Designing a flag is going to be difficult, I have Kentucky as well as all of Nevada but a large part of Texas and Arizona as well.

If you're a colonists to Africa then you better be peaceful, and stable, because you're in my sphere of Influence. Better not bring that foreign imperialist BS to my continent. Either accept my Exceptionalism in Africa and adhere to the policies of Chertkovo (My capital) or claim somewhere else OR make my day and try to cause instability in Africa.
[[[Note: Margoe, you don't have to go to war if you don't want to]]]

No, but he's new and I wanted to keep him from thinking he'd be pushed out with war.
Oh really? Quite frankly nobody gives a damn about your mediocre, piece of sh*t country placed in the middle of nowhere with no resources and backwood hicks. You better watch your tone and your mouth boy before you start stuff you can't finish. Now if you want to have a problem with me, then I am more than glad to put you in your place. I've been itching for a militant conflict since the day I got here.
idgaf if he is new. He better watch what he says before a conflict starts that he cannot finish

Politically Margoe is rather center left libertarian
It's been communist since I created it in 2013. Unfortunately, its not like I can do much with it. Russkov SOVIET.... I'm pretty much set on Communism.
Sadly, NationStates won't let us change our names without having to create an entirely new nation.

Soviet literally means Council in Russian.

Hokay Hokay, lets keep it civil; please remember that while you both share a continent and you personally have a pretty good spot, you did do a soft reset on your nation and aren't the political superpower you want to be, yet

Hey, Yuk.
Since you're a unionist, I want to ask you. Do you think the status quo of the UK's political structure is fine? Or do you believe in devolution? Perhaps a federal UK? Or do you believe in abolishing devolution to return to the days of one British government?
Penguania And Antarctica
Federal. Devolution.
Penguania And Antarctica
There's a unionist in our midsts?
No dice. I don't feel like there's a enough effort being put into it. Most posts are a couple lines long. I'm not expecting paragraphs, but some of our OOC conversations are longer than that.
Well, the Maple Leaf Cardinal has been retired for another year. See you next July, buddy!
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Do you support one devolved legislature for England or regional legislatures for different English regions?
Yuk believes in the UK.

Penguania And Antarctica
And the North belonging to the UK?
Yuk says he's big on self-determination. So while I am sure he would like to see the North remain in the UK, if they chose to join the Republic then he'd support that.
Yukona
Huh. July and August are the hottest months here.
Well, I said "Godforsaken", so I just assumed Scotland :P
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
We're the most irreligious part of the UK. The more Godforsaken, the better!
Penguania And Antarctica
England isn't that regional to be honest, it'd be pointless - unless it's really needed. I do support a solution to the West Lothian Question, yes.
If by that you mean Scotland, if they want to, yes. If they don't no. If by that you mean the North of England, that was just bullsh*t that p*ssed of Mancs and Scousers moaned about, and it was only a few at that sensationalised by the media.
Awful! The UK should just kick you out. Take their missiles and leave you with your unholy oil profits.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
He meant Northern Ireland. I don't like having Scotland referred to as "the North" as it implies we're a region of Greater England, not a country of the United Kingdom. Besides, Scotland has a North too, as does England.
What powers do you think a federal Westminster should have?
You are the north of the UK, whether you like it or not, if that's what he was referring to. Referring to the "south" of Great Britain implies England, yadeyayade. Bavaria has a north. Catalonia has a north. Texas has a north. Veneto has a north. Any place, relative to where you are, has a north.
And if he means Northern Ireland, it's a bit more complicated, given that self-determination is a human right and more than half the people there don't want to leave at all - regardless of how they got there.
Britain out of Ireland and Scotland out of Britain
Lex Caledonia, United Continental States
Yes, good one my friends toasts glass
If you seriously want to get into Irish-British history and revolutionary Republic politics then we can.
What we need to do is start an American chapter of the IRA that harrasses British nationals. Because extreme violence always gets your point across.
United Continental States
You. I like you.
Auxorii
I start school on the 21st, though move-in day is on the 15th
Kalaron
The Sons of Erin do a good job of promoting Irish culture in the States, already.
When have I ever endorsed "extreme violence" or harrassment of British nationals? I'm dating a British girl. I'm not anglo-phobic, I'm Irish Republican.
What a lot of people fail to realize is that the Provisional IRA wasn't attempting to kill civilians, and they did all they could by sending messages and warnings before they were about to bomb. They would bomb infrastructure and Unionist forces in order to paralyze the British state, they did this in politics as well. Irish Republic parties refuse to take their seats in parliament in order to make the government unable to function. The IRA isn't sectarian, Catholic or Protestant, all are Irish and should be fighting for the Republic (the Wolfe Tones wrote a song about this called "Protestant Men").
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
It would probably be a good idea for the UK to have a written constitution to deal with the powers and rights of its constituent countries.

I get the sentiment but Britain is the island, not the state. Scotland will never be out of Britain unless we physically split away. We can get out of the UK though.
Jaslandia
Try telling the inbreds in Westminster that. Plus, I wouldn't trust the London politicians do write any UK constitution. No doubt there'd be an inbuilt bias for England and the rest of the provinces must do as they are told.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
I cant ever justify violence against civilians, no matter how many warnings were given. Both sides (nationalist and unionist) terrorists have blood on their hands. I just dislike how one-sided some people can be. Like over here, hardcore unionists bang on about the IRA as if they are the devil incarnate but conveniently ignore the atrocities committed by unionist terrorists and the British Army.
But if they do acknowledge their own side's deeds, it turns into "ah, yes but they killed more people so they are badder."
Jaslandia, Kalaron
That is just a consequence of having a majoritarian democracy. England has the largest population, so its interests will be represented the most.
And that's why the union has to end.
Dude, it was just a joke. I didn't mean for anyone to take that seriously.
So by your logic, should every region in the world that has a small population and is overshadowed by larger regions secede?
Scotland is not a region. It is a country. And we have every right to leave the UK if we want. Are you saying that because England has the largest population, we should just do as we're told and let them decide everything for us?
A region is a space that is distinct from another area. Scotland is a place that is different from the rest of the UK. I was using the broader, apolitical definition of the word region.
Of course, I didn't say that. I just stated that England is going to have the most power in a majoritarian democracy because it has the largest population. I didn't say that was good or bad.
You were the one who made a snide comment about small regions of places seceding because they were dominated by a bigger region. Seemed like you were implying that Scotland should just hush up.
I was just carrying your ideas on Scottish independence to its logical extreme. You said that the union should end because Scotland is dominated by England politically, so I simply carried that idea to a global scale to see what you would think about that.
If people in a region want self-determination, and there's enough for a majority, sure, why not? Doesn't bother me.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
I don't know why NS mobile hates your name, but it seems to think you want it displayed vertically rather than horizontally.
Add that to the list of things I just love about this update.
Percyton
At least I now know you don't have double standards.
#WyomingiteIndependence
May you send me a screenshot so that I can see what this looks like on mobile?
Of course I wouldn't have double standards about somewhere wanting independence. It would be silly of me to say, "Us Scots should be independent but those Northern Irish ought to stay in the UK."
Oh, okay. On another note, what currency do you think Scotland should adopt if it becomes independent? Should it stay with a pound and form a currency union with the UK? Join the EU and adopt the Euro? Or should it adopt its own currency?
Why can't they just have independence if they want?
It should have its own currency, the Scottish pound. That way it has control over its own fiscal policy. What's the point of being independent if your interest rate is set by London or Brussels?
I know that, it's just an easier saying. People get what I mean by "Britain". Don't worry, I'm not geographically illiterate.
Obviously the IRA killed civilians, but that doesn't hurt their message or their intent to not kill civilians in my mind.
The Unionist's killings were worse being they intended to kill civilians just for being Catholic. The IRA intended to kill as least people possible.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Well I'm not going to get into that. I just think the Northern Irish should do what they think is best. I hope to see a united Ireland someday though.
It'll happen.
