Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
I am a b!tch when I am bored.
Nuremgard, Cesorion
Was just combing through your factbooks. Lord First Minster is a cool title. And I like the symbol of the lion for the government. Also love your choice of picture for Wellington Jones. ;)
Jaslandia, Percyton
No problem, i got used to it already, and yes i am 20 years old, buuuuuuut i dont probably write the most maturely as you could say (or at least this is what i think you point at)
Hey Peng! I'm good. How are you?
Percyton
Wait a minute. Other people have made the same complaint that I have made?
yep
I want to know more. Who have made the same complaints that I have made?
Few people, not from NS and i dont remember their names since some of them played with me just 1 round, or gave up on the game we were playing.
Also just a good tip, my memory is really bad when it comes to something i dont see as important. (i do forget a lot of things in other words)
Thanks ;)! The lion is here https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Logo_of_the_Prime_Minister_of_Finland.svg/184px-Logo_of_the_Prime_Minister_of_Finland.svg.png
And the title combines First Minister and Lord President
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
Does Cesorion have a monarchy?
Percyton
It does, but it has little-to-none actual power.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
Oh, I'm doing alright. Not much to report on my end. Pretty lame day. :)
Jaslandia, Percyton, Cesorion, Spanelsko
On a random note, I just noticed that you have a pretty detailed flag. It looks like the flag of a fascist Canada.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Cesorion
Well good night guys.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Same with Nuremgard.
Jaslandia, Cesorion
Thinking about it, Constidor needs some history tied to it. Do any of you have any good ideas I can use?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
What's the general culture/geography?
Jaslandia, Percyton
Jaslandia's monarch is somewhere between a figurehead and an absolute monarch. You can think of the powers of Jaslandia's monarch as being similar to the powers of a President in a presidential government system (i.e. USA).
Nuremgard, Percyton
Regarding the nation's geography, I am thinking about having the nation's arable land being surrounded by a body or multiple bodies of water, with the nation generally having mild summers and cold winters.
The nation's culture should probably be inspired by Assyrian culture in RL with some Eastern European influence. And these are just some basic ideas I have in my head. I will probably think up of more as time goes on.
Nuremgard, Percyton
At least Jaslandia is stable and democratic. And the monarch is obviously popular. I always imagined Jaslandia to be like pre-Glorious Revolution Britain, i.e. monarch and parliament sometimes at loggerheads.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Constidor doesn't have a monarch or any central leadership. It is a confederation of different communities that come together as one on the nation's foreign policy.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton, Cesorion
You could have once been the territory of a great power before fighting for independence?
I will be thinking about that.
Nuremgard
Nuremgard was once a great imperial power.
Just sayin' ;)
You can rest assured that I am not a Fascist. But the flag design looks like indeed. I just selected it because it was appealing, like most Socialist/Communist Flags are, for example East Germany
Nuremgard
I don't want Constidor's history to be tied in any way to the rest of the CFN.
I never said that you were a fascist.
New Salvatore: Nothing wrong with being fascist.
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
That would make him/her powerful, right? At least more than mine. I have checked your FBs, and if I recollect,he makes appointments based only on personal criteria.
I know. But if I did not clarify it there and then, someone would. (There is nothing to read between the lines, I am not making a hiden mention to anyone in specific) Nice flag by the way
You have a nation for every ideology, right?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
Not every ideology. I currently have 3. Nuremgard is my liberal democracy, Tangshan is my military dictatorship and New Salvatore is my fascist nation.
Jaslandia, Percyton, Spanelsko
Should try it myself.
Nuremgard
It's fun. New Salvatore is ruled by what I colloquially call social contract fascism.
Spanelsko
Explain, please?
Nuremgard
The people of the nation voluntarily give up some civil liberties (such as the right to privacy, to have the state interfere in their lives for their own good) and give up political freedom (the right to free speech, the right to protest, the right to elect a different government.) They also perform civic duties like voting in a compulsory election every 5 years to return the People's Fascist Party to power to give the regime legitimacy. Other civic duties include paying taxes, completing military service, obeying the law etc.
In exchange, the state looks after them by providing stellar public services, gives them security and ensures class collaboration between them and corporations. This give-and-take ideology is summed up in their national motto: serve the state and the state will serve you.
The Caudillo (leader) is unofficially and affectionately referred to as Padre (father) by his people because he protects them, provides for them and punishes them when needed.
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Interesting. Anyway, bedtime here, so goodnight guys!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Goodnight, bud.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Cesorion
My crime rate is insane
Nuremgard, Spanelsko
Should I leave my military factbooks like they are now or combine them all into one factbook?
Nuremgard, Percyton
Leave them as they are. I personally find them easier to read if they are separated into sections. Having one big huge factbook with a massive chunk of text would look cumbersome and be difficult to read imo.
Jaslandia, Percyton, The Wyoming Peoples Front, Confederal States
Get your citizens under control!
Jaslandia
I like your new flag by the way. I recently made my own Confederacy state but I am letting it CTE due to being bored with it.
Jaslandia, Percyton, Confederal States
I'm too busy dealing with Godless slave trading potato plantation owners from Idaho, Black market drug dealing militant biker gangs and Mormon cannibals....
The average Wyomingite needs to learn to take care of themselves. WPF rangers can't be everywhere.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
This should be your national anthem.

We don't have such crime problems in any of my nations...
Thanks! I can never keep a flag for more than a week because I get tired of it, but I actually like this one a lot.
Lmao, totally.
Nuremgard
I've had the same flag for Nuremgard for years.
Does the Confederacy have slavery?
Spanelsko
Sounds boring.
Nuremgard, Spanelsko
Sometimes, yes, but the monarchy and the Parliament have a pretty good relationship at the moment: Prince Regent Jason is mostly in agreement with the ruling Conservative Party, so he gets along well with them. Even if the Opposition party the Liberals come to power, Prince Jason is a pragmatist above all else, so he can easily work with the Liberals.
He often does, yes, but Prince Jason does take into account the wishes of the Parliament and the Prime Minister to ensure that the Cabinet can work well together.
Nuremgard, Percyton
Well Tangshan doesn't have any crime because of how brutally oppressive it is. I wouldn't say that's boring.
Spanelsko
The Norsk monarchy is totally ceremonial. The only real powers the Tsar has are emergency/reserve powers which would only be exercised in a dire crisis and if the PM was somehow unavailable to use them.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Ah. So basically like the current British monarchy?
Nuremgard, Percyton
Basically. The ironic thing is the monarchy is so beloved in Nuremgard because it is seen as the defender of democracy. It was Tsar Peter the Patriot that led the fight against the communists during the first half of the 20th century. When he won, he implemented sweeping social and political reforms, including making the monarchy completely constitutional.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Actually, no. When I first came to this region I was going for a Confederacy-type of nation, but I've since wanted to become a little more like the US.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Also, is anyone else having difficulty posting on the RMB?
I'm pretty good, Peng. Making good time with my mail run tonight; at this rate, I might be setting a new personal record for fastest mail delivery.
Goodnight, Span!
Goodnight, Ces!
Lucky! I wish the Percytonian monarchy had that kinda prestige and symbolism. While we've had some good monarchs (and a few bad ones too), we can never get to the level of a monarchy like Nuremgard or Jaslandia because the Percytonian monarchy is an elected one, so it's seen as a political position like a President. I explained it in my Politics factbook.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=percyton/detail=factbook/id=710460
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Cesorion
Ah fair enough. Countries evolve.
Although many Norsk monarchs through history were horrible. Little more than military dictators. The powerlessness of the monarchy helps its popularity. But there are traditionalists among the mainstream Conservative Party of Nuremgard who have openly said some influence over politics from the monarchy would be a good thing. Archduke Alexander, the Tsar's brother, is this kind of Conservative.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Interesting. The popularity of Jaslandia's monarchy (or, to be more specific, the monarchy's current dynasty) comes from its leading role in the reunification of Jaslandia. And since Jaslandia was reunified only 4 years ago, that's still fresh in people's minds.
Nuremgard, Percyton
That makes sense. Has there been many changes of dynasty in Jaslandian history?
Jaslandia, Percyton
Interesting. In theory, Percyton's monarch (me) is pretty powerful and is the chief decision-maker of the nation. In practice, I get a lot of help from my Chief Adviser Gordon and my Prime Minister Sir Topham Hatt. What usually happens is I'll lay out a general policy based on what I would like to be done, and then Gordon and Sir Topham Hatt will work together to flesh out the details and make a few modifications to my policy if necessary. This more detailed policy is then sent to the Parliament, which votes to either reject it or pass it into law (although the policies are almost always passed into law, since it has the support of their Prime Minister and the PM has already made sure the policy is acceptable to Parliament).
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
This is the kind of influence Alexander wants the monarchy to have. He wants it to be an active policymaker and be able to have a power of veto.
Percyton, Spanelsko
There's been some changes in dynasties, as you would expect from a nation as old as Jaslandia, but for the most part, Jaslandia's dynasties are relatively long-lasting. The current dynasty is called the House of Falu (also called House of Borches), and has been the ruling dynasty since the reunification in 2013.
Nuremgard, Percyton
The House of Vasiliev has reigned over Nuremgard since the nation was united and formed in the 1400s. Before that, they ruled the most powerful kingdom in the west called Petrova, which is now a state of Nuremgard.
Jaslandia, Percyton, Confederal States
Well, I wouldn't call my influence 'active': I don't issue policy for every little thing, and Parliament can and often does pass legislation without my input (especially for more detailed stuff like taxes, or more minor stuff like naming post offices). And while I do have veto power, I almost never use it: Parliament generally puts out good legislation, so I see no reason to object.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Alexander is an old school one nation Conservative. Believes society is naturally hierarchical and that the rich, especially the nobility, have an obligation to the poor, noblesse oblige. He is a very proud, imperious person who is mindful of his station. This has led many to perceive him as cold and arrogant (which he is to a certain extent) but it's more because he has such a paternalistic, traditionalist view of society. It's odd to see such an attitude in somebody young, particularly in the modern era. But that's just who he is, and he is widely respected by the people, by the court and by his family.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Pretty long-lasting dynasty. Though I haven't named it yet, the Jaslandian dynasty before the Civil War period was also pretty long-lasting, ruling from around the 1400s, until the start of the Civil War and the separation of Jaslandia in 1859.
Nuremgard
Goodnight friends. <3
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Axeldonia, Percyton
New Salvatore is a de facto monarchy. The Salvatore family established the nation, named it after themselves and have passed power from father to son for generations. They and the People's Fascist Party rule, and there is typically a personality cult around the leader as I explained in a post earlier.
Jaslandia
Goodnight, buddy.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Goodnight, Peng!
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Oh. I'm nothing like that. Gordon kinda is, and he has a similar attitude about the monarchy, but he doesn't really do anything about it now. Probably because that's the kind of attitude that got him voted out as King in 2016.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Goodnight, Peng!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
It's a lovely thing to wish everyone joy.

TOP 5% most conservative, but only in the first 10% for most extreme, how?!
Jaslandia
Bah, humbug, bellows Bongani Zaius, a sour man representing one of the rogue logging companies, draped in a robe of many colors. That Western Whatever Park is so far away that no one even goes there anyway, except for those weirdo hikeaholics. Our great and glorious Dictatorship would be best served by burning that old world in the fires of industry. Auction them all off to the highest bidder, foreign or domestic! Forests will fall and Spanelsko will make profits youve never dreamed of. Just imagine it.
In other words lets purge all nature in our nature!
Also i got the sole survivor banner for this, well it creates better collection since i already have exodus and abandoned.

Kim Caesar, a 15-year-old immigrant residing in the city of Spanelsko City, was murdered recently. The unusual circumstance here is that her killer was her own father, who had executed her in an Honor Killing, for sharing a kiss with a Spanelskoan boy. The father has now been arrested, but he is showing no remorse.
A true hero of the revolution...... give this man a medal!
Am I missing something obvious here? asks loutish thug Ganondorf Walker, missing something obvious. Seems to me that the girl dishonored her father, and so her father killed her for the sake of his family name. I mean, why are we saying thats a bad thing? How could anyone call that a bad thing?
I agree my friend.

Clearly, the easiest solution is to execute people once they receive a guilty verdict! chimes in horror movie aficionado Pedro Popov. Going to the courtroom would be so much more fun if you got to watch people die! Dont tell me you wouldnt go see a trial if that was the case. Oh, and it would probably save money or something.
The Talking Point
Court TV ratings have skyrocketed now that executions are filmed on location.
I have the best issues in these past few days. Thank you NS!

Hows everyone doing?

I have decided to come back and this time, it is going to be a glorious time.

Welcome back, dude!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
thank you. thank you very much. It is good to be back and I am promising everyone that I am not going to be on my former shenanigans. I have greatly matured...and all that boring stuff so basically, I am not going to be causing meaningless trouble. I am here to RP and to have fun and to make good friends.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Would it be possible for me to reclaim my Congolese Empire that I have worked so tirelessly on creating? <3

Missed you! Welcome back!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
How's you today, Ces?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
"my rebellious attitudes and what not against Concord" and things of that nature. Quite honestly, I am getting too old for the "young, rebellious" mentality I once had years ago. Time to be wise and mellow but also strategic and tactical in my approach with the international community.
Missed you too!!! <3
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Fine. You?

Just do what my nation New Salvatore does: maintain an isolationist foreign policy.
