Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
I hate to remind you of old posts but I believe we simply misunderstand each other.
I was not referring simply as it being on it's own, but with plate's underneath it that it's bound to.
This is why I refer to it having items above it, and below it when I actually describe it as armour on a vehicle.

It looks like I'm the most pro-market in the CoFN? I'll gladly take that. The market has been making me rich, so of course I'm for it!

I'm trying to be, you set up public health care and all of a sudden it's like a command economy in here
Lavan Tiri, Varrick The Rich Guy, Penguania And Antarctica, Woogieboogie
Then don't set up public health care! The rich can pay for healthcare, and the poor... I'm sure they'll figure something out.

That's one sexy agenda right there.

That moment when you have the biggest mandate in confirmation from the House, but also lost an election to get there.
#HalfNHalf
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Sully voted abstain on himself. He would have a full one as well
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Sul always abstains. Look like the #OldGuys on your Cabinet got considerable support from the House.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
People need to stop abstaining.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, abstaining when it's your nomination makes sense. When most chambers are nominating their Speaker or other officers, the nominee themselves don't usually get a vote. And if someone was being nominated as a US secretary who is a sitting Senator, I doubt they'd vote during their own confirmation.
But more than half of the voted casts being abstentions is strange, I agree.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
A lot of the abstentions were because what we were voting on was unclear and ultimately the amount of endless debate going nowhere didn't really help
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I abstain.

Cont, you are more pro free market than my free market dictatorship. This cannot stand.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I am implementing a personal policy. This does not affect the Judiciary as a whole, but only myself. No longer will I be creating, or voting upon bills/amendments unless it is something that directly affects the Judiciary, or would be something I need to do my job. I will of course still comment on bills if they are unconstitutional.

Alternatively, it was because people didn't feel enough to vote no or yes.

lavan why did you forsake that post-apocalypse RP
I had great plans
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
Actually, ICly, the people of the Madagascar Province and the Carribos Province are glad for the protection and prosperity Lavani rule brings, as well as having every right people in the homeland do. They are, after all, citizens.

The United Providences Of Perland, is Aetosia a citizen. I didn't see his name on the roster, but he's been with us since the MSRM and has WA
Lavan Tiri
https://www.nationstates.net/
It appears not. I just transferred over the list from Lat, so either he messed up or Aetosia never filed an application.
Lavan Tiri
That's unfortunate. I'll have to revoke his map title.
To All: I'm trying to work on the map, but midterms are here and my computers wifis been acting up. But Christmas break is soon, so not to fret; big updates coming soon.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, The United Providences Of Perland
I don;t mind that. It's when more people abstain than vote yes or no that irritates the holy sh!t out of me.
Lavan Tiri
Apparently I neglected this puppet, and had to refound it. For those who do not know, this is a puppet of Tserra. I use it for official unofficial Judicial assassinations.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I can confirm.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Percy isn't a citizen and has a map spot, so why can't Aet have a map spot?
Lavan Tiri, Yukona, Percyton
Oh yes. They're so oppressed, what with the egalitarian social policies, low taxes, affordable healthcare--which is free for those who cannot pay their medical bills, might I add, and their equal rights to vote and that terrible, terrible free--and compulsory!--education.
Percy doesn't have one either, Jas. That's more because I'm not able to draw his lands, but now that you point it out...
The other thing with Percy though is that his lands aren't really contested and he's active. Aet's lands are wanted by Aq (I believe) and he hasn't posted since forever.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Tserra, Percyton
I find that to be very reasonable.
Lavan Tiri, Percyton
I sent Aet a TG requesting him to sign up for citizenship, but I can't keep him on there if he doesn't. And don't worry, I know 4 and 32 are to be removed. Many changes are on my computer, which I don't have at the moment.
Lavan Tiri, The United Providences Of Perland
Fair enough. I'll leave it up to you whether Percy will get a map spot or not. I said Percy had one because I saw that adding the Island of Sodor is still on your to-do list for the map.
Lavan Tiri, Percyton
I understand
PS: If anyone could draw Sodor in our map style, that'd be really appreciated. Like, I'll recognize you on the map page appreciated.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Percyton
Whatever you decide to do with me on the map I'd be fine with. I would like to have a small spot for RP purposes, but I also know I'm not a citizen, so I might not have the right to a spot.
I'm not much of an artist (it's hard to draw when you have wheels instead of hands), and neither are my driver or fireman, but for anyone else who wants to draw a map of Sodor, here's what it looks like: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Maps-sodor-railways-amoswolfe.svg/842px-Maps-sodor-railways-amoswolfe.svg.png
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, The United Providences Of Perland
I totally would, like I did for that medieval RP of Unfs. The problem is, the kind of maps I make are almost exclusively in the overland style as the map I made for Unf. I have tried my hand at the official cfn map style, with montaris's island map being the chief example, and I cannot do it in such a way as it would look nice.
Lavan Tiri
Why thank you. I made it myself
So is there anything I can do around here to be useful?
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
Apply for citizenship and join discord (both found in the WFE) then go from there
Lavan Tiri, The Peoples Republic Of Terra, Penguania And Antarctica
I can work out those other parts to make it blend with the map. I just can't draw it myself.
