Region: The Mystical Council

History

But the good news is that Oakplumingtons respectively get a discounted tax as well as Nations serving on Lunar Council. As far as civilians they are only taxed by sales taxes with the goods they buy. Income taxes to return like always in New Bacon without filing--a check comes in the mail. Although there are different taxes like I said and that is not the only one. The individual 51 states have their own tax rates that i do not control. I just control the Federal sector of taxes and that is in my constitution. I do not have the power to charge property tax but in Washington D.C. I can only levy sales tax and progressive business income tax. I don't have the power to charge the people. But the business yes. That's why the business property tax rate is so high in Washington DC so that The New Bacon Federal Government can run its programs. THATS WHY THEY ARE CALLED BLOOPERS THEY'RE JOKES THE PEOPLE DON'T GET TAXED JUST THE BUSINESSES. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Malcholm is really worse than me as far as taxes with a 70.2% tax rate

Malcholm

Luremurgians are not welcome in New Bacon though. They have a constitutional ban. After what happened in the UTNA with luremurg.

We need to talk about the trade agreement which could possibly eliminate the taxes in my country. Remember what the FAQ says in nationstates your nation can be whatever it desires-- not by your classification. Sometimes the classification may not be right. ;)

Especially the tax classification because it may not be what one wants

I actually have to calculate the real average along with the states to see the real national tax average which will take me a while to do hahaha.

Geese I'm flooding the RMB tonight I think I'll talk later

That's ok! Keep going. I'm always flooding the RMB. I'm glad someone else is doing it for once. Haha!

It was a crazy news day. ChingisLan had brought back WA status to The Mystical Council and the press was in a frenzy. News reporters surrounded the ChingisLan capitol, "Does your government intend to make another bid for the Delegacy? Will you continue developing trade? Does your government intend to take the region in a new direction? If successful, what will an eleventh delegacy under ChingisLan look like?"

The Oakplumington stock market soars as natural gas reserves were discovered in the north west.

Malcholm

Hallo how do you do in this Mystical Council Thing?

New Bacon, Malcholm, Oakplumington

By tonight I will post who voted to strip communications from ChingisLan and Jegerkompaniet.

Welcome Vaspassia!!!! Also ChingisLan your endorsement will be revoked until December 25th which is the next full moon.

Vaspassia wrote:Hallo how do you do in this Mystical Council Thing?

Someone approached a Vaspassian leader from the shadows, "Hey, I need help. The Oakplumington government has sent goblins searching for me. They'll tear me apart!" He stepped out of the shadows to reveal his face. It was a large human-sized rabbit. It was none other than Plum Oakton himself. He drew his hood closer to his face. "Please, I need you to provide me with a safe haven. I may become rabbit stew before long." He looked around suspiciously. "Can I trust you not to turn me over to the authorities?"

Frogcha walked in with a new posture. "Hello, welcome to the Lunar Council. So you're taking over for Nikolas Sica?"

He sat down.

"There is something you should know about me. I intend to deal with the anarchy in Oakplumington and turn it into a proper country. But first we need to have an agreement. That rabbit must be found! I'm hoping that Malcholm will see the benefit of an organized Oakplumington. Maybe your country can keep a look out for him. So, anyway, how is the office? Is everything comfortable - up to par? Is there anything that you will need, Ambassador, to make your stay more pleasant?"

"This Thanksgiving, I would like to pardon a turkey. This Thanksgiving, I would like to have rabbit."

OOC - I think the constitution is almost done. Check it out everyone and let me know what you think. I designed it around the mechanics of the game. Now is the time for feedback, criticism, comments, questions, or concerns. June will be here before we know it. Any observations from misspellings and punctuation mistakes to reforming whole bodies of government will be appreciated. I can't promise that I'll adopt every suggestion but I will at least think about them.

June 2016 after Lunar Council elections will be our first ratification attempt. If the Constitution fails to get adopted we will try again after two or three months with some revisions. We will continue the process until we have a system of regional government that we are more or less happy with.

Happy Thanksgiving, Aquatur! How is everything over in the North American Federation? What's new?

Tag check everyone. Are there any tags that you would like to see added to the region? And/or are there any tags that you would like to see removed from the region?

Remember, the Delegate and Lunar Council represent you. They are equipped with the power to alter tags. Feel free to write to your representatives so that they can do a better job representing you here in this region.

One of our embassy regions was featured, today! Check out The Forest. They also did really well during the Zombie apocalypse. :)

I just redesigned my information center. Instead of throwing a pile of links at you I decided to make an attempt to organize it better. Things that are somewhat related have been associated together.

Malcholm, Au912 Mystical Council Consulate

If anyone is interested in forming a transition government in The Interfaith Federation Of Theocracies, let me know. My intention is to let The Prayer Room cease to exist over the next few months. The natives and original founder have not returned for months so I believe the defense of that region is officially over and now is the time to create a new government with new natives over there. Any interest? Let me know. If you know anyone who would be interested in such an endeavor let me know or post something here on the RMB.

We have two embassy invitations: The Utopian Freesocialists and Darkstar. Thoughts?

Oakplumington wrote:We have two embassy invitations: The Utopian Freesocialists and Darkstar. Thoughts?

Our total embassy count has just recently hit 45, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it may be time to consider a slightly more conservative approach to our foreign policy, in that we should only accept embassies from select regions so as to not create an unmanageable Interregional Council.

Then, the real question would be the parameters for which regions are allowed to construct embassies with us. I feel that we should make membership in the Interregional Council mandatory for new regions who wish to construct embassies with us. Old embassy regions should be exempt from this. Such action benefits us in that we have more members for the council, and there's no real downside to regions who join the council other than minute time consumption.

"Ah-well-... Thank you." The ambassador was gently startled by Frogcha's appearance, despite being told what to expect. "I'd be lying if I told you I were the legitimate replacement for the great Nikolas Sica. I'm nowhere near comparable to him. However, I am the man designated to represent my homeland to this fair council." The ambassador shuffled though a few papers on the desk. "From what I recall reading earlier today, Oakpluington has been taking enormous leaps and bound to achieve the pure and unadulterated anarchy it is today; and you, a man of great importance to your nation, wish to completely up-heave the current state of utter discord?"

He thought on it for a moment.

"Of course, this is not a decision I alone can make. I'll have to report the idea back to our President, who will then take it up with the Congress. Catching one man-or rabbit-is a simple task. Reigning in an entire country from it's inherent anarchic mentality is something else entirely." The ambassador pondered the concept for a moment. "Surely, President Wilkowski will have no problem with aiding your man--er, rabbit..hunt. In my eyes, an organised, unified Oakplumington is all any of us could ask for."

Reaching this conclusion, he began typing up an email to a secretary of the Wilkowski Administration.

"Also, the office is fantastic; much better than the on I got stuck in while our country inhabited Pyroskian lands. It already provides more than I could ask for; and some. However..." he trailed, thinking of one thing in particular. "Ah! Haitian coffee. I've noticed only international-renowned name brands in my numerous trips to the coffee machine. I know it's an odd request, but do you think that the offices could special order some REBO coffee grounds?"

This is perfect. I was just thinking of getting rid of the Interregional Council the other day. But this might be a way to save it. We could require that embassies share at lease 3-5 tags in common with us. OR we could require any NEW embassies to join the interregional council. The old ones can be grandfathered in and wouldn't have to participate. OR we could just set a regional embassy limit say 60 or 75 or something like that.

Here is the disadvantage though, with fewer or limited embassies we will be more isolated and fewer nations will know about our existence.

Another option would be to disband the Interregional Council and make our third branch of government the resident nations who are not already involved in the government. Then we wouldn't have to worry about how many embassies we have.

Honestly, I don't foresee the Interregional Council playing a big part in our government. They are so spread out throughout different regions. It might be better to keep our government here. The Unified Regional Network already seems to be filling that role of bringing regions together, anyway.

IC

Frogcha came out of the Oakplumington capitol to say a word or two about this.

"This is something we should talk about over the next few days. New Bacon's motto is "Stay Strong". If our own Interregional Council is our weakest link then we need to either reform it or abolish it! The constitution is outside our doorstep. Will it work for us or will [I]we[/I] work for it?"

Monotheistic Deities, Malcholm

Two more links can now be found at the Founder's Information Center:

1. For those interested in military-style game play or military history I included a link to the military factory. This website gives specifications on real world weapons systems used by countries throughout the world throughout history.

2. And if you're going through some stuff and you don't want the fuss of seeing a professional, there is a peer support group right here on Nation States. Look up the dispatch "{HC} The Help Center". If you want to be the one others lean on for support you can become a counselor yourself. Either way, you will want to get in touch with Malvacka.

Malcholm

New poll. Actually, this is more of a discussion than a poll. Malcholm raised a good point the other day. Things are starting to get unmanageable. There are a ton of embassy regions who I haven't even invited yet because we've been getting so many embassies lately. Personally, I don't want to limit the embassies because it gets our region's name out there. But also, I don't want to have to manage an unmanageable Interregional Council. So I'm going to vote for the second option. But even if we decide to keep the Interregional Council there might be a way to manage it better. There are several ideas I posted on the RMB already. I will contact our current members of the Interregional Council so they have a chance to vote in the poll and participate in this discussion. I'm ready to scrap the idea personally. But if the Interregional Council concept still has a lot of support then we can still find a way to save it.

Malcholm

Oakplumington wrote:Yikes! Hope the pain is under control.

I've gotten lucky thus far; the pain is still there, but it's dulled down pretty well.

On the subject of the Interregional Council: I don't like to discredit it entirely, but it's not really doing much; it hasn't really gotten the opportunity to. I'd be more for Frogcha's reform concept. I wouldn't mind the Interregional Council becoming the Regional Council, but our numbers for that are a bit slim even with the new arrivals. I'd think that the best option would be to have no restrictions on the number of embassies we can have, but have restrictions as to which of those embassies can be in the council and limit the council itself to say..30 regions? The easiest way to get that number would be to do something simple like the tag count you mentioned, but then there's the issue of regions who just add any tag they please because they can.

The main problem I have with the Interregional Council concept is that it will always function as a passive/reactive body of government. I don't really foresee the members organizing amongst themselves to pass legislation. Can a government that doesn't function really represent the nations here? Can nations in other regions really represent the nations here in this region? With the new plan, every nation not in the regional government will still have a government voice. Vaspassia, myself, and any other nations who join The Mystical Council will have more of a voice this way. It will also be a more effective way to override the Delegate's veto. If the Interregional Council was asked to stand with the Lunar Council to vote on something in order to override a veto made by New Bacon, the members would have to take time to familiarize themselves with the issue. And I'm sure many nations would not go out of their way to do that. We see this happen all the time in the World Assembly.

I like your idea though. If we end up keeping the Interregional Council, then I would love to limit it to something like 30 participating regions or maybe even fewer than that.

Malcholm

This is where my head is at http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=497274

We could call it the General Council or the Regional Council or something else....

The Mystical Assembly...

Oakplumington wrote:..the members would have to take time to familiarize themselves with the issue.

That's where I'm stuck. There's no effective way of doing that, and no way to get them to care; even if they did take the time to get to know what's going on. In the long term, if we're talking about representing the people of the region, the [Regional Council] would definitely be the way to go.

Court of the Mystics?

The House of Mystics?

The Mystic Diet?

I was looking for names, and came across Isle of Man's Tynwald. Maybe we can make our own name for it?

Oakplumington

Yeah, We should make up our own name. The Members of Sentagon. Sort of a cross between Senate and Pentagon.

Malcholm

Maybe we should RP some sort of uprising that tears the Interregional Council building apart brick by brick. The land was renamed Sentagon after a fearless revolutionary who gave his life for truly representative government.

It would be easy... Our region hasn't passed any laws as of yet creating a regional military.

I'm going to lay some ground work.

IC

Once upon a time there was an Oakplumington named Arnold Sentagon. He was very dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to reform the regional government. He formed a political party called the Anti-Interregional Party. The Party was solely based off of the idea that the Interregional Council did not truly represent the nations of The Mystical Council. Eventually, the Oakplumington government officially signed onto it, creating The Mystical Council's very first political party. The Anti-Interregional Party was not composed of isolationists as one might expect but was filled with revolutionary justice and a thirst for more regional representation here at home. Sentagon was murdered by the opposition of the Anti-Interregional Party (the anti-Anti-Interregional Party). The political party's leaders funded the creation of a building which was to be named Sentagon in his honor and nominated Vaspassia as its first President. The lobby for Vaspassia's support of the Anti-Interregional Party was very strong in Oakplumington.

In a speech, the new leader of the movement said, "Our region needs real representation. Unity of nations outside the current regional government is key to our success. Oakplumington has proposed nominating the nation of Vaspassia for President of Sentagon. May Sentagon represent all of our nations well in the region's government!"

In recent days, construction around the building commenced creating a town around Sentagon and thus the city of Sentagon was born.

OOC - On the New Bacon map, Sentagon is located just north of Mongolia in southern Russia. It is an Independent City State which, if recognized, would function with the Regional Capitol. Basically, we would have "two" regional capitols - two separate places functioning as one capitol. In theory.... If passed...

A mural outside the city of Sentagon:

"Sentagon

What, who, and where is Sentagon?

Sentagon the revolutionary who died for all nations?

He's no longer here for no longer does he live.

Sentagon the building within which nations meet and debate legislation? Will it happen?

How long will this building stand?

Sentagon the city which rose up around the building - the person?

What or who is Sentagon? How do we get to Sentagon?

Sentagon is not just a person.

Sentagon is not just a building.

Sentagon is not just a city.

Sentagon is every citizen of every nation in this region.

We are Sentagon. Everyone of us.

Now is the time to stand up and take our place.

Now is the time for Sentagon."

Some graffiti was spray-painted below the mural. It said: "Register Anti-Interregional ********"

Frogcha finally decided to join the band wagon in order to build support for his own political future in Oakplumington.

"Sentagon will not be silent. Even if it remains unrecognized by the current regional government we shall continue to meet and hold conferences and committees and discussions. We must start by persuading the Interregional Council to vote for the second option. Under the constitution, we need a simple majority approval by the Interregional Council in addition to at least three Lunar Council votes with Delegate approval. This will be a hard battle. I recommend that this new political party rename itself the Sentagon Party. It sounds so much better to be for something than against something. Sentagon should be the decision maker on this, however. Sentagon is a collection of two nations: Oakplumington and Vaspassia. As our region grows in population, so shall Sentagon. And it will grow into an alliance. And then, into a functioning body of government."

There was applause for the Secretary of State who would most likely win the next election in Oakplumington. Plum Oakton remained on the loose and agents were still scouring the country side looking for him.

Ok what the hec is this president of the sentagon thing?

Oakplumington

Vaspassia wrote:Ok what the hec is this president of the sentagon thing?

I'm not exactly sure if it's legit yet (votes continue to trickle in).... but every nation not involved in the Delegacy or Lunar Council will be automatically part of Sentagon. Sentagon is the product of a political movement supported by the Anti-Interregional Party (created by Oakplumington) in the hopes of abolishing the Interregional Council. You have been nominated to lead this body of government (if it becomes a body of government). As of right now, it is simply an alliance of nations who feel the same way. So what do you think? Would you like to join the AIP (Anti-Interregional Party)? Would you like to accept the nomination?

Abolishing the Interregional Council as a constitutional amendment:

Delegate: No vote (approval required for passage)

Lunar Council: 2/5 votes (4 votes required for passage)

All Residents: 4/8 votes (6/8 required for passage)

Interregional Council Members: 1/10 votes (6/10 required for passage)

Under the rules of the constitution....

However....

The constitution hasn't been adopted yet...he he

Let me hear somebody say "LOOPHOLE!"

Vaspassia wrote:Ok what the hec is this president of the sentagon thing?

In not so many words.

Basically I'm going to use the analogy the Lunar Council is like the Senate and Sentagon could be like the House of Representatives.

On behalf of The Interfaith Federation Of Theocracies I have voted as a member of the Interregional Council. This should not be construed as a puppet vote.

As Au912 Mystical Council Consulate, I am a resident and member of the Lunar Council; as Alternate Universe 716, I am a member of the Interregional Council. Should I vote as both?

Yep. I'll also be voting as Disboard's The God Of Play.

I see [nation=short]Wuqumof[/nation] is having fun in Bacon's seat.

So, Wuqumof, how is it?

Hey Lunar Council, the whole 'Cimmerian' thing seems to be getting more and more persistent. Should we do something about it?

Hey [nation=short]Wuqumof[/nation] you spelled Octubus' name wrong. Could you at least fix it before you leave?

Well, well, well. Just look at the history taking place here today. Actually, I never thought about this before, but The Mystical Council could theoretically turn into a raider-type region if enough nations are for it and get elected into the government.

*Gets a stern look.*

As long as we follow the constitution, that is.

Malcholm

I'm gonna document all this before fixing anything. You know how particular I am about regional history. ;)

This was a destructive one for sure. Lots of unconstitutional stuff taking place.

Just a standard tag raid?

The Eleventh Delegate of The Mystical Council

11. Wuqumof: 12/2/2015 - 12/2/2015

Nugut, Cimmeria

During one of the most destructive attacks The Mystical Council has ever seen, Wuqumof was only in power for twenty minutes. This was definitely a highly professional military attack. Wuqumof military leadership was supported by Octopusx and We Are Not The Dla. Cimmeria was once more given credit for the attack perpetuated by members of Nugut.

The following unconstitutional actions were taken by Wuqumof:

1. Embassy posting was disabled.

2. Every embassy ordered to close without the approval of the regional government.

3. Buddhism, The Utopian Freesocialists, and Darkstar were rejected without the approval of the regional government.

4. Another nation's poll was cancelled without the approval of the regional government.

5. All five members of the Lunar Council were illegally stripped of their authority.

6. About one or two RMB pages worth of posts were suppressed without reason.

As a result, Malcholm, President of the Lunar Council, asked the Lunar Council if something should be done about raids.

Also noteworthy, under Wuqumof, a new flag and world factbook entry were established. Tags were altered and dispatches were removed. Wuqumof left the region in shambles departing back to Nugut.

Oakplumington noted for posterity after the past two raids that having an extra security puppet with border control was a frivolous exercise with an executive Delegate. As a result, Oakplumington planned to remove parts of the constitution referring to the appointing of security puppets. An important distinction is that security puppets are useful only as influence hogs in the region but are completely ineffective as appointed officers.

----------------------------------

No Delegate: 12/2/2015 - 12/3/2015

With no current Delegate, The Mystical Council waited for some worthy WA nation to step up to the plate. Leading in endorsements was New Bacon who had also served as the region's eighth and tenth Delegate. New Bacon seemed to be the only viable option as no other nations held World Assembly status.

This is another reason why we should get rid of the Interregional Council. Although puppet voting is not right, this is a situation where "puppet voting" - if you want to call it that - is actually legal. This could potentially cause confusion somewhere down the line. But yes, to answer your question every country who sits on the Interregional Council should vote in the poll...which I will put back up since the 11th Delegate and company removed it.

Even if you sit on the Lunar Council AND have another country on the Interregional Council, you should still cast a vote from both places. Feel free to ask for more clarification, I know this is probably very confusing.

Malcholm

I'll be back in a little while to fix some more things. Lunar Councillors feel free to help me unsuppress posts and cancel embassy closures.

This is what I have so far: New Pyrosky is for keeping the Interregional Council.

The following are for Delegacy-Lunar Council-Other Residential Nations for our three branches of government:

Oh yeah, this is going to be a battle.

Welcome to the region Octopusx! Stay as long as you like. I have to warn you, though. You may have to stand before the Lunar Council for what you've done...if they pursue charges. Actually, we have a few raiders on the Lunar Council so the Council may be lenient with your case. Who knows what could happen though. If Sentagon is officially recognized as the third branch of government they may legislate something. Everything is pretty fluid here. You never know what could happen in The Mystical Council!

Post by Oakplumington suppressed by Domos Pinca.

Oakplumington

No DLA, first off you're not even in this region. Secondly, you're not on the Interregional Council. Your vote is being discarded unless you get back here and face the music like a responsible raider!

Malcholm

Oh my gosh I'm now the 8,10, and 12? Delegate of the Council?

Malcholm, Oakplumington

Hey wait! I just realized something. I'm officially the Acting Delegate now since there is no delegate. Hehehe. I haven't been in that position for a long time.

New Bacon, Malcholm

I guess that means I'm number 13. Uggh

Well I guess I'm prepared for my office being overthrown twice. :)

Can somebody post my factbook back on the WFE that says mystical council map. It has been updated.

New Bacon wrote:Oh my gosh I'm now the 8,10, and 12? Delegate of the Council?

Yep, we were raided again. I'm going to be making a few adjustments to the constitution. The title Vice Delegate doesn't really make sense since the Founder automatically becomes the Acting Delegate during the absence of a Delegate.

New Bacon wrote:I guess that means I'm number 13. Uggh

Actually, you'll still be the 12th. Unless some other WA nation decides to run for the office...

New Bacon, you look like you're creating an even-numbered dynasty!

Vedan, Transfan200, and Friese are on the brink of ceasing to exist. If these nations cease to exist we will only require 4 votes from the Interregional Council to abolish the Interregional Council.

Sounds good.

I am recognizing that. :)

Hope you guys are okay, hopefully the NAF can get around to establishing a military soon so we can help should, God forbid, Oakplumington CTE. :)

A military would make things even more interesting over here. I'm hoping we get a good mix of RPers, Defenders, and Raiders to keep things alive.

I know I shouldn't say never, but I don't plan on ceasing to exist anytime soon.

Frogcha wins the Oakplumington elections as supreme leader. "The first thing I will do is create an actual functioning government."

Malcholm

"As Acting Delegate, I would like to propose abolishing the Interregional Council. Can I count on the Lunar Council to back me? I already have two votes."

Frogcha sent out official letters to Chingislan, Jegerkompaniet, and Trf Submarine Group V asking for support.

The letter said...

"LISTEN UP!!! WHEN NEW BACON RECLAIMS THE DELEGACY I WANT THE LUNAR COUNCIL TO HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON TAHARQA'S DESK READY TO BE APPROVED BY HIM. IT IS TIME FOR SENTAGON!!!"

Malcholm

Frogcha has also stated that "If Vaspassia were to run for a seat on the Lunar Council {this Christmas}, you can be sure of one thing, Vaspassia would have the support of the great nation of Oakplumington. There is not one doubt in my mind that the nation of Malcholm will retain its seat. This can only mean one thing. If some nation - any nation - runs for the second Lunar Council seat, it will be a landslide defeat for the Submarine Group."

This is not the first time that Oakplumington has gone after the Submarine Group.

New Bacon wrote:Well I guess I'm prepared for my office being overthrown twice. :)

TWICE? AND you're the 8th, 10th and 12th delegate what is the purpose of that?? I see that you all were raided

Also Oakplumington ill be willing to take the sentagon seat. I accept!! [nation=short+noflag]New Bacon[/nation] I hope you got my telegram about claiming Mexico on your map. Is it updated yet?

New Bacon, Oakplumington

I feel like something should be done with the raids that are going on. Maybe you all should consider three things, ban every nation in all raider regions, or just ban the nations that caused the damage or another option would be is to password-protect the region so that way New Bacon's Seat won't get overthrown anymore. It takes our region as a whole to do something. Bacon won't be watching the region all the time. Now of course everyone has things he or she have to do in life even I have things that I have to do. So I would encourage you all to vote on either banning the nations or password-protect the region. I mean the only feasible option would be to password-protect the region so that way Bacon's or whatever his name is seat will not be overthrown. Like I said the raiders are going to continue to overthrow Bacon's seat if nothing is done.

I also checked out that Bacon has the best exchange rate for the region NICE MAN!!!!

Lunar Council President Malcholm has said something similar earlier today. I am opposed to the idea. I love the unpredictability of this region. However, I will submit to the authority of the regional government. This is not just my home it's also yours too.

All you need to do is have someone write up some law that brings the hammer down on this raiding business. Two branches of government have to approve. As we all have noticed, the Interregional Council is almost completely not working. So that leaves the Delegacy and the Lunar Council. I'm sure New Bacon deep down inside probably wants to put a stop this raiding nonsense, too. But I can't speak for New Bacon. Malcholm has so much as said the same earlier today. I don't know how AU912 will vote but Jegerkompaniet and ChingisLan are both raiders and Submarine Group is inactive. I'm not sure how you're going to get three votes out of the Lunar Council in support of such legislation. Now there are several ways you can approach this.

1. Get more WA nations to come here and endorse New Bacon or the Delegacy of choice.

2. You run for the second seat of the Lunar Council. If you win on Christmas Day you will replace Submarine Group and bring another voting member to the council. Then you can team up with Malcholm and pass a no raiding nonsense law or whatever it'll be called.

3. If we do manage to establish Sentagon as a third branch of government, you as the President of Sentagon will be able to present the nations with a law and potentially could bypass the Lunar Council and send something directly to New Bacon for approval.

4. You could also attempt to form some sort of a treaty with Nugut and Cimmeria.

5. We could also recognize and accept this instability as an integral part of The Mystical Council and its regional culture.

6. As you suggested you could pass some sort of password legislation.

7. Any combination of the above.

Those are your options constitutionally speaking-potentially speaking.

But...I'm going to oppose you the entire way. I like things messy. I think things are more interesting now with raiding happening often. I'm totally into this. I'm definitely number 5. It forces one to really work hard to keep their place in government and especially in the Delegacy. And I believe that is the true spirit of the Nation States game. I have to respectfully stand with the raiders on this one. This is about freedom...from what? I'm not exactly sure. But somehow it's about freedom.

Malcholm

I went hunting for ChingisLan and Jegerkompaniet. They should be here in the future soonish maybe.
