That's your right. Now to dispel any notion of hypocrisy, find the Iron Fortress in the embassy list of the HRB and take appropriate action.
how can a lemony lemon king like yourself be pushed around. appeasement policies never work out, soon alisitia will be making all the decisions!
I can't just overthrow a democratically elected guy. I voted for him.
HRB has several nations from us there. I can't just end the embassy with our nation's other home
Edit: I also do not want our embassies to end. I will stop it for now but I can't guarantee it will remain that way. Alistia still has the right to close and open embassies
Post self-deleted by Magna Bavaria.
I stopped the closure, I did not realize HRB had the iron fortress there. I can't say if it will remain that way, that final call is up to alistia. Ask him if you wish to keep embassies
Magna Bavaria
This is crazy!
Just so that I can get my ducks in a row, a member of this region in a senior position, closed an Embassy with a region because a member posted something that some of you in this region don't agree with? Bearing in mind, it was posted on their own RMB...
lol Okay...
Anyway let me rather take several seats... I can see this region is extremely young...
I'm not taking a jab at anyone, but if this offends you, then I am very sorry, but you are going to fail if this is the road the region wants to go... You have inactive leaders with no clear direction, you have members who close embassies without approval from the government or whatever due to personal issues and opinions.
No one spoke about the way forward and how they want the region to grow or what needs to be done to grow the region...
Just so that I know, are you guys lost in what to do with the region? Is there no real desire to make it work or what?
Gyuamno, Northern Forestavia
Please don't take the post above personal... Just want to know where the regions stands.
Oh im not offended. I don't agree with what happened but we can learn from it
Edit: we should consult the new lunar council soon on what should be done in the future

I’m going to be honest and say I don’t know what’s up with the embassy thing but if any region we have embassies with has extreme political views whether left or right then we shouldn’t have embassies with them.
Malcholm
The majority of the embassies seem to be rather neutral in their political stance. My only grievance about the embassy closures is that there is little explanation for their closures besides the fact that they were disliked. I believe that there needs to be more than that to excuse shutting down an embassy we can't really afford to lose.
Lalucia, Malcholm, Exotic Lemon
Im not saying i disgree with you. However, i would ask what you meant by “we can’t really afford to lose”?
Exotic Lemon
As a small region, embassies are important to our appearance, and if they are closed without reason it makes us look like we have a corrupt unstable government. On the flip side, If we have many embassies with other regions, it makes us look better in the eyes of someone debating on joining us, especially if the Government is strong and inclusive.
Having many embassies can also increase our chances of calling for allies in an actual raid, increasing our security potential. I believe that some others in regions that have embassies with us would aid us.
Lalucia
Yes. It is crazy, isn't it? The craziness is also contagious. Sooner or later, you'll be affected, too. O_O
*Hands potato*
TMC has been limping along for a long time but recently it seems to be rediscovering itself. I suspect the level of lostness to be dropping slightly in the near future.
On a scale from 0 to 100 (where 0 is least lost and where 100 is the most lost), I would rank TMC's lostness to be averaging about... mmmmmmmm 56.78 at the moment.
We're slightly more than halfway lost! But hear ye, hear ye! There is hope! For it is written in the Gospel of Kazukame, "Glory be to Kazukame, God of dedication and abundance, for those who are lost will be found. Those without the light will discover it." And even New Bacon, the God of Strength, advises us in the scriptural passages, "Stay strong in the midst of uncertainty for if one loses their way they will soon enough find it." And Lord Mugwop threatens the volcano (with celery treatment) for anyone who strays from the path.
(We should make the dead nations into a pantheon of Gods. It would help with TMC's lore and culture.)
Gyuamno, Malcholm, Exotic Lemon
We need a funeral for: Bacon, AU912, Mugwop, Naumadal (maybe), and oakplumington
Malcholm, Terran Flux, Viva Italia
Everyone knew my views on the embassies i tried to close, yet i was elected to do the job of foreign policy/embassies anyway.
UoN and Kaiserreich are both well known fascist extemist regions, for which we have closed embassies with multiple times, but the founder reconstructed them during his fake emergency for fun.
There is no point in having elected offices if he office holder can't even use his powers without the WAD vetoing the action over someone complaining.
The office of the steward should not exist if they can't even use their powers.
Wolflandil, Malcholm, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
A system of checks and balances is important to any government system. The King and Duke also have power over embassies and have just as much right to exercise their powers when the Steward acts in a way that works against the interests of our kingdom and the people who live here.
You were asked a direct question on the RMB by several different people as to why you closed the embassies and you did not answer their questions. I don't blame his Majesty or the Duke for canceling the closures.
Gyuamno, Lalucia, Terran Flux
In the interest of fairness I feel I should offer to reinstate Alistia. We may not have agreed on embassies, but I would like to see you return to office. You were elected by the people, they want to see you as foreign affairs.
Lalucia, Wolflandil, Malcholm
ive been sick :-(
Terran Flux
Interesting...
same
Get well soon
Sure ill take it back, but the centralization of powers has been established.
Malcholm
No... checks and balances has been established... You and other members have the powers and functions to do the necessary tasks, but you must remember you have a leader who needs to know what is going on.
Malcholm
The fun and games never cease

Random question: Does anyone here want to reinstate political parties or create a royal family?
Lalucia, Terran Flux
Why not both?
Exotic Lemon
I agree, both would be great!
But I know I might be borderline nagging, but Constitution first maybe? I was told to come up with one if I remember, but I can't do it right now...
The constitution is a long and awful process, please ask the late new bacon. If people want one I can try to write one but no sense in doing so if only 1-2 people want it.
So do people want a constitution?

You have it. Everyone has permission, I just wanted to make sure there is enough activity to support familys

Just a brief update.
I have arrived in China last Monday.
Such a beautiful place, I am in love.
Some nights I may have some free time to check up on things here, so stay tuned!

Hello, y'all. This isn't the type of poll my region normally does, but I've been working on this project for awhile and wanted some more detailed data.

That URL will take you to a Google Forms poll about dividing the United States of America. Please fill it out and take time to consider your answers. Thank you.
Sorry to come around again so soon. I know you're used to a nice long absence to get my smell out of your bar.

Any room for a few billion hot air balloons? :D
Gyuamno, Malcholm, Terran Flux, Alley Cats
We're good! Glad you all stopped by
Of course, plenty of air space to go around

I think it's been ages since TAO brought in some rum cookies!
Skodatruck Drivers, The 21 Hot Air Balloonists, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon, Alley Cats
OH YES! You know how we've all been waiting to be featured for over three years? Well this right here is 1000 times better than getting featured! We've been featured by the Travelling Region!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!
This group is legendary! This is too cool! I can't believe this is happening right now! :D
*Brings firewood*
*Gets a nice warm fire going*
I say we pass around the peace pipe and share our stories with each other! :D
For the record, anybody from their group is welcome here anytime. Anytime.
Thank you! :)

Region mates,
I've been inactive lately. I'm going to try to do better but I can't guarantee anything.
Terran Flux
What a great day! I haven't bumped into you guys since Thanksgiving. :)
Skodatruck Drivers, Malcholm, The 21 Hot Air Balloonists, Terran Flux
Thank you for the kind words
Malcholm, Terran Flux
Hello! Thanks for the cookies! :)
Tao The Wanderer, Stone Circle Aviators, Malcholm, The 21 Hot Air Balloonists
That was a year and a half ago. You have a good memory.
The 21 Hot Air Balloonists, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
We're very Memorable, TAO!
Forestavia, Terran Flux
That you are.
Terran Flux
Indeed he is.
Sorry I´m late. The police stopped me. S.U.I. Steering under the influence.
Migrating Geese, Stone Circle Aviators, Terran Flux
So how do you guys pick your regions you visit?
Terran Flux
They take bribes!
Terran Flux
SQUAWK We visit them in alphabetical order.
Wolflandil, Terran Flux
No,No,No.
What Flying Kiwi Birds said, plus we do consider requests usually through our fearless winged leader.
Wolflandil, Terran Flux
How long does each visit last?
Terran Flux
We have no set time limit. A few days, usually. We have a request pending. Usually we honor them, unless it's too far out of our way.
Terran Flux
Depends on the travel conditions. Sometimes there's bad weather on the route, but we always arrive in happy places ;)
Terran Flux
Well, not always. Once we were welcomed with open arms, and then the founder kicked us all out. Now that's something I just don't understand, because we're such a warm and fuzzy bunch!
Terran Flux
Reverse alphabetical order just to make it interesting.
Terran Flux
Either is fine. "Alphabetical disorder" would sound like some kind of mental disturbance...
Skodatruck Drivers, Terran Flux
I don't know, I would be a little frightened myself if suddently the sky turned dark as an armada of billions of balloons, geese, flying rock-mobiles, and magical tao power fly in with a stampede of kiwi birds and skoda trucks on the ground. But you would think Tao's rum cookies would ease anyone's worries!
Terran Flux
Those cookies are defenently amazing! No matter what chaos ensues, it will be all good as long Tao brings rum cookies.

Rum cookies, eh ? Swell. A ship´s captain´s dream food. One can feed the crew and save on the grog.
Tao The Wanderer, Wolflandil, Terran Flux
Post by Stone Circle Aviators suppressed by Domos Pinca.
That would mean all the more grog for the captain. :P
Tao The Wanderer, Terran Flux
Indeed. And likely lead to mutiny.
It could be the beginning of a fine sea story, I think. How TAO´s rum cookies led to disaster on the high seas.
Stone Circle Aviators, Terran Flux
We need to take a slight diversion before heading south again. Thanks you all for a most entertaining visit!
Terran Flux
Aha! Now I remember why this region was familiar. I was the guy from 230 days ago who owns Tmc Refounder.
Anyway,
*floats off into the sunset* Thanks for hosting us!
Malcholm, Alpha Wolf, Terran Flux
Safe trails!
Malcholm
Attention Please!
Our ally Alpha Wolf has asked if anyone here is interested in a merge with his region. I will host a poll to see what some thoughts are. Please vote.

Last time we merged with alpha he ended up kicking everyone and leaving the region, and he does this with many other regions all the time, dont fall for it.
Alpha Wolf, Eastern Forestavia, Parakka Northland
My WalkAbout continues ... you have been great hosts. Thank you.

I'm not going to argue about that again, I have already stated what happened before. The other regions in the past we moved to just shake things up so to speak.
When TWC was created, the core members and myself agreed we are making this place our final stop, we move no more. We are happy with who we are and just would like to share that with others.
Greetings brother, I hope you are doing well.
Gyuamno, Eastern Forestavia
hmmmm... I think i'm still too new to have an opinion...
Everyone is welcome to have an opinion, you have been here for a while and we would like to hear your thoughts
Lalucia, Eastern Forestavia
o7 Alpha Wolf remembers me.
I am well comrade. How are you?
Alpha Wolf, Terran Flux
Thank you for that...
In that case, based on what I ready previously, you already tried a merger... It didn't work... What guarantee do we have that things would be different this time around, and what exactly is on the table if the region decides to merge with theirs?
Alpha Wolf, Terran Flux
I'm good.
It would be different this time compared to what was mentioned earlier. There was a lot of politics involved in that merger a long time ago.
What's on the table now? Well I'm not going anywhere, so region security would be stable. Yes we have a monarchy but there will be 3 Parliament (or Senate) positions that are elected by a poll to keep the people's interest represented. We have a Sports League for those who like sports, the current season coming to end so new season will start up in nnear future. We have a military for those who like to participate, it's not mandatory. We have a Discord to chill in or chat about serious issues if we don't want it discussed on the rmb. The discord can have rooms added if needed.
Lalucia, Terran Flux
Hello. I see the beautiful triskelion on your regional flag.
Malcholm, Terran Flux
Sorry I missed the poll... Having compared our current state of affairs and an inactive founder, I think a merger would do us some good... I think we should debate this some more... So that is my opinion.
This is the second time this has been suggested and failed the first time
You guys ok over here? I see we're debating the merge with Alpha's region again. Haha! Some things never change! I love it!
Anyway, I'm still alive-ish. Just taking breaks from NS here and there.
Malcholm, Parakka Northland
*Pokes Alpha*
But how do we really know you won't close the region down this time? What makes The Wolf Clan different? The people in The Mystical Council know that I'm absolutely nuts but one thing they can count on is that I'm never going to close the region down and kick everyone out (except maybe on April 1, 2019).
TMC is over three and a half years old. TWC hasn't even made it past the first year yet.
To your credit I like the self-governing principle contained in the Long Table dispatch. That would make me more likely to be for it since it's more of an alliance type of thing rather than a full-blown merge.
