Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Perfectly explained. In the case of [nation=short]Djo[/nation] it is absolutistic, meaning the most capable in their fields have unlimited power over anybody else as long as they don't damage the future potential for development of the society as a whole. In short, nothing is sacred as long as there is progress.
Bring it on, Tserra. The older the better.

Fascinating, thats an intense social hierarchy you got there; May I ask how its dictated? What I mean is, how do you decide how "much better" one scientist is over another?

Hello Rainbow Space Cat Founder :)

Hello Peng :D
Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
How is our humble protector doing ?
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Percyton
Depends on the previous success/education/ability metrics etc. But mostly, you can't, so what usually happens is that for every "risky" decision you'll be judged by your peers. If a scientist considers himself top, and decides to do something which would be legal for a top scientist, but the rest of the scientific community disagrees, the state would consider the community as more capable of making the right decision and proceed to sanction the scientist. It has elements of a democracy, just a general democracy devided into many sections, so your actions are not sanctioned by a plain majority, as in a regular democracy, but by the opinion of your peers. A farmer cannot write laws for a physicist and a physicist cannot write laws for the farmer.
Andromitus
Lazily watching youtube videos while contemplating napping for the next 18 hours. At some point today I have to destroy a planet, but I might put that off for another year or so. Oh and I am gonna need a sacrifice to appease me, and sate my blood lust soon. Cat memes would be appropriate.
You?
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton

That sounds horribly inefficient. You have to wait until an entire scientific community (which, in a technocratic state, must be utterly massive) comes to an agreement against a decision. That could be years of just discussion, and then more time simply to just write the law that will replace the existing controversial decision.
Andromitus
Is husbando.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Not really, since there is no need to write most of the law. What is written is the general principles on which to base decisions, and in the eyes of the state each member of the nation has executive privileges to do whatever he believes is the right decision that follows said principles. If there is conflict, meaning no good results, or negative external effects, then it is solved by consensus. It's similar to how in the modern world, if a policeman arrests someone, bystanders believe that he did it because he is well informed about the law and thinks the person being arrested is breaking it. But let's say someone thinks the arrest is racially based, he reports him to a judge who decides if it was or not. This system means that everyone is a policeman with broad authority to protect the development of the nation, by doing what he knows and deferring what he doesn't to better experts.

I've tried to make communist nations before but because I'm so fickle, they never last long.

But the Norsk Government strongly recommends and encourages the Soviet government to democratise and allow political freedom.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Percyton
Back in my old region, the Eurasian Socialist Union, we have had elections. But after the assassination of the Former Premier Daniel Ivanovich Svanoski, the Equestrian State forbade elections for fear of public retaliation. ...... Hmm.... I guess, now that I'm in a new region, I'll convince the party officials to host elections. (The Premier position is NOT open)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
It's a good idea.
I have 2 other nations which are dictatorships. ;) And another democracy but it's very limited as only landowners can vote and run for office.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Percyton
Ah..Nice. Its going to be a VERY interesting election. Lots of heavily-armed soldiers and limited media. Needless to say, our nation's going to be different.

But really, what was so wrong with the original constitution that it warranted 2 proposed overhauls of it?
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
I would encourage everyone to vote for my proposal. It incorporates tried and tested methods from the original CFN with features that have been requested for literally years like the outlawing of retroactive laws and the enshrinement of a constabulary within the Constitution itself.
Yukona
Short answer: It was clunky and hard to apply
Oelesa
I might do a Civil War RP within the PLR with the outcome solidifying Chertkovo's push for African regional superpower or an eventual global power. Should I do this? It will be a bloody and long civil war.
Russkov Soviet
I encourage everyone here to vote for my Constitution proposal.
The New Constitution allows the Government and the People a great deal of flexibility in thr administration of our politics. Previous constitutions over the years have fallen victim to crises because of unnecessary regulations and dangerous brevity that have made them a nightmare to operate under when a specific issue of state needs to be addressed but can't because of a fault in the Constitution. The New Constitution is broad enough to allow freer range of implementation and interpretation by the honorable judiciary, but is specific enough as to prevent there being a gaping hole in the law of the region.
Furthermore, the New Constitution addresses concerns about the ejection of nations, roleplaying, the constabulary, and more, making it much more relevant to us than one based on the distant past.
A vote for my constitution is a vote for progress, modernization, and, ultimately, freedom.
Yo [nation=short]Vista Major[/nation],
In the upcoming election, Unf's constitution requires that three Justices be elected. Could you save me some skimming and let me know if your Constitution requires something similar?
If so, we'll need candidates for Justice(s).
Vista Major, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Ooh, a second Kongo Civil War (Magnatronia and Andromitus will probably be excited tor this one). You could make this the first one, canonically. Our new ruleset is being made.
Peoples Liberation Republic, Andromitus, Yukona, Magnatronia
I will do this RP once the new ruleset is made so then I can gage what is allowed and what isn't
Andromitus, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona, Magnatronia
Nvm, I skimmed anyways. It seems that Vista's constitution stipulates that the only elected Justice is a single Supreme Justice that is elected by the House rather than the citizens writ large in an election.
All the same, I withdraw my candidacy for Minister of Justice (which didn't seem to be registered anyways) and announce my candidacy for one of the Supreme Court Justice positions should Unf's constitution pass.
Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
So I'm MoJ now? I have no opponents :-/

Joss! Happy birthday, Joss! He's me and Thomas' favorite director. We actually contacted him many years ago, asking if he would be interested in directing a Thomas and Friends theatrical movie. He politely declined, but to make up for it, he convinced Peyton Reed (the director of Ant-Man) to include a Thomas reference in Ant-Man.

I took it once during the summer between sophomore and junior year, got a 1500, and never bothered to waste my time with taking it again.
Standardized testing is just horrible. As someone that is more partial to the social sciences as opposed to English and Math, the SAT did not represent my knowledge.
It's sort of like forcing an electrician to take the MCAT. Can you really blame them if they don't do well?

Post by Mauricil suppressed by a moderator.
I hear ya. I took it twice, and got about 1200 both times. I did great on the English and Writing portions, but I'm not a Math person, so I didn't do very well on the Math sections. I was worried my SAT score would hurt my college admission chances, but I still got accepted to my dream school, so I can't complain.
Friedensreich
Very good question. Rainbow Space Cat Founder Beerus dunno.
Vista Major, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Yeah, once I got accepted into IU, I stopped caring about my SAT score. Like I told my friend that was still in high school: your high school stuff stops mattering once you get accepted into your college.

The United Providences Of Perland
Assuming we're just talking about grades and stuff, I agree, but it varies. Most students feel pretty confident that their last term grades of high school (which come out after they're accepted to college) won't matter, but I college acceptance and scholarships could still be revoked, so the advice I've heard is to still maintain a 'C' or higher your last term. Plus, while I could have easily slacked off that last term, my work ethic wouldn't let me, so I still gave it my all until the last day.

Death, taxes, and regime change in PLR.
Idk man you always have regime change and political instability in your nation. Why not try something different this time around? Maybe instead of your country always being the place for civil war, why not make it happen in other countries? Now that's how you will make yourself a powerful nation! If you make civil war in your own country, your civil war will just serve as a proxy war between other more powerful nations.
If you wanna continue the trend of political instability in your nation, well it's your nation so your choice. But I'd strongly recommend against yet another regime change and civil war in the Peoples Liberation Republic if you actually do want to see your nation prosper and become influential around the world. Create war overseas, not at home.
If someone can give me examples of politically unstable nations somehow being able to make a mark on the world (instead of outsiders creating a mark in their country) while their nation is constantly falling apart, I'll give you a cookie.
Mauricil
United States. Has had deep Social and political divisions and partisan gridlock for decades, but somehow still runs NATO and screws up the balance of power in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
Now gimme my damned white chocolate macadamia nut cookie.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Tserra
White chocolate cookie with cranberries please.
Jaslandia, Friedensreich
That sounds heavenly, and I don't mean that in an ironic way at all. I love cranberries.
Back when I was in the dorm earlier this year, my friend had a bottle of 100% cranberry juice with no sugar in it or anything. She gave it to me and I drank the whole bottle that night.
Yeah, but the thing is, those divisions and gridlock are fairly well maintained. There is law and order in the United States. You don't see revolutionaries roaming the streets killing each other. Those divisions and gridlock you're talking about don't have much influence on how the nation is running. They don't matter too much to prevent the nation from functioning properly.
There is no violent revolutionary civil war plaguing the United States. No one is going up in arms to topple the existing system. There is no legitimate challenge to the existing system, so thus the system is able to operate properly. If there was basically anarchy in the streets, then yes the United States wouldn't be able to be a menace to the rest of the world as it would have to focus on its own issues first. But there is no power vacuum anywhere in the nation. We have law and order all across the United States, so thus the United States can exert influence on the rest of the world.
Yukona
So yes Fried or anyone find a better example (if you somehow can find an example of a power vacuum plagued lawless land somehow still maintaining the ability to exert much if any influence outside itself) and you'll get your damn cookie.
I mean, you asked for a politically unstable country, and the US is the definition of political instability.
Now, if you wanted countries that were in civil war, I take your challenge and raise you one Thailand. Maybe even the Philippines if you consider the anti-drug death squads to be a sign of political instability.
Oh, and Chinaland. Technically they're still in a Civil War between the communists and nationalists because no lasting peace agreement was signed.
