As the Invasion RP between Andy and Maur was mutually agreed upon, I didn't want to intervene, Maur's sudden change of rules would have led to intervention if it didn't fall apart -Andy wanted a Mod to actually monitor the rules-

In short, Mods keep things MT but don't generally intervene in RP unless asked to by one of the parties (See the RP between Andy and TCADS for example, TCADs had jetpacks but neither asked mods to intervene).

That might be OK?

This is a questionable thing since the only two other nations that deviate from the norm don't really RP, and especially don't RP war.

Frankly, you might need to not have those insane things because -even if you treat them the exact same way as humans- you'll still end up with jarringly non-MT aspects similar to things we've already denied. It would be pretty irresponsible to give you special treatment, you know?

That said, you can keep it as a national factbook, it just becomes unrecognized by the RPs at that point.

Literally the only difference between my RP posts and any other person's, is maybe pointing something out with their tail, or like growling when angry. There's really nothing about my nation in RP that's extreme in any way.

I'm just trying to get my head around the idea of having elected RP mods. It seems like doing something without official impact on the regional map and/or predetermining your RP's own mods moves the RP out of the regional mod's jurisdiction.

It seems like the mods would actually become more interventionist if they were elected.

It should be noted that a mod has to preside over RP in the case of an RP resulting in map changed.

Cut taxes entirely by running on a market socialist system!

If you have an economy made entirely of government owned companies that hand over all of their profits, then use a government handled wage system to hand out carefully calculated wages to the employees, you're getting both a huuuuuuuge amount of government revenue and public support for no tax rates!

Kinda, but nowhere as much as the rest of them. Because of some infighting that took place after my great grandfather died after I was born, my branch of the family (mom, grandma, great aunt, uncle, great grandma, great uncle) in Indiana and Michigan was pretty much cut off from the rest in Texas and Georgia. We still don't really talk to the rest of the family in Georgia and Texas except when there's a family crisis (last time I saw my great uncle Brett was in 2014 when my great grandmother died).

My great uncle Brett took over my great grandpa Arthur's company then sold it out a couple years ago after running it into the ground. The building that we had down there is still standing, and if you want the address to it, I don't mind sharing it.
