Probably safer not to upgrade, Maglev is more fragile if anything.

But Uncle Luke, I'm your father, look!
Yukona
yes, but maglev trains are far more faster and smoother than ordinary ones, and having most of your population not be able to move bc someone screwed up the railroad ties would be even worse.

Ah, good. I woke up this morning profoundly worried that the patriarchy didn't have enough advocates.
God (who is definitely a man) bless Aldaur. God bless him all day long.

I applied. It looks if I'm approved that we will likely be against each other so this will be fun indeed.
Oelesa
Your military factbook isn't very miltary-ey, which is an issue. Other than that you should be good.
I suppose I could create one for the sole purpose of this RP.
If you could, that's be great. It's just so that everyone takes the time to establish the sorta stuff they'll be using now so we don't run into problems with tech and stuff down the line that'll be a disruption.
Guys, I did a thing:

Well, the same exact thing would happen should they mess up the actual rail system, and as for the point on them being faster...I guess? That has no bearing on them being fragile in the context of war.

I brought your idea up to Toby, my Minister of Transportation. He says he'll consider it, but it isn't likely to be enacted: Toby said that even if steam engines could run on Maglev tracks, not only would it be very expensive to replace Percyton's expansive railway infrastructure with Maglev, but neither the engines nor the railway stuff know how to run Maglev, which would be a problem.

You know guys, we fight a lot, but at least we aren't /R/Socialism right now.
Can we all take a moment to reflect on the beauty of that?
They're fighting over the bourgeois/misogynistic elements in catgirl comics.
It's the greatest political drama I've ever seen :')
Why? Triggering others is fun :p
You can try, but you're not man enough to pound me ;)

Friday the 13th is a reminder of how the good and holy Knights Templar fell short on luck when the bastard King Phillip IV killed them all because he didn't want to pay his debts to them. May that glorious orders RIP and may it rise again in the future to protect Christendom.

People in this region have such abnormally large military forces. I believe I may be one of the few to maintain a small non-interventionist non-first use force not exceeding 50,000 active service personnel.
Right?! I too was like- I must be misinterpreting this.

It certainly helps explain why some of them have 80% income tax and whatnot, at least.

I'm glad to see that the Latrovian administration followed the people's will, and has cancelled the actual closing of our embassy with Genuan Rebirth.
Sorry for the triple post.
Jaslandia, Baxten, Yukona
Despite the fact that Minister Oelesa's decission to close embassies with the GR is a correct one, I feel like it is importand that our new policies not affect the people and the regions we've shared the same culture and history for years.
I am completely aware that, our future partners like to check the people we work with. And sometimes indeed they will not be satisfied of the people we choose to keep close to us. But the CFN is not a region of cowards and the CFN is not made of people who shut their eyes towards their friends.
Also the CFN is our homeland and we are it's people. We are in desperate need to reach unity. And for the sake of our regional unity I am willing to leave behind me any actual progress that we strive to achieve.
After a lengthfull (no idea if that is even an actual word) conversation with Oelesa, I informed him of my intentions to change his given order, apologising to him as well. I am happy to say that he agreed with my decission to cancel the closure of Embassies with the GR.
Long live the CFN and the GR.
Yours truly,
The President.

I think I'll still keep my motion in the House of Delegates, and still encourage people to vote on it, given the last point about consultations in the future.
I also carry an aneros with me: I don't use it, but I pull it out of my backpack and threaten to put it into anyone trying to fµck me over :p
I know. I made forced conscription in my nation months ago, and I have just over a million
Everyone should look at the Global Firepower charts. Look at the nation that you're based on. Use something similar to those numbers.
Yukona
This is literally the funniest thing I've read on this site.
Jaslandia, Pirate Kingdoms
Closing that embassy with GR really was going to be a huge step for progress. I'm so sorry the evil people of this region stopped you from making such huge progress in advancing this region to greatness.
80%?
98% GET ON MY LEVEL SON
Jaslandia, Baxten, Continental Commonwealths, Andromitus, Kalaron
It would be a step of progress. As we actually set our FA into function. Nevertheless I welcome your opinion. I respect it, but I do not agree with it.
Abandon your friendships in the name of progress!
Does FA have so little to do that they need to close down GR's embassies, though?
Like, if they need to go to work, then we can start by gathering more Regions for us to have embassies with, rather than cutting off an embassy that takes no effort to maintain.
Well look on the bright side you'll have no cost push inflation
Well the FA has actually started doing it's job about two days ago, along with the Ministry of Justice. As you all know that those Ministries have both being vacant and the delay of approving our new Ministers there has really post-poned it's work.
In my opinion, I personally like that if any actual progress is to be made, to start from it's basis. And that is by what we already have. To start with it, our government was never going to stop it's relations with the GR. Actually we have no actual governmental relations with any of the regions we have an embassy with.
GR's status would be altered from an Embassy to a Consulate. And that is all. We do not want to stop relations, we just want to set a good basis of we will be working a lot and with who we will be working less. That's all. :)
Ohhhh. Basis. :)
Except a Consulate can't post through the RMB onto our Region, meaning that Al would have to zip here and back each time if he wanted to post, which is both dangerous and time consuming.
It seems like there are far more important issues -if you call GR an issue- for FA to handle, and I am excited to see how they do handle them.
ALSOOOOOO:
A consulate application has been sent by us to New Hyperion. We have been in contact with them for several days and we had a really positive interaction with their representatives. We will be discussing soon the possibillity of opening in-game embassies as well. :)
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Just because we have those lands though doesn't mean we would at all be like the nations that reside in them now. Bax, you're one of the most powerful militaries, but the Benelux countries are a joke in rl. Our nations are completely different, with different histories, cultures, policies, etc. Basing it off that chart makes no sense.
Confederacy Of Free Nations
I have become noticeably more conservative, as most of you agree. I need a brave liberal to telegram me and liberalize me so I can be moderate again. Please, be a smart liberal that can counter my arguments. Ik there aren't very many out there ;)
Humpheria Major
I could never call GR an issue. And yes they would have to contact us through our Discord Channel or their Embassy in our forums.
Every region now days operates through their embassies and consulates that exist in their partners forums.
So as we are expected to reach out to our partners via our consulates and embassies in their forums, I think that we should expect the same by our partners as well.
If logic won't work, there's always... http://bbsimg.ngfiles.com/1/7089000/ngbbs43814f6b88b2c.jpg
Aldaur, Magnatronia
Also do you guys think that having a regional Twitter or Facebook account would be a cool thing to have around. As a way to reach out to the masses and possibly attract new citizens?
Maybe? I don't know, I don't use Facebook or Twitter.
Oelesa
Well many regions use Twitter and thats where they get most of their new citizens, of course they have a good team that posts quite a lot.
Oelesa
But it provides a basis for population and such. The main this is that people need to limit themselves. Vista has 1.5 million people, for God' sake. It's your choice, ?but please limit yourselves.
Aldaur
Let's hope you don't become disabled and a "burden" on society then. If you do, I expect you will end your life to save the taxpayer money.
Aldaur
Be whatever the f**k you want my dude, too many liberals out here that get hurt too easily anyway. In all honesty, fascism gets such a bad rep - I by no means like it but it makes me cringe every time the left uses it as a by-word for stuff they don't like
Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland
Only logic works.
As long as it is a recommended guide and not forced, I'm cool with it. Aldaur, for example, would have a much higher population than Australia because because we would have been there from the beginning rather than being a colonized country.
I believe we should stick with NS for now. We, as a region, can find smaller regions to integrate. If we go outside of NS we may not find as many new citizens.

If I was mentally disabled, yea just toss me. If I am only physically disabled, I am still quite valuable for other reasons.
True, but I also like hearing other people's opinions. I've been hanging out with conservatives a lot lately, so I'd like to balance myself so I don't become too radical.
Yukona
What is happening with the GR embassy?
The United Providences Of Perland
It's not closing! :)
Oelesa, Minnesota Dakota, The United Providences Of Perland
Closing was cancelled after everyone mentioned how it was a horrid idea, thankfully.
GG.
"I'm worth a lot to society, so you can't throw me away but anyone else is fair game"
The Pacifics frighten me for a few reasons, but this should be good.
Oelesa
I already said that people are worth more for different things. I wouldn't throw away Stephen Hawking even though he is disabled. He is worth more because of his mind. Also, we are just killing these people off, we are just making a choice between people of varying worth. If there is someone who is smart and able and I am smart but disabled, by all means, take them instead of me. I am worth less.
It was decided not to be closed after I had quite a conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. :)
Oelesa, Minnesota Dakota
I think people enjoy the certain degree of anonymity that NS provides.
I mean, can you imagine if there was access to people's personal facebook or twitter accounts when Valt was around? He'd probably message my Mom when I stopped responding to him.
Oelesa, Humpheria Major, Yukona
When is next election?
Aldaur, Oelesa
I believe it's in a few months
Aldaur, Minnesota Dakota
Well if we would actually open a Twitter Account, it would have our region's name on it, not any of our citizens name. So I am not sure if we are speaking about the same thing. :P
And it would be followed by nothing but bots, it seems.
