the New Baconian flag committee. For your, flag making knowledge is far superior to ours. If your squadron and the Baconian government work together on this, our region could make history as far as the history of flag making is concerned. We should stay true to flag theory." After gazing at it for awhile, "Oh, but it's so warm! Where are the cooler colors? I admit we need something flashy and bright - a true flag - but this, this is over the top, Misley."
After drinking some more Alistian rum, Plum Oakton when outside and swapped flags while hiccupping. "What do you - hic, think?"
He sat back down. "Well, it's basically the same thing that we had. Wouldn't you agree, Captain? Red background, yellow stars with holes in them...."
[I]MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!![/I]
The Red Fleet delegation saw the new flag fluttering from the flagpole as Oakton returned to the chamber. "... yellow stars with holes in them..." he trailed off.
M. R. Misley turned to his Political Officer, who was furiously rummaging through a bag. Finally, he produced a worn copy of the regional consitution. The two men huddled over the papers, murmuring comments to one another. Finally, Misley rose.
"The Founder has undertaken an executive action contrary to the constitution of this region. Powers of the Executive, clause three, specifies that the Executive has the authority to establish a regional flag. The same section, clause one, specifies that the 'Delegate shall serve as the Executive,' and only 'in the event that there is no delegate' does the Founder serve as Executive."
Misley gestured to the Baconian delegation. "As this region has a duly-elected Delegate serving as Executive, this action to abolish the Red Fleet Ensign as the regional flag has been taken contrary to regional law and must be corrected!"
The Red Fleet delegation downed a shot of rum and broke into a rousing rendition of "The Red Flag."
Monotheistic Deities
"Alright, you caught me! It was unconstitutional. I hope that President Tarharqa isn't too furious with me. You know, legend has it that the Baconian President has a wild sense of humor. Oh, don't worry, I'll put your flag back after I get a few chuckles out of this - uh - prank." He respectfully folded Red Flag, well - as best as a drunk rabbit could (part of it touched the ground). "Gentleman, I congratulate you on your - uh constitutional -hiccup- knowledge. I must admit that I - hiccup - underestimated the Submarine Group. We need nations like you on the council to serve as - hiccup - the watchdogs of overbearing government."
Monotheistic Deities
"It seems youve got you head in a tizzy again, Oakton!" A powerful, looming man stood in the shadows behind Captain Misley and his Officer. He stepped put, revealing his rippling build and daunting complexion. If the Deitians were indeed a race of gods, this man would bear to be the equivalent of Zeus.
He gave a hearty laugh, gently mocking Plum for his drunkard habits.
"It seems you've lost your whereabouts, Plum. While Misley here makes a fair point, President Tarharqa was still completely behind adopting a new flag! Would it be so wrong to suggest that maybe he 'instructed' you to do it for him?"
He took a long sip of Alistian rum.
"And my -hic- gentlemen, how I do enjoy this - might I call it - 'merry' new flag you've adopted."
Oakplumington
OOC: OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION; President change!
IC: Spontaneous Elections occurred, and in a completely asinine decision to use lottocracy Ging Newtrich is replaced by Nikolas Sica. The people of Monotheistic Deities have been thrown into an uproar as a result of the matter, and martial law has been declared until Nikolas has had an opportunity to tour the country propagating his alarmingly similar beliefs to Ging.
Woo!
The Red Fleet Victims Union
THE FLAG HAS NOW BEEN ALTERED. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS RED FLEET!!!!!
Oakplumington
After sobering up a little, Oakton stood at the window admiring the new flag. "We need to interpret the symbolism of this flag. Maybe Captain Misley could provide some insight. Blue shall represent the depth of the Mystical Council, the infinite subconscious. The intersecting green lines of life represent our region's growth as our connections with other regions also grow. Yellow represents the light. The moon and star are those heavenly bodies which guide us, providing our civilizations with stability and predictability."
He looked at the rest of them while pouring a cup of coffee.
New Bacon
Welcome to the region The Red Fleet Victims Union! I hope you enjoy your time here. :)

I never would have guessed! I got your new president on the WFB.
Monotheistic Deities
Welcome to the Mystical Council AU912! :)
(I forgot to welcome you to the region before.)
President Keith Beldan steps forward with a slight limp betraying his normally brisk style, his disheveled designer suit looking slightly comical.
On behalf of the nations of Libertarian and Libertarian Capitalist Zone 716, I wish to thank the nations of The Mystical Council for your support in our ongoing time of need. It is my hope this consulate will facilitate our future relations.
Oakplumington
"You are very welcome, Mr. President," Oakton replied. "It is our desire to help other nations and regions when we can. We do our best. I will have the Oakplumington Congress approve some funding to help with the construction of the consulate, as a gesture of goodwill. You may also claim some space on our map if you would like." He pointed to a table. "Help yourself to some refreshments. We have cookies, wine, tea, coffee, vegetable trays, and - these things, whatever they are." He held up something kind of greenish looking.
I saw! Nikolas has a long history in MD; this isn't his first presodency.
If you guys are interested in alternate flag desingns: http://s6.postimg.org/uv2arbfj5/tmp_28874_flag_1_555030886.png
I'll be back soon. Take good care of The Mystical Council for me. Don't give the password out unless you know the nations really well. With everything going on with the red fleet we can't afford to take chances.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Just to reiterate - this password is temporary. It will be lifted after a few days and we will have open borders once again.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Libertarian has been liberated, at least for the moment.
Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington
I'm back!
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
Ay! Not much happened while you were gone, sadly.
Actually, Libertarian was liberated, but I haven't kept up with that too much
Nothing warms my heart more than free libertarians!! ;) Looks like UTNA has been active. So just a quick announcement, The Mystical Council has open borders again. I'm still looking for a retroactive vote from the council to make the password security act constitutional. Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington, and New Bacon were for it.
That's about all on my end. The beach was nice. It was my third time seeing the ocean.
Elections will be soon. Just give me about a day to get back into the swing of things. But right now it looks like you and Vedan have no challengers. I need to see a calendar and find out when the next full moon is.
Monotheistic Deities
WELCOME BACK!
Oakplumington
Several New Embassies opened up while you were gone oakplumington. That is about the only thing that happened.
Oakplumington
Libertarian has a new delegate and a new password. :)
Oakplumington
Getting back into the swing of things here.
Announcements -
As soon as Libertarian doesn't need my endorsement, I'm going to bring it back here.
Did we ever get Firstguy or Vedan to sign off on that security act a week ago? The act is technically unconstitutional without the approval of just one more council member.
Also, I just checked the election sign up poll. It looks like Monotheistic Deities and Vedan will continue to serve on the Lunar Council by default, unless a challenger pops up.
Well, I thought I wasn't going to have any problems sleeping, but here I am typing away. Not much new here. I suppose I should start checking my other countries before they cease to exist.
Monotheistic Deities
I'm sure firstguy1 saw it and I'll talk to him.
I see that regional raiders tried to access regional control from the region of Nugut as well!!!!!
That's interesting. Looks like they maybe planning a raid. There has been a lot of nugut movement. Oh, well. On with the show.
The full moon is today. Because of my brief absence, elections haven't gone according to schedule. Due to lack of interest, we actually do not have to have an election in the traditional sense.
Monotheistic Deities will maintain its seat on the council. Vedan ceased to exist which means everyone moves up a spot on the council. (Not sure if I need to include this in the constitution.)
Monotheistic Deities
I think the Lunar Council is all fixed for now. Let me know if there are any errors. This election was easy since we didn't have any contestants.
Monotheistic Deities
I withdrew my embassy request to United Territories Of South America seeing that it was an unconstitutional act. Only the Executive has that authority. Oops. ;)
New Bacon
We have an open spot on the Lunar Council!!
Any volunteers? Anyone up for a special election?
This is the info I have on the situation from the activity page.
15 hours ago: I Know Your Address relocated from The Mystical Council to Nugut.
•15 hours ago: North Pacific Spy Agent 13 relocated from The Mystical Council to Nugut.

So what exactly happened? Did they try to raid us and just didn't have enough endorsements to pull it off? I'm not quite sure what was going on there.
Likely. I had raiders move in and out of Disboard at some point, but they didn't raid it. I'd say they're using smaller regions as proxies to try and clog up their recent government histories?
GET ON IT! Despite the opinion of the UTNA, I think it'd be cool for them to have a sister region like the West Pacific has the East. Building embassies is the first step to international recognition!
They did try to raid us actually.
That quote is confusing because I actually never said that hahaha.
I'm really puzzled because I actually never said that on Monotheistic Deities RMB Quote which is scratching my head now!
The quote is " I'm the executive of this region and never actually said any of this because Monotheistic Deities changed it simply to get my attention on this matter" WEIRD BECAUSE I NEVER SAID THAT! :o
Monotheistic Deities
Monotheistic Deities
General Hoffman was ejected because the nation was a raider from Nugut! I checked the history on the nation's page.
Monotheistic Deities
Excellent leadership and intelligence. History has been made today. For the first time in the region's history the eject option was used.
This could end here. Or (he he he) Hoffman could return to make a case for himself. Or (I'm loving this too much) if Hoffman is felt to be a truly menacing threat, New Bacon could send a proposal to the council to approve the ban of Hoffman. The ban may be temporary, permanent, or have various other fascinating strings attached to it.
Nugut always keeps things interesting.
Monotheistic Deities
I thought that North American Federation and UTNA were sort of sister regions. Maybe more like twins. But I'd be cool with triplets!
I just realized I've been really slacking on the whole Interregional Council thing. I'll get on that next week or within a few days. Good work everyone!
We still have an open spot on the council so Minecraftdude, Horde X, AU912, feel free. Imagine the power! Just think of the power!!!! Bwahahahaa!
Braaaaaaaaaaaaains
Oakplumington
We've got sooo many brains. In fact, we could be one of the smartest regions. I'd have to check the stats on that though.
And now I must subject you all to a star trek quote. "We are shmart. We have power. He's on our side now."
I think I will send a proposal to the council
Oakplumington
That zombie nation is also from Nugut he knew to get out before I ejected him
Post self-deleted by New Bacon.
The Oakplumington government officials report to the council chamber to await the proposal. Popcorn and beer are available to guests watching the proceedings.
As long as Oakplumington is active and in the region, he can shut down a raid by taking the rader delegate's administrative powers away. However, due to the pain raiders have caused regions without founders, I support permitting New Bacon and / or Oakplumington to expel them.
New Bacon
The Oakplumington representative sat down at the table. "I believe that we should approve bans on a case by case basis. You see, there are several problems with the current proposal. First, anyone labeled a raider could be banned so we would need to have a clear definition of who or what a "raider" is. Secondly, the proposal hands too much power to the Executive. While the nation of New Bacon has been an excellent leader in our region, we on the council should be wary of handing too much power to the office of the Executive. What if down the road we have an Executive who chooses to expand the definition of "raider"? What if nations are banished without the due process of justice that only we on the council can offer? I say we should vote against this proposal. Let us not forget that Submarine Group is not only a member of the council but also a raider from The Red Fleet. My government would be more supportive of a specific ban of a specific nation from Nugut. I can promise no more than that. Perhaps if we make an example of one of Nugut's raiders, they will get the message. However, even this idea could backfire, emboldening them in their desire to invade our region. And so my fellow council members, we must determine whether to act or whether to follow the wisdom of non-action."
This representative's name was Frogcha. He paused to drink some water. He was wearing black robes similar to those of judges. He had recently been appointed to serve on the council seat by the Oakton Administration.
[spoiler=Silly Response]That's racist! Singling out raiders because of their ethnic background is discriminatory![/spoiler]
[spoiler=Serious Response]Honestly, just from reading that, I now want to raid you. :\[/spoiler]
Oakplumington
I think they should be expelled because the region is under moderate alert according to the executive.
So far right now Monotheistic Deities said he does not care; Oakplumington says no.
[spoiler=Serious Response]You'd better shut up before I declare war on you[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Benevolent Response]If you don't raid we'll let ya stay for a while son[/spoiler]
Got this from Alpha Wolf in a telegram.
"We have changed from Defender to Mercenary. If you are ok with that we can. keep embassies open, ask your region and then let me know."
Personally, it doesn't bother me how they run their region.
I'm pretty sure this falls under the powers of the Executive. So New Bacon, you have the final say on this one. If you're cool with the tag change in Wolves Of Night, then that's cool with me. I don't really predict any outrage from the council or the nations but you can never be sure how they will react.
I'm pretty cool with everyone raider or not. But just a heads up. I, the founder, have reserved for myself, powers to reverse blatantly unconstitutional actions taken by invaders.
But anyways, it is a fairly overreaching policy. I don't really like the idea of banning nations at all. But, if we do start doing that, I believe that we should banish specific nations based on specific actions. Raiders should also have the opportunity of a trial by the Lunar Council. But then again. If all out war is declared.... I don't know.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
As long as there are no set ups I am cool with it
The embassy between wolves of night and us does need to stay open though.
Oakplumington
Those people in that region crack me up.
But anyways I am watching those raiders very very VERY closely because they will try to override the regional delegate's powers to tear the region up. It has happened before. They'll do anything regarding changing flags and all of that so that is why when there is no delegate present [nation=short]oakplumington[/nation] you should bar regional delegate access when there is no delegate it will protect the region.
Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
If you guys want my advice (I don't know if you do): While it is possible for raiders to screw with your region, there is no way we can break it up. Your founder is active and therefore can change everything back. However, that is not my way of saying you guys are safe. With 4 endos on your Delegate, it makes it easier to defend your region from a tag raid. If you don't want to be raided, change the delegacy to non-exec. If you don't, and you do get raided (doesn't matter who it's by) pm me and I can help get your wfe and flag back.
Banning raiders on sight, is not a good strategy. Some raiders are just sociable, and like to talk to other players openly. Banning raiders who have raided you/are planning to is okay though.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities, Oakplumington, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate
That is when there is no delegate present to secure the spot it needs to be placed as non-executive when a delegate is absent. But you should not have to worry about that now. [nation=short]oakplumington[/nation]
The founder has permanent powers of the region so therefore I cannot ban raiders without the council's permission to do so. If I were to make a wrong move, [nation=short]oakplumington[/nation] would use his emergency powers to get me dissolved because banning people does create regional harm in my perspective. Also it creates national harm when Oakplumington uses his emergency powers against me which will strip my nation apart and then my Union falls.
And the reality is and I'm not trying to belittle myself but the reality is, [nation=short]oakplumington[/nation] is above me really because he is the regional founder he may be in the council but he is the one that is at the top I come second if it were regular role play. That is why I do things carefully.
Send Alpha Wolf a telegram saying that you're cool with the tag change and I think the embassy will stay open.
They are a cool bunch!
A couple things...
The Executive would not be the "Executive" without executive powers. So I will never ever take those powers away. (I know some raider out there is smiling right now - I can feel it.) Constitutionally speaking, I cannot take those powers away. The Founder has some special powers to prevent blatant constitutional violations but is limited in what he can do.
The next thing is that no one is really above anyone else in this region because of the way I'm designing the constitution (I'm aiming for the perfect balance of power). And what's going to be so awesome about this region is that no single nation will have too much power.
But here's the exciting part. Theoretically - hypothetically - possibly - We could get raided. But let's say the raiders were not just in it for messing up the region, some may actually stay and run for office. Raiders who are willing to RP and affect changes in our regional policy while doing it. We already have one case where this has happened. Remember Submarine Group? That nation is an invader from The Red Fleet and at times has participated on the Council. This is why the Executive has the power to eject but does not have the power to ban. The Executive has to choose how to use his influence. Because the ejected nation could come back and make a really good case and start a regional political party. Anything can happen here! And that's the magic of it!
So like the cool thing about this region is that raids are not necessarily "a bad thing" unless unconstitutional actions are taken by the invaders. At least that's my vision.
Monotheistic Deities
Just for the record Oakplumington and Forestavia are all my countries. We still have an empty spot on the Lunar Council. There is only one country here who does not hold a seat in government.
*Gives AU912 a friendly nudge*
Would you like to hold a seat on the council?
Perhaps I can consider taking a more active role outside Libertarian but I haven't decided if that's what I want to do.
[spoiler=my original intent for this nation]I created Au912 Mystical Council Consulate to facilitate communication while direct communication was impossible due to the anti-embassy raid on Libertarian, not to take part in The Mystical Council's internal affairs. Since that was the only purpose for the Au912 Mystical Council Consulate to exist, I had planned to just leave it here until it CTEs.[/spoiler][spoiler=My intentions for Libertarian]My former primary nation Alternate Universe 912 is no longer serving as executive, and I don't plan to take the delegacy back unless I'm asked to. If Whipjangle isn't interested in rejoining us, we'll have to decide on an alternate strategy (I expect we'd do a re-found).[/spoiler][spoiler=I'm also currently]I'm also currently deciding what to do with Libertarian Capitalist Zone 716 and my fantasy / horror / parody nations currently stored in Au912 Zombie Survival Bunker.[/spoiler]
Oakplumington
Indeed I do and I have Ejected naions once before
Ok so I am trying to recruit people to come to the Mystical Council and we need a spot filled for the Empty Seat and we are in danger of losing [nation=short]Firstguy1[/nation] again. So I am working hard to recruit people in the region to get those seats filled.
Yeah, New Bacon, it's one of those things. The ebb and flow of activity and population. To this day, I remain absolutely astounded that this region became as active as it has. And the credit all goes to everyone here. This region was dead for months and I never thought it would go anywhere. So even if we can't fill all of the council seats yet, what we got is still pretty good.
New Bacon, Monotheistic Deities
I am wide awake. Just one of those nights. Anyone else awake?
I'm going through my own NationStates evolution. Less defending, more role play, but now I'm spending more time here. It's kind of a weird phase because I'm not even all that active at the moment. I used to be a little bit active everywhere, now I'm just focusing that activity here. I'm even having second thoughts about the Interregional Council idea. It just feels like change is in the air. And actually the season is changing. There is just something about fall that induces change in our lives.
Monotheistic Deities
I updated the Interregional Council list. I'll start working on the invitations "soon".
New Bacon
oooooh you missed The Greater Holy Isles though. I'd suggest adding our IRC Rep ([nation=short]Transfan200[/nation]) to the list, but it sounds like we're gonna be assimilating back into the Isles of Holy Order of the Holy Potato in the coming weeks. It's mostly due to the fact that both of our regions have been suffering from the split; it looked like it was going well at first, but as time went on a lot of our friends CTE'd because they lost interest. That likely means the IHOHP will have a new ICR Rep along with the new constitution, and everything else that's happening in that regard.
[spoiler=Here's a brief synopsis of what's happened IC in The Greater Holy Isles cause I'm bored:] The death* of [nation=short+noflag]Pyrosky[/nation]'s tyrannical president Sadou Tawanomachi in a bombing after an overthrow of the existing government allowed for up-and-coming Social Democrat Makoto Aiko to step in and claim the presidency. Aiko, hailed as the savior of a lost people, was able to claim the presidency by popular support and the common desired of a man who existed as an outsider to the previous government. The capital state of Pyrosky, Pyrus, was declared Terra Nullis, and carpet-bombed straight to hell, and a new capital was designated hundreds of miles south in the commercial paradise, Columbia. Chomsky, [nation=short+noflag]New Pyrosky[/nation]'s president, and my revolutionary diplomat, Makoto Aiko, have been (slowly) orchestrating talks over the last few weeks to figure out what exactly needs to happen for the nations who once co-existed under the name of the Isles of Holy Order to be able to once again live peacefully among each other.
*He may or may not actually be dead, I have yet to decide. If he's not, I've got a much more gruesome death planned than being taken out by a mere bombing run.[/spoiler]
I dunno, I'm just kinda tired and hazy and really should be sleeping, but am still stuck half awake because I was at a friend's two-month late birthday party up until about an hour ago.
