Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Ladies and gentlemen! The poll is concluded and we have a clear winner with 8 votes! The Republic of China (Taiwan) is the region favourite state with limited recognition. Followed by Kosovo and Sahrawi with 2 votes each and Abkhazia and Transnistria with 1 vote each.

Vive Taiwan! Also the current poll is a really interesting question. Obvious pick for me, Canada is like the 'Nordics' of North America. In literal and geopolitical sense. One of the few other countries I could imagine myself living in.

How much is your license? Here in Ireland it's 160, almost all of which goes to the state owned broadcaster, which also earns revenue from commercials and sponsorship.
Nuremgard
145 quid a year. They underspend in Scotland too so we subsidise TV content in the rest of the UK. They are also biased as hell and love right-wingers. The BBC is trash.
They used to have good content. They always had good nature documentaries, and some good dramas too.
Nuremgard
Now and again they produce good dramas and documentaries but their news and political stuff is absolutely dire. I'm just glad I don't pay the license fee.

The Issue
It was a good day for communism when the Socialist Revolutionary Movement took control of the government in the tropical island nation of Haptu. However, three weeks later, a pro-capitalist counter-revolutionary group funded and armed by the United Federation seized power, installing a dictator in a brutal coup. Your advisors have assembled, and have brought a chess clock to ensure that each is allotted exactly the same amount of time to speak to you about this.
They stole it from us, those bourgeois pigs! exclaims Sandy Nista, your Minister of Proletarian Liberation, slamming his hand on the button to start the clock ticking. It might be different if these soulless capitalists were the legitimate government, but it isnt fair that they can just overthrow a communist leader who draws his mandate from The People! The Great Supreme Lord Khan, we need to act in the best interests of global communism, and that means military action! Down with the bourgeoisie!
So basically we are spreading communism to eradicate it later.... seems legit.

If we get this issue in Nurem, I wonder how we will answer. We've had a very bad experience with communism and so have a national aversion to the ideology but we also dislike supporting or working with dictators. We may very well just stay out of it altogether but we'll assess all the options.
Spanelsko
Same. I'd probably move to Canada if I was to emigrate anywhere. But if I could learn the language, I'd love to move to somewhere in Europe. Maybe Scandinavia, Spain or Germany.
Tschingtau
Seems like some of your people have become disillusioned. ^_^
"[I]Thank you for calling the Communism Help Desk. My name is Andrei. I've just recieved a notice from one of our technicians stating that you have had a bad experience with our ideology. How can I help?"
Nuremgard, Spanelsko
Hello there. You exiled our imperial family, instituted a dictatorship, brutalised and killed our people, worked them to death in concentration camps and brainwashed our kids. How do I claim compensation?

"[I]We're sorry. The company you are trying to reach has ceased to exist as of the 26th of December in 1991. All clients are instructed to contact President V. Putin of the Russian Federation. Thank you. Goodbye![/I]"
"[I]Our sincerest apologies. The Russian Federation is no longer in service, so all clients are encouraged to seek assistance from other superpowers. Goodbye![/I]"
Aleksi: Well....Great. I guess it falls on me to fix the mess I've been gifted. -grabs headset- [I]Thank you for holding. My name is Aleksi and I will be assisting you today. I have it here in my notes that you seek compensation. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do to heal the wounds and repair the damages caused, but our nation will do what it can. You will receive an email in two days with a form to claim what you believe to be fair compensation. I will stay in touch. Thank you. Goodbye.[/I] -takes off headset, cries-

I voted China because of its beautiful and dramatic landscape, its long and storied history with its emperors, the magnificent Forbidden City and its complex, mystical culture. In particular, its enchanting traditional music and traditional dress, as well as the beauty of its language in written and spoken form.
Russkov Soviet
I voted USA because there are two kinds of countries...
those who have given birth to zach efron and those who havent.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Tschingtau
I do find it a bit funny that Nurem doesn't like dictators and yet 2 biggest supporters of its leading party are Nazis of Iberia and Communists of reincarnated Soviet Union.
Don't worry he was shot after i started the invasion to spread communism, i mean really how am i supposed to use my death camps if i don't have bolsheviks to enslave?
EDIT: also still 666 for military :p
Russkov Soviet
Zac Efron is pretty tasty to be fair.
This truly is the golden age of zach efron comedies.
historians will regard it as a renessance.

Don't watch his films but he is attractive, I'll give him that.
Meh.

The Issue
A group of disgruntled language connoisseurs are complaining that loan-words from the Galliennais language are contaminating the native tongue of Spanelsko. They are calling for a government sponsored language purification project, robbing you of your joie de vivre as you try to relax and enjoy your pamplemousse cocktail.
Bah, humbug! grunts bellicose General Kennedy, while angrily smashing a Galliennais Merlot bottle on the floor. We dont have to tolerate this nonsense; lets bomb Galliennes into the ground and colonize them. Then theyll learn our language soon enough!
The Talking Point
Colonial subjects have Spanelskoan culture shoved down their throats.

Why did Canada get so many votes?
Tschingtau
It's a cool country. It's like a less batsh!t version of the US.
More like a counterfeit version of the US. Culturally, the two nations are pretty similar.
Two differences are Canada has an NHS and they don't kill each other en mass with guns the way Americans do.
Tschingtau
Those aren't cultural differences. They're political differences.
Nah it's definitely cultural. Canadians believe healthcare is a universal right that everyone should have access to, and that they should all pay into the system to help each other out. Americans are selfish bastards who'd rather see a kid die of cancer than fork out for their treatment through taxes.

It's my sister's birth today and the government sent her a lovely present through the mail: a jury summons. She got called up last time but never got picked so she was exempt for 5 years. Guess her 5 years are now up lol

Imagine Nazi Germany mixed with North Korea, Stalinist USSR, 1984 and ISIS multiplied by cancer and many atrocities and it would still be probably be an understatement to be called Dystopia :p

The Issue
Beautiful, blonde, and bisexual, the 25-year-old tennis player Winston Pournikova is perhaps better known for his modelling work and stunning smile than for the speed of his serves. In a recent TV interview, he was asked who his ideal lover would be. To your surprise, he named you, The Great Supreme Lord Khan.
Me after reading this: WTF?! Has NS forgotten that we have death sentence for non-heterosexuals?! Considering that in this issue i for some reason i can't send a death squad after this person, he must be from of the other ones in the region, whoever is hiding him i will gladly pay you for execution of this undesirable.

*an investigative journalist was today brutally tortured to death in the capital of Spanelsko on the basis of being of inferior non-European race, his death was broadcast to all of the Iberian lands as well as on the international ConF news network, and now on to the next news of the death games of Askana.....*

Ive had some time off so Ive been doing some gaming and writing. Lots of documentaries in the background too

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. The poll has been concluded and the results are in. Canada is the CoFN's favourite BIG country with a whopping 8 votes! A far second is the US with 3 votes, third is Russia with 2 and tied for fourth place is China, Australia and Argentina with 1 each.

All's well. Have completely turned my sleeping schedule around, going to bed when I get home from work and waking up in the middle of the night, oh well. How're you my friend?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm okay, thanks. Got a research assessment and a politics essay to do for uni. Then I have 2 upcoming exams in the next couple of months.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tschingtau
What's it concerning? Sounds interesting nonetheless. I am really looking forward to uni. Application opens in a week or so, but am almost certain Ill get admitted.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Good luck!
The research is just numbers and using a database. It's dire. I haven't decided on my essay topic yet but I need to create a presentation about Supreme Court nominations in the US. My exams are on American politics and conflicts in the Middle East.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tschingtau
I voted for the Axis powers because I find the ideologies that governed Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan during that time period fascinating.
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko, Tschingtau
It seems I'm the first to vote for the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, and I have no regrets about that. It's a relatively obscure alliance, but one that's been unbroken for centuries. Plus, I find it really interesting how close of an alliance these two seemingly-different nations had, and how long it lasted despite their differences.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Tschingtau
Really fascinating subjects you mention. Specifically questions regarding the Middle East.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/07/debunking-myth-that-anti-zionism-is-antisemitic
A very good article. I highly recommend you guys check it out.
Tschingtau, Stainistan
Axis mainly due to what Nazi Germany achieved like the fact that they forced back the USSR all the way back to Moscow, with all the problems and the resource limitations, as well as having Italy as an ally its truly impressive how much they managed to conquer.
Same in case of the Japanese Empire.
And i do not approve of their actions obviously before someone starts thinking that i am genocidal psycho, only in games XD
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
In terms of territorial expansion, Nazi Germany was simply doing what other European nations had been doing for centuries.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Thank you for sharing Nurem, Ill make damn sure to read it. I only skimmed through it now, I've been up since 02.30 and my focus is about bad as it can get.
Nuremgard
I suggest you read it when you're better rested. It's part of a series called the Long Read. As someone who is studying Middle Eastern conflicts, I found this article really interesting and timely.
Tschingtau
As someone with an interest in the Middle East, I can only concur.
Nuremgard
Man, if there was one conflict I could solve with a magic wand, it would be the Israeli-Palestine one.
Tschingtau
Sure would make a lot of problems go away, wouldnt it. Not just conflict itself but so many other stances and alliances based, partly or soledly, on one's opinion in said matter.
Nuremgard
I favour the two state solution but if that isn't an option, I'd want an inclusive Israel that would give Palestinians citizenship, equal rights and religious freedom. But that would require a major political and cultural shift in Israel away from ethnic Zionism.
Tschingtau
I dont really feel the need to reply, as you have just written, almost word-per-word, how I feel about it as well. I'd like to see more fierce pressure from the Western world upon Israel to adopt the two state solution. Sadly that's quite far away from the truth of things.
Nuremgard
With the move by Macron and other world governments to adopt the definition of antisemitism which includes criticism of Israel, the global community is going down the wrong path. I think someday in the future, historians will write of the Palestinian Holocaust in the same way historians have written about the Holocaust during the Second World War.
Israel's disgusting treatment of the Palestinians deserves international condemnation and boycott. But of course, if you dare to speak up for Palestinians, you're an antisemite. *eye roll*
