I think it’s important to highlight how much Merc’s chancellorship is already showing activity and cooperation with the wider region. The chancellorship isn’t just a stamp on your nation and I think Merc and his cabinet are showing the proper dedication and commitment that we should come to expect from our regional government, in other words - congrats to Merc and his cabinet

No, tankies are a group of people who will defend the Soviet Union and other left-wing authoritarian regimes no matter what. Many even support the Norks.

How awful! I remember when we engines first heard about that. We were horrified: not just by the huge deaths, but for it to happen on a train system! That scared a lot of us, and our passengers were also very frightened. We had fewer passengers for a while because of that, but as time passed and we put into place some minor 'se-cure-ity' measures, our passengers returned. And thankfully, we haven't had anything like the Madrid attack happen on our trains yet, so that's good.

And while the Soviet Union did have it's atrocities and shady past, I assure you that..as Spanelsko put it.. We may be the "Second Coming of the Soviet Union", but our motives are pure.

Of course I wasn't talking about you, Mr. Premier! You're very nice, and Percyton is very glad to be allied with your nation! I was referring to the old USSR, the one that collapsed in 1991 (I think that was the year).

Yeah...

About that, Chernarus is what happens when the worst parts of Caucasian nationalism (think the Chechen Wars and the insurgency in the Caucasus) are mixed together with heavy amounts of ethnic cleansing mixed with resentment of apparent Russian supremacy, historical conflicts, and sympathies to ideologies that are terrifying. That, plus a civil war supposedly started by a Russian separatist group in the northern territories, have left a mindset in Chernarusians that basically advocate genocide or the expulsion of Russians and "treasonous races" (basically other Slavs and groups like the Ingush, Abkhazians, and Ossetians, possibly the Equestrians as well), further compounded by the post-Soviet New Unity Party, which itself is an ungodly bureaucratic mix of the CPC, CPSU, NSDAP, and other parties from one-party states, which controls the government and tends to advocate Chernarusian ultranationalism.

Why thank you. And yes... December 25th, 1991. One of the strangest Christmas Day's I have ever had. And to think.. None of us expected that OR the subsequent fall of the Russian Federation in 2013.

I see. Well... I will spread the word around, so our forces and citizens will see your border as legit and not-crossable. I know it will mean little, due to the amount of suffering your people have gone through, but we offer our condolences and accept the blame for the past. We have found no records of Equestrians participating in any of the Federations atrocities, but we will keep searching so we can work towards a different future. I mean.. Russia has collapsed at least?

Trust me, it's not your fault. For the most part, the country itself is at fault for its heavy self-imposed isolation and tendency to react violently to change. The last couple of years, basically the Soviet Era of Stagnation, was a really bad reminder of the Chernarusian Empire's own decay before going Soviet, and Zevchevko taking power during the transition was the worst thing to come out it, especially after he effectively called for genocide against the Russians after an assassination attempt in '93, the main contributor to the civil war breaking out.

Yeah.. It does sound like things have been horrific. That's why I'm VERY glad that the USSR/RF have collapsed. I'll have an envoy sent over to the border, or further with your ok, so we can work on the future.

We still miss the old USSR but as you say we consider you second coming of the once mighty USSR. Even if your people aren't exactly human. Then again communist horses/equestrians/something is interesting change.

Well... We are still "technically" the old USSR since many of our grandparents were under the Soviet rule. And we DO have humans in our nation.. I believe it's a 80% Equine to 20% Human split.

What happened to all the humans who lived there before? Did they become equines, or leave the country?

It's actually more complicated. Between the 1950's and 1970's, there was a lot of Equine-Human cross breeding due to some of the chemicals dropped by NATO Nationalists. Over the last ten years, EQUUS-7 reinfected the rest. We are slowly getting more back.

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton

Having sent us the proper application and credentials, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the knowledge of the Chancellor, has agreed to construct embassies with Ascotera. The embassies should open in two days.

The Administration has not reached a decision as to whether to open embassies with the region Liber. A determination is expected soon, most probably tomorrow.

The request to open embassies from Lardyland was denied as that region is a mere continuation of Spam, which caused problems in other regions' RMBs. It was decided by the Chancellery to immediately reject that proposal, without the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on that basis.

Few actually physically "mated" due to the differences in genitalia. The chemicals were ment to cause the feral instincts in the Equine population to come out, so our intelligence drop would allow an easier invasion. All that resulted was a lack of function, like weed would induce. Cross-breeding was done via in vitro fertilization, because at the time scientists believed that the EQUUS-7 virus could be weeded out that way. I'll say it again

.. Human-Equine "f*cking" is banned by the State due to medical and safety reasons. Pregnant mares were given a special serum that was ment to mess with the developing fetus. The testing did little, except cause the human population to get infected.. by airborne pathogens as records indicate.

Again... NO ONE F*CKED! (Stallion x Mare) and (Man x Woman) I can understand that my hurried response, which was poorly typed, led to such perverted thoughts.

[spoiler=Update from Parliament]Attention Citizens,

Apologies for all the RMB posts. At the very least, they are an indication of an active Parliament and I'm trying my best to ensure that the region is consistently aware when parliamentary items are being debated or voted upon.

A motion entitled The University Charter Resolution has been introduced the the Hall of Discourse for a two day debate. Debate will conclude at 11:00am Eastern on Wednesday, March 14. This motion may be accessed here:

Actually... Stalin supported us thanks to our service in the Great Patriotic War, but recent documents unearthed something else. Leonid Brezhnev wanted to eradicate us because he feared that we were to powerful, but he failed and Yuri Andropov used us as National Guard troops.

Oh. Well now I feel even worse, since 'Brezhnev' was the Soviet leader we allied with, and he actually made a big visit to Percyton in 1971. Sorry about that, Russ! We wouldn't have invited him if we knew!
