Region: The Mystical Council

History

Post by Langor Empire suppressed by a moderator.

If anyone is curious, the constitutional draft is located in Oakplumington's factbooks. I added two things to the Interregional Council section of the constitution today. I'm just going to keep adding things to it as I think of them. Feel free to post suggestions on the RMB. I plan on having some sort of ratification event sometime between October and Christmas. The constitution should be done by then.

From now until October we'll test drive the current draft to see if it is road worthy and work out any issues that come up.

This is the latest from the Interregional Council section

Restrictions of the Interregional Council:

1. The Interregional Council may not use its power to encroach upon the autonomy of the region or its resident nations and citizens. [This isn't very specific but I think it could make for a great IC court case.]

Powers of the Interregional Council:

1. There shall be an Interregional Council such that every region with an embassy building with The Mystical Council will hold at least one seat. These representatives shall be elected or appointed from within their respective regions. Nations representing their region on the Interregional Council will not be required to relocate. Nations serving on the Interregional Council will be sent a telegram in the event of a vote on legislation. Regions with embassy buildings also have the option of opting out of participation at any time.

2. The Interregional Council may summon itself to pass legislation of an interregional or international nature. To become law, the legislation must also be passed by either the Regional Council or the Executive.

There will be another embassy poll after this one for Religion States. It looks like the founder is just starting a region. I think we should help them out.

News -

Libertarian has been raided. The native delegate Alternate Universe 912 only has one endorsement while the invading delegate has eight. All nations interested in defending are encouraged to participate in either the OATO mission in the WFE or to assist in the defense of Libertarian. Unfortunately my WA nation is tied up in UTNA right now.

Um no, it hasn't been.

The native Delegate has decided to found his own region, those who wish too leave and join him are being allowed to freely do so

We have an agreement with him, and he and his supporters are leaving the region.

This is not entirely true. Cedoria seems to have misinterpreted what I agreed to. Our region WAS raided by Cedoria and friends, and they suppressed message board posts by non-socialist nations. I therefore created a new region to permit nations that wanted to use the message board to post there. I agreed I would not use the new region to launch raids or defenses.

Yes, hence, there is no longer any purpose for attempting to take it back, since you have a new region now.

I have a perfect understanding of what you agreed too. That's why I informed the good people here before they got some big misguided notion about trying to take the place back.

I don't speak for everyone here, but I don't think it's misguided to fight for freedom. This is about freedom! FREEDOM! And freedom is worth fighting for.

*Waves 'Don't Tread On Me' Flag for good measure*

You authoritarians can't take over Libertarian. It just isn't right. It isn't mathematically sound. It's kind of like chickens working for crickets. The crickets are supposed to work for the chickens in their stomachs. Likewise, libertarians are supposed to be free. A socialist takeover of a libertarian region is just sick, twisted, and contrary to all that makes sense. President Plum Oakton of Oakplumington and Executive of The Mystical Council will never allow this to pass.

Heavy sanctions and tariffs are being placed on all Cedorian goods as well as any allies. Plum Oakton has said in a speech earlier today, "Today one of our embassy regions has been attacked by authoritarian cowards. I will do what I can to bring justice to those responsible."

Northern Forestavia has declared war on the invader Cedoria. This announcement comes shortly after being banished from the region by Cedoria.

Boo-Hoo. It obviously IS mathematically sound, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to take over the region.

As for he won't allow it too pass, there's not really much you can do too stop it. And there wouldn't be much point, given the natives are leaving to found their own region anyway.

Your sanctions and threats are of little use, anybody who tries to enter the protectorate of Libertarian will be banjected immediately.

As for taking over a libertarian region well, it's not really libertarian anymore.

But maybe I could just visit sometime. You know, just to reminisce about "the good old days". My nation will promise to abide by the laws and fill out visa paperwork. I promise not to pass out libertarian pamphlets to the school children. My government has decided not to go to war with you yet. We would like to apply for a temporary visa.

Nobody outside can visit until the DSU Military Authority in Libertarian agrees to it. Right now, we have locked the borders too outside forces. We are still allowing free movement out of the region.

No visits until the Military Authority says so, that's the final word.

Further attempts to penetrate libertarian won't go down well. I've already suppressed your first two very quickly. No point in trying.

Focus your efforts on bigger fish, we're not that important. And we've been far less brutal than most.

One day, your government leadership will be toppled by the desires of a free people. A great wind will sweep through the land. The wind of freedom. They will lower taxes and shrink the government and many a socialist policy will be repealed. This is how it will happen in the Days of Justice when karma comes knocking...

If you are our only opponents then no we won't be toppled. DSU is a democracy, this is not a matter of authoritarianism or even communism. The takedown of Libertarian was done by necessity with ideological reasoning being second. Taxes don't exist in the raiding game and karma isn't real. Of you have any further questions about the attack telegram Atealia and I will deal with. Otherwise I think we are done here.

Tell me about the necessity part. Why was the invasion of a free and prosperous region "[I]necessary[/I]"?

free? Arguable, Prosperous? You have to be braindamaged to believe that region was prosperous. We are working to grow our army and an attack on a medium sized but quite weak region helps improve morale. This drives recruitment and Libertarian natives get a region that actually has a founder. Its a win-win.

I understand the morale and recruitment motives. And it is true that they have a region with a founder now.

But Libertarian was prosperous. There was always a debate going on in that region. And if you had a topic you wanted to debate or bring to the table, there was always someone there to respond. And usually the responses were pretty good too. Logical, well-thought-out, etc.

you don't know what a prosperous region. A region of 50 people totally disorganised and speaking rather infrequently is not prosperous. Prosperous would be something like Libertatem or DSU. Hell the Anti Authoritarian Alliance is smaller and could easily be considered prosperous with it's constant activity.

And that can still continue, in the new region. They can continue it, and we are doing nothing to stop it.

There's nothing about this, except for our own publicity and secondary ideological issues. Stop dramatising everything.

That's a good point. I guess everything is relative. Compared to The Mystical Council, Libertarian was prosperous. I needed a qualifier in there somewhere.

Have you considered the prosperous implications of capitalism? I think that Libertarian was economically prosperous just based on the capitalism thing. The Mystical Council did a lot of trade with their nations. We imported all kinds of things. Especially knicknaks, helicopters, cloth, and tea kettles.

They consisted of an anarchy of failed states choked with poverty and corruption. And frankly, your trade is irrelevant to us, this is a practical exercise.

I was speaking from a gameplay perspective. I'm not one for role play and statistics in NS but if you look at it that way I understand what you mean. Although it's not hard for socialist nations in NS to have strong economies and in real life Many socialist nations had rather productive industrial centres. I'm not one for arguing the benefits of capitalism or socialism in a game though.

It's alright Cedoria I'll handle this, no need to rile them up we are settling down here alright? They are not our enemies if we don't make them our enemies. All regions deserve proper diplomacy not matter how large or small and regardless of ideology.

DSU is fundamentally anti-capitalist. And since you're into the role-play thing - capitalism is immoral, oppressive and nothing more than exploitation. We freed the workers of Libertarian.

I'm slowing down. I think I'm running out of material for comebacks. ;)

Actually, capitalism is the ingenious system where two parties benefit. One offers a service or product while making money at it and the consumer pays for the product or service. Both parties walk away happy. Here in Northern Forestavia, we have laws in place to prevent companies from taking unfair advantage of either consumers or workers. Sometimes the pace of technology makes it difficult for my government's legal system to keep up with the times. But, you know, we do the best we can.

Tireseos Representative wrote:True, nothing personal, it's purely ideological.

I mean it's more practical than anything else. We needed this for the army. I don't consider ideology relevant to this attack other than favourability over non capitalist region. If we found a fascist region of the same size and as vulnerable I'm sire we would have gone after it instead.

this may be the case in your nation but in real life Capitalism does hurt workers quite heavily. Capitalism is an inherently unfair system though obviously not as bad as feudalism, unlike other socialists I do believe that's it's possible to work hard and do better in a capitalist society but it's description of an equal start for everyone is limited to the removal of noble positions in society. I wouldn't call that overly equal.

I still disagree with the invasion of Libertarian. But I'm glad I understand your region's motivations better. This was a good discussion, I feel.

Yeah I agree with that. I was only talking about our conversation here, I don't have any personal hatred towards capitalists, only their way of thinking.

Ah I see. I'm pretty mellow when It comes to ideology, i am firmly socialist and i dislike capitalism as a system but i don't really mind them.

Not a whole lot of people are in favour of war especially against their allies so I understand.

My apologies.

Atealia is correct, we don't expect you to like our attack, we wouldn't have if it were you. But at least you understand our reasoning.

We don't want to fight you, so you just leave us alone in libertarian and DSU, and we'll leave you alone as well.

Good day.

More News -

This report is about the death of the only raiding region that I've ever found worthy to raid for. My first contact with Horde Of Ball occurred when I was defending for Zen awhile back. After they banned several of my puppets, the governments of our nations somehow hit it off and I was eventually invited to join. It was an honor to be a part of, even though I never actually had the opportunity to participate in any raids. I wrote the following on their RMB a few minutes ago:

"I agree. I have to say that this is the first time I'm sad to see a raiding region die. This place was very unique. I really enjoyed the incorporation of role play and the fervent dedication to the Ball religion as the guiding principles for the region. Many raiders simply raid just to raid without any culture, RP, or class to go with it. Horde of Ball was very unique. Perhaps Amatory Ball will return someday. Peace out."

Executive Press Conference:

Plum Oakton has stated that if the Mafia remains in control over Horde Of Ball, then he will send a proposal to the Regional Council within the next week or so to demolish embassies with Horde Of Ball. "I have been informed that Western Forestavia has relocated from Horde Of Ball, temporarily cutting ties." Plum Oakton assures the nations of the region that The Mystical Council will avoid involvement with the Mafia. "In the wake of the destruction of Libertarian and the slow death of Horde Of Ball, I hope that this serves as an opportune time to move The Mystical Council away from affiliation of raiding regions and their activities in the future."

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

The government of Western Forestavia has announced that its country will cease and desist in all raiding activity in the future.

"I want to come back." Then JV sprinkled cedar chips on a banana and ate it.

"I mean, think about it, our elections are based off of the cycles of the moon, and you know how people can get during a full moon. So that in and of itself should be enough evidence to prove that we have a large amount of [I]lunacy[/I] in this region.

He contemplated for a while. He hopped back to his desk and grabbed a handful of lettuce. "Probable, actually." He chewed the lettuce thoughtfully. "I'm open to suggestions."

He reached for some fresh spinach and kale also conveniently sitting on his desk.

"YES! Now we're talkin' results." Someone brought in the official results of the Regional Flag poll.

"Plum Oakton, we have had 1 vote against and 2 votes for not yet. This requires your signature to end the poll and make the results official."

"Ah yes." He took his front foot, dipped it in ink, and signed the bottom of the poll with his paw print. "There you go."

"Thank you, sir."

"I was thinking," turning back to the Vedanians, "that we should send them to a tiny island to the north of the southwestern coast. Territory 62, I think. Your job is to figure out how to keep Nodenpuff on that island. The thing about these Nodenpuffs is that they seem to be attracted to areas of the world where there is a huge amount of serious, sane stuff going on. So, to use reverse psychology, I propose we make Territory 62 the sanest most logical place that exists anywhere on earth. And then...Nodenpuff will go there like a rabbit to salad." Plum Oakton buried his face in the lettuce bowl.

"we could name it pantorrum theres nothing more serious than them" "yes but no matter how serious we make the island then they will just make it insaine and then infect the rest of the region there like some sort of insaine locust plague theres no stopping them!!!!!" *a swarm of locusts flys into the room and begins chastising the man accusing him of speciesism.*

"In that case, I say we embrace the cralala today, now, and foreeevers." He started chewing on his desk and threw his glasses out the window. "Maybe they'll turn into a bat."

speciesism - I only just saw that.

Speciesism is now illegal by order of Plum Oakton. "I understand about speciesism. I'm a rabbit after all. Oh look a carrot."

"With the power of the Star King and Lucerna on our side, may sanity be restored to our land!" The protesters sing.

"sanity eh? hmmmmmm" he looked over at Nodenpuff and began comtimplating he looked back at his followers "I will save you......mostly but as punishment for your lake of devotion I will not remove nodenpuff from this region nor shall I force sanity or humanity on those who do not wish it."

New temples were opened up as their faith was renewed in the power of divine things. "We will accept Nodenpuff as our neighbors."

Plum Oakton declared July 19th to be a regional holiday - Lucernism Day. A day to remember and honor the Gods. The proposal will be sent to the Council for approval.

OOC: There are a ton of suppressed posts still on here from the previous raids. I'm going to open them all up. Starting from the top. To Freedom! ;)

Monotheistic Deities, Nodenpuff

the star king smiled and cast a invisiable barrier around the region with a wave of his hand and acended back into thestars leaving a stone pillar with a set of rules behind

rule 1. the barrier will only prevent the Nodens madness from overrunning the rest of the region people can still go mad naturally.

rule 2. the barrier can be broken for a individual if he wnts it to be broken and asks for it to after that point it is only a matter of time before he succumbs to the insanity.

rule 3. those already renderd mad by nodenpuff must sincirley ask for there madness to be lifted if they wish to remain in there present state they can.

rule 4. Nodenpuff and other nations who choose to share in its madness are completely immune from the barrier this means those who find themselves on the wrong side of the border have no protection from insanity

rule 5. the barrier may be lifted from a nation without there concent should they choose to oppress my followers.

rule 6. should nodenpuff or another mad nation take control of another province the barrier can break and the land driven to madness.

I copy and pasted that under laws of the region since it is sort of like a treaty.

The people gave thanks and worship to all the Lucernist Gods. Lucernism experiences a revival. These activities would continue for weeks to come.

Jack walked into the room where Alice and JV were eating "this place is so boring boring BORING....or mabe its sun who knows really. anyways im going back to nodenpuff" "alright then ill go with you" she stood up and began walking away turning towards JV "are you comeing?"

church leaders from the eyes of vedan make a regional announcement calling for Lucernism to become the regions official religion.

"The great star king saved us from complete and utter madness we all owe our sanity to him it is only right that the region reconizes all that the gods have done for us with more than a mere vacation for government workers we should make our regions devotion to there worship loud and clear for all to hear."

"Yes. Don't forget about the roses! There will be fireworks in the lake tomorrow." JV got up. "Let's follow the buttered popcorn road to Nodenpuff."

"Now that is an excellent idea! I will propose it to the Council." Plum Oakton's office was now on the first floor and just outside was a meadow. Yes, he decided to remain a rabbit. Why? Well, maybe it's because he can jump like he never used to or maybe it was the distinct look he had when he went to political meetings. No one knows for sure. He went to the optometrist to get another pair of glasses.

Hello, I am contacting you on behalf of the Interregional Council that you have so politely mentioned. I'd like to take part in said Council, as I think it will be quite a prosperous advantage to international communications throughout regions across the world, and I'd very much like to become familiar with other regions. I would be the representative in this Council, and if there are any other rules or regulations I'm required to follow, don't hesitate to let me know. Cheers!

Hold up...

Is it really possible for a founder to get banned by raiders????? My region The Prayer Room has been taken from me by a raider. I didn't think an active founder could get banned.

So, here's the scoop so far. This is actually good for this region because I learned something, which means this region will be more secure.

*The only nation in The Prayer Room was the The Prayer Room.

*Additionally, I wasn't regularly answering issues for that nation and answering issues is an important way to build influence.

*The invader only needed enough influence to eject me (the only nation) right before the update this afternoon.

*Any delegate with executive powers [I]and[/I] enough influence can eject a founder.

*As per the constitution, the delegate here in The Mystical Council will continue to have executive powers. Naturally, this leaves this region open to a similar attack. Unless, that is, we follow the following guiding principles.

1. Oakplumington must never [I]ever[/I] leave this region.

2. Oakplumington must always answer issues.

3. I will bring a security puppet into the region to serve as an influence hog.

4. My security puppet must never [I]ever[/I] leave this region.

5. My security puppet must always answer issues.

6. The working constitution states:

"4. The Executive has the authority to alter the World Factbook Entry, add and remove regional dispatches, add and remove tags, [I]eject a nation from the region[/I], create polls, and organize elections."

When I serve as Executive, I will use this authority to eject any raider puppet who sticks around for more than 3 weeks.

7. If the raider puppet continues to return after three consecutive ejections, then I will appeal to the council for permission to ban them according to the constitution which states:

"2. The Executive may not ban a nation from the region without the consent of a simple majority of the Regional Council."

With these 7 simple steps in place, I believe that The Mystical Council will be safe from suffering a fate similar to my other region.

This is my regional security nation. I will not leave the region under any circumstances. I will always answer issues to build influence.

Precisely which embassies are "fascist"?

The fifth invasion of The Mystical Council was interesting because it was the first one that came in by sea. The sailors of the Red Fleet launched torpedoes at all of The Mystical Council's embassies from submarines and naval vessels. The WFE they put up contained an accusation (also unique): "This region has given quarter to Fascist embassies, and so they have been torpedoed out of the water by the Nautical Brothers and Sisters of THE RED FLEET!" Freedom of speech was hindered but not suppressed, an important distinction. Their purpose in removing embassy region communication via the RMB, is probably motivated by their concern that "fascist embassies" may communicate with the region via the RMB. By removing embassy posting they have prevented our association with said embassies. Thus, protecting the region from such influences. A new regional flag was established under the leadership of Trf Submarine Group V and all dispatches were removed.

This invasion was unique in that it was not entirely brutal. For example, the poll and tags were left alone and free speech was not suppressed.

[region=Union of Nationalists], which is a member of the Nazi/fascist alliance "[region=Third Rome]". TRF, being antifascist, moved into this region to correct that problem.

I honestly thought that Union Of Nationalists was about national sovereignty. But perhaps I didn't dig deep enough.

I'd have to say you didn't dig deep enough. They have the "Fascist" tag, openly say that they're Third Rome in their WFE, and their flag is based on the flag of the British Union of Fascists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Union_of_Fascists

Very well, I'm glad The Red Fleet brought this to my attention. I clearly wasn't paying any attention at all. We already have a poll going on so I encourage the entire region to vote right here on the RMB. For or against the closing of the Embassy with Union Of Nationalists.

If I get a vote, then I'm obviously in favor. If not, then that's fine too.
