BREAKING NEWS

The Empress has just heard from Unfallion ambassadors that Aldwood has seceded from the USCS. She is deeply saddened at this move and invites former Premier Anatoly Cherdenko Romanov and other heads of states of other USCS and NNP members to Minnesota Dakota, even though they haven't seen eye to eye, to attend a diplomatic dinner to discuss the shift in the balance of power. The dinner will take place in Chicago. All flights from Minnesota to Aldwood have be grounded. The Aldwoodist embassy in Naboo will be vacated for the time being. The Minnesotan Merchant Fleet near Sulania will remain and a few Minnesotan ships will return to escort the ships to Sulanian ports. Catherine Poklonskaya is also invited to the dinner. With Aldwood leaving the USCS the Socialist Empire of Minnesota Dakota is rattled but not distracted.

In other news, all USCS and NNP citizens now no longer have to go through security in airports.

As far as I know, you'll want to first become a citizen

Here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773389

Then you can participate in regional RP's and call of a map claim

Here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=686028

However, you can send in both applications at the same time

Baxten wrote:Maybe I could have a dice roll and add/subtract weights on there. We could do it like RISK, where the attackers have 3 dice and the defenders have two, with the highest dice being compared to each other. The defender's would win ties. Weights would be decided with terrain, intel (which would be decided by a simple dice roll) and size of attacking force vs defending (so say the attackers have 5000 more troops, they get 1 more weight. Different numbers would apply to different weapons, like tanks, warship support, etc.) It's still simple and doesn't take into account technology or partial casualties, but we have time to get the kinks out.

I agree wholeheartedly in regards to using dice, or random integers. However I also think strategy and tactics should come into play. For example. Say I was fighting a defensive war, and did something IC that was novel, and had the potential to be devatating for the attackers, one of our RP mods could decide whether or not that would be a buff.

I saw it, didn't like it as much though.

I think it has to do with how proactive Samurai Jack is by plot. He spends his every waking moment seeking to defeat Aku, and to that end he traverses around instead of waiting and letting Aku ping people off of him.

He doesn't give up, or let Aku make him kill or ruin people to get what he wants, he just goes to do his duty, and hopefully, each week that's enough...even as everything started unraveling for certain characters later on like that robot mobster with a dog named Lulu.

I dunno, something about Samurai Jack made it much better to me.

*^March of the Cosmonauts

Ive spent too many Hours and What not Making this a FT nation . Yuktobania On the Other hand is compleatly new and Made for MT .

I do like it here, lots of my friends are here, this was the First Region where i actually came out fully and i kinda have a middle eastern arab Worm in me so i do kinda wanna do that still.

So Please still TG me on the Russian Federation and Still Mention me [nation=short]Russian_Fedration[/nation] it would be best that way. i Plan on Checking Yuktobania as much as i check the Federation (For those who dont know , thats alot ) so ill be sticking around , With my puppet , But i miss my Massive GDP and my Millions of Troops Supported by the Best Walkers and Space Craft Money can buy !

Why....why did you flood your whole factbook with older, incapable, warships?

The new national highway opens up for the public connecting Anthetal and Kingsfall. It was named after the Oeleasan King "Jakob Streicher".

Constidor was a guy who entered the Commonwealth of Free Nations and was an immediate bigot on the topic of gay people. After a number of confrontations with Nurem and the rest of this old crew, he was banned before being allowed to reenter for a short time. Having been a person who spoke too him afterwards very intermittently, he apparently chilled it after a while.

Why?

Here's what he said.

My son, I have found you! I knew I could find a successor, one who is just as idiotic and homophobic as I was. Thus, I hereby declare you the successor for Constidor! Now, you might be a bit lost lost at this amazing announcement, but don't worry, as I have a few things to give you! You can take my closet, pink dildo (no homo), and my assistant, Mice Pence, who will teach you the art of zapping teh gay away! Live on and flounder! That's the Constidorian way!

What? No way dude. That's cringey to ask someone to *dedicate* time to NS. It's a game, so play it as much as you want!

I don't think you understand the question. Fro example, in a different region I have RP'd in, 12 RL weeks was the equivalent to on RP year.
