I live in Tampa, but that's pretty far from Miami.
Sounds like the Communist Manifesto went through Google Translate
Oi! What did you say about British informal speech, you wanker? I'll punch your blimey out, I swear on me mum!

I need to counter that criticism. Uh, believe me, you haven't talked to yourself enough.
Mercunova
Believe me, I have, enough and too much.

So I just had some delicious canned food. Filet of Clupea harengus with a sauce made of Solanum lycopersicum :)

Wow, we have an intellectual here.

Statement by the Chancellor
Fellow Citizens,
I would like to inform the region, for the sake of practicality, that I currently intend this to be my final consecutive term as Chancellor, and I do not intend to run for this office, in its current form, in the September election.
If reform of regional government is enacted I will consider running for office again under that new system. It is, however, otherwise unlikely.
Thank you.
☿ Merc
Chancellor
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Ohhhh yes.
Penguania And Antarctica
200% sure hes reacting to Evers return.
Unfallious, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
What's wrong with Evers? Did he burn this region to the ground three years ago or something?
Mercunova
Nope. His administration was pretty stable, probably one of the most in fact.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Mercunova
Evers is awesome, and I treat his returns with a combination of happiness and sadness because theyre inevitably followed by frequent and long hiatuses.
For Unfs qualms with the guy, youd have to ask him.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Mercunova
Unf probably doesn't like Evers because Evers is a filthy Tory who should be purged by Comrade Corbyn once he comes to power after May's government inevitably falls.
Mercunova
WIP, would definitely like help from anyone interested: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=sulania/detail=factbook/id=1058976

If memory serves... Shortly after I joined NationStates and moved to the CFN, you posted an audio clip of you speaking with a distinct Eastern European accent.
I am less confused by the existential crisis that led to that decision than I am by the one where you arrived at describing yourself as an anarcho-syndicalist.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona
I don't help parties.
Yukona

Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona, Gualimole
No its not, its a manner of respect to monarchs that has existed for an extremely long time. It doesnt have to be giving her authority and dominion to her, your not her subject. Of course you can chose not to, but bowing doesnt have to be about that. If a politician or anyone else, including myself, met a foreign king I would be inclined to bow out of respect.
Why? You wouldn't bow to a president. Royalty is a man-made construct. It doesn't actually exist in a tangible way.
Mercunova, Gualimole
Of course, you don't attend parties. For all you know, some sh!tfaced guy could come and make some bird meat out of you.
Mercunova
I wouldn't.
Aren't we all technically man-made and woman-made?
I don't recognize her as having any innate authority than anyone else. I don't bow to a President either.
And that's fine for you, not me.
Nuremgard, Mercunova, Yukona
That's not the point. Royal blood does not possess unique qualities. It's like religion. Made up by humans and only real because humans think it's real.
Mercunova
A lot of things happened CC. A lot of reading happened.
Edit: And I became religious, that has also influenced it.

Presided over a corrupt administration who removed political opponents via manipulation of the court system, to be precise.
Blyat... I had to become the most corrupt in CoFN, but it was worth it. The Equestrian Red Army (ERA) benefitted greatly from this, as Defense Forces are now up to 16th (from 41st), Arms Manufacturing is 24th (from 72nd), and Foreign Aid is 25th (from 38th). I don't like treating my beloved Russia like this, but the people had agreed (of their own volition) that the ERA must be stronger!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
You might be corrupt but you cant argue with those analysis numbers! Corruption means you can enjoy nice things. :)
Russkov Soviet
Wew.
Yukona
Considering the massive jump I made from May? Gimme dat money! xD
Nuremgard
Early late stage CFN was a crazy time. Luckily Everest has a habit of not staying active.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Be careful. This is NS. One decision could wreck you. Trust me, I know the feeling.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
Why do you think people generally hold a positive view of Evers?
Because the region just so happened to be in a really good place while he was occupying the Chancellor position in an inactive state. The people who worked under him and commited acts of corruption and manipulation were also well-known members of the region who people view positively to this day.
Russkov Soviet
Like me, Unf-Wunfy?
Wow, did I really bring up a debate with the whole statistics thing on corruption here? I saw over 250 replies earlier.
Maybe I can make it higher without becoming a hardcore leftist hippie state.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
I dunno did we repeal that dumb thing i can't remember the name of that meant bills had to wait a week so some delegates could advise on them under you? Because if we did I'd call that more successful than an Everest administration
Yukona
I meant the corruption part because I worked under Everest for a majority of his tenure.
And I believed that was repealed in the Markotovian Administration, but it may have been repealed under me. I do know that we got the Head of Parliament under me, rather than it being a duty of the Minister of Internal Affairs.
I don't think you did anything IIRC
Yukona
One of Sodor's engines has CTE'd today. James, the famous red engine, has been scratched from the list around 18 hours ago. I have sent delegates to Sodor and the Mainland to console some of our troops there who have gotten to know him quite well. I have also ordered an international investigation to be conducted by the ERA, to confirm/deny various reports and rumors.

Labour Representation Committee?
Yukona
Legislative Review.
Yukona
What about the "C"?
Committee.
That's why I didn't include it, you had that part right already.
Gualimole
For some reason, I misread "legislative" as "judicial".
Mercunova
I also misread your nation's name as "Mercovena" for the longest time.
I got glasses a little too late too, albeit after the infamous soldering incident.
Jaslandia
I'm not dead! Shesh! My lazy driver just forgot to log into my account.
James' driver: Well excuse me! I was too busy driving you and making sure you don't crash!
James: Considering I still crashed into Tidmouth Sheds, I think you need a career change!
https://youtu.be/xcSdxWdrnJY?t=32s
James' driver: That was your fault, remember? You didn't get your brakes checked!
James: And you let me! You should have stopped me!
James' fireman: Enough, both of you! Honestly, It's times like these I wish I had been assigned to Duck or Hiro or something.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
^^^^^^^
Also, Mercovena sounds like the brand name of a bottled water or some fruity health drink.
Jaslandia
No, I literally saw the words that were not on the screen even with my glasses on.
And that symbol in the middle of your flag would work well for such a brand.
Mercunova
Oh my.
I'm glad you weren't soldering then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nSKkwzwdW4
Mercunova
Well if it's Mercovena then at some level it's named for the Roman God Mercury, which is fitting because that is the symbol for the Roman God Mercury.
Nothing as serious as forming an illicit intelligence gathering community, surely.
Connor's still ugly af
Gualimole
I was thinking 'Mercovena' sounds like a Russian medication made from vodka.
*Russian accent* "Having trouble with eyesight? Try Mercovena. You'll get so hammered you'll forget all about poor eyesight. *end Russian accent*
Oh thank the Royal Sisters, I'm glad to hear your alive! We all feared the worst. You can't really blame your driver now, but still... maybe someone else could of logged in.

In a midst of lies, you tell the truth.
Interesting.
Mercunova
COLDR created that under Vlad for good purposes I believe. Although obviously we should have taken it as a sign for the future that Vlad was willing to play fast and loose with the rules.
Jaslandia
Interesting ideas, Merc.
Mercunova
Fvck you.
I never knew you were so radical.
Jaslandia, Mercunova, Yukona
Who? The only ones who know the password to this account are myself, my driver, and my fireman. I can't do it because I don't have hands, we already went over my driver, and my fireman... actually Fireman, why couldn't you log into my account?
James' fireman: Because I was busy shoveling coal into your firebox like I always do!
James: Couldn't you log-in from home after work?
James' fireman: I get enough of you at work, James. The last thing I want to do is think about you during my off-hours too.
James: Hey! I take offense to that!
James' fireman: Of course you do. *under his breath* Duck wouldn't be so hard to deal with.
James' driver: Let it go, Tom. Let it go.

New poll is up
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I had forgotten I was involved with that. And I was the prosecution against Unf no less! Sorry Unf if I was being unfair back then.
Penguania And Antarctica
As for the poll, I vote for Kosovo because it seems like a nice place, and I feel sorry for them being held back by the Serbians not recognizing their independence.

I chose Slovenia because it is well off economically and is stable. It had a fairly bloodless secession from Yugoslavia. Yes, Macedonia's secession was less bloodless, but Slovenia then and now was and is more economically prosperous than the rest of the southern Slavic nations.
