Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
*reminisces on the days of the SRC*
Saskatchewan Research Council?
I don't think anyone is advocating spaceships. I think it's more if you're in the bottom 10% of scientific advancement, you can't reasonably have a navy comparable to that of the United States.
Serene Roleplay Commission
I... don't know what that is. But the words "Serene" and "Commission" make me wary.
*reminisces about the Saskatchewan Research Council instead*
I disagree still since people should be allowed to build a nation and do RP independently of each other.
As long as RPs require detailed applications that give other players a good idea of the other nations they're dealing with, that's acceptable to me. Not my preference, but eh.

I assumed you guys were discussing non-receptor tyrosine kinase proteins
I don't think so.
Thanks.

Send me answers for the poll boi
You do realize it isn't issues; its stats, and it's all be applied in a modern tech fashion.

I honestly wish I could bolster my industrial complex without sacrificing income equality. Not that I don't like Tech, Tourism, and Books. But, Retail and Manufacturing wouldn't be bad, either
And issues decide stats.
I believe full well that strength in an RP -and this does translate to Strength if we're still going by a military model- shouldn't be a time on NS thing.
You should become like me then.
I'm the epitome of income equality and economic prowess.

Nah. No reason to be unhappy just because I am unhappy. I'm not an indicator for the general mood.

I also left a link to it so you can zoom in on it and actually know what I'm talking about :P

For those of us who have been on NS for years and gone through periods of inactivity and/or activity on other nations, using NS is a clear disadvantage because their stats are not going to be as good as someone who has been consistently answering issues throughout their time on NS. Consequently to this, nations who have been around longer (even if they haven't answered issues, or have answered their issues deliberately stupidly) will usually be better than those who are just passing the 1 billion mark. The use of NS stats is too advantageous to those of us who have been around a long time. In my opinion, the single best way to do RP is to allow people to RP the way they want to within reason (tech limit, nothing stupid) and to have it policed by moderators.
However, I think all of this is pointless considering we're not a region with a continuously running RP like some others who do a form of continuous RP on the RMB, but instead we cut our RPs into entirely different threads surrounding different things that can sometimes be years apart or not even in the same universe. I think the best course of action is not to design a standardised system outside of those which we need to (the map and geo-lore essentially) and let the OPs of future RPs manage their RPs the way they wish. We have consistently rejected attempts to create a unified Ministry of Roleplay or attempts to place RP under government control so that we can have this greater freedom. We shouldn't diminish it by designing systems to limit it. That way, even though we're officially a MT region with a map set in the (near) present day, you should be free to go and form your own RP set in the past, the future or anywhere in between without input or hindrance from anyone else.
The problem with this region (and its predecessors) is that we often get so caught up in designing maps, fashioning alliances and arguing over management and systems that we never get round to actually RPing.

You have a some good points there

I have received a few TG by the members of our community asking me to appoint them as Ministers of Defense. Guys, we do not have a Ministry of Defense. ;P
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
So true.

Nor do we need one >.>

Thank you for appreciating the hard work I put into subjugating and oppressing the unwashed masses.
I honestly have a lot of fun doing this to my populace XD

you are an insane, sadistic, and down right evil son of a b!tch. I like that.
Vista Major, Pirate Kingdoms, Magnatronia
We have a Minister of Engagement- although I don't think we need one.
But, still, considering the office exists, is there any plan to fill it or, barring that, start the ball rolling to abolish it?
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
ContCom for Supreme Ruler !! =)
Jaslandia
...that was random
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I thought I was already married to one Supreme Ruler?
Where's Vista? He always keeps track of these things.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Wait, there's more than one supreme ruler here? Who's the real one?
I have heard that some Delegates were working on a bill to take down that Ministry? Plus not any of the people I know and talked too wanted to take that job. They find it useless and I couldn't agree more with them.
Jaslandia
Interesting that I wasn't shipped by Vista yet.

I do believe it will, though.
Like, you can say it won't, but economic output will determine whether nations can buy the best gear and Advancement will have an impact on what they develop, and would presumably impact what they can use in an RP due to how they play their nation.
Like Unf and I have said, it would make the system quite a bit unfair and prioritize having been a nation for a while -and voting sensibly on issues- rather than being a decent RPer.
If someone wants to RP their nation the way they resolve issues -to an extent- then it is fine, but it is a different matter entirely to make it a matter where they kinda have too.
I see that now. Unf and you made some good points.
Voilà :

Sorry Vista. The authority given to this Minister is already vested in the Office of the Vice President as per the First Amendment and I think this officeholder is more than capable to perform this task.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, I have decided upon two names for the Complex.
First, Charybdis for the primary facilities, and "The Maw" for a single -this plays into a passive defense strategy that will also do with audio inside of the facility- extremely dangerous area.
Gonna look for some good areas to place it.
Baxten is always open to help a fellow allied company. Besides, we've got tons of water.
I'll check the map and cross reference to try to find the best spot that I can.
This said, I should mention that this will be a significant component of Kalaron Labs and access won't be available for many -or any- outside people, especially not The Maw.
[RP IC]
In a private statement towards "Kalaron Labs", The Anthropogenic Institute of Science, Technology and Philosophy is offering aid and extra funding towards the development of the Charybdis Deep-Sea Research Facility, in exchange for its aid, the Institute asks for access into the facility and the information and research being done there
[IC] I'll pay you ten quadrillion dollars for it. Everything.
I don't know whether to be thankful or destitute over this
N
o
.
*Cough* 'fraid access to the lab isn't for sale, friend.
Maybe later, but not right now. >.>
Fine. 80 septillian dollars. Final offer
[RP IC]
Can one of your trusted allies come into this facility?
[IC] Yeah, like me?
IC: No
Welp, TVF just approved relations with that raider region I mentioned on New Years
*sigh*
Nope.
Please refer to last post, want to at least develop more info about base before anything like this.
The hell?
Why would they do that?
TVF?
Several of the raiders started to cozy up with them on Discord during my drought period away from TVF's channel. Once I got word from the main guy (supposedly drunk when he sent the telegram on New Years'), the expectation was to consider: however, in my mindset, regional neutrality requires we do not discuss with raiders in full, though defender regions are also under stipulation - their's was to consider it altogether. Anyways, can't do a thing about it since I resigned the position (public opinion within the region during the MoFA election showed an overwhelming majority to my opponent, so I would've be removed anyway). Honestly, the whole thing is starting to become a repeat of the NGA (Discord channel leading to bellicose arguments centered by a leading nation, political groups exacerbating the situation, general disregard for the region's Constitution and laws).
Jaslandia
The Versutian Federation: used to be my home region from 2013 to 2014 (when I moved UCT to the Commonwealth). It's the same region I returned to after Ru went full nutjob and where both UCT and the other puppets still reside. Commonwealth military forces actually assisted the members of the VF military against a raider region previously (that actually coincided with my own military service to the Federation), and I recall Lavan helping out when some raider tried to open up the original region as a trophy one.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, The United Providences Of Perland
If there is one thing I've learned, you need to call out that leading nation if he's in the wrong.
People might be silent, but at least you tried to keep it safe, you know?
Discord is fine, provided people realize the rat in the pile and don't drink the coolaid. As for the laws...fight for it if you have the strength.
I've been in your shoes, and I know how terrible it is to fight without people noticing, but you need to keep standing up for what's right, because god forbid any of those things fully go into being set in stone and sweet jesus forbid that that cancer that is corruption fully lay roots.
You'll have a family here regardless < 3
Jaslandia, Pirate Kingdoms
Hey, quick question for you dudes, would you be interested in participating in a Magnatronian civil war RP? I would wanna pit the CEO of OmniCorp; Dr. Light, with his son Protoman, against the President of OmniCorp; Dr. Wily, with his massive army of automated robotic fascist thugs. Yes, it would have battles between robots and cyborgs. Just asking if you'd be interested.
Also, holy crap I just realized my nation is surrounded by three others. I'm boxed in. At least I know I can count on my buddy Kumania.
So glad I finally have other nations bordering me other than you lol
Trust me, after that stunt you guys proved to be more of a family than they could, despite them being my first region. Also, the majority of the active nations do support relations and didn't like me not being involved much on Discord, so my fight ended pretty quick, sadly.
Jaslandia
I'm forever alone :P actually no one is near me except peng, and he's in friggen Antarctica...
Thinking I might annex a few spots around me if I can; gonna reunite the Gran Colombia territories :P
Well sh!t.
I suppose I can only say that they'll come around eventually if these guys really are such jerks.
Here's hoping that your region thrives, and to the thought that our Region remains free of toxin!

I stared at that for a solid 5 minutes without realizing the "B" in "Base" was a B and not a C or an E or something XD
That's OK.
I did it in Paint, so a lack of Quality is expected.

Ooh, new rp?
My day was great. I got candy in science.

Vista, what alliances of ours are still in power?
That is literally so awesome

NS or RP?
Both.

Hey, I just updated mein today too!

Yours is gonna be hella detailed, though. I'm about ready to draw the line where I am now.
Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
You spelled mine wrong.
I guess, if you really want to try to see what Charybdis base is that badly :/
Of all my many, many typos, this is one that I'm actually okay with.
Goddamn, that's a sexy factbook
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
From my experience, I don't think we'll be getting our old alliances back, at least without some efforts. They either don't wanna be connected with a region that had moved multiple times, or they're going through a political turmoil themselves and can't be bothered to connect with us
RP-wise, there's Bax's ITF and Flynn's ASN (Assembly of Sovereign Nations). New ones are to come
Minnesota Dakota
Agreed
Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Thank you.

If you're willing, I'm all for bringing back the North Naboo Pact

Yes! Do we need more members? Also, how do you make a wiki factbook page?

But since it's not a nation, I can modify it.

Thanks.
Should we merge with the ASN, if at all possible?

That said, the story fragments I'll be making for it would probably be more interesting. :P
