Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
the USCS, the Kaiserreich, the UK, CROSS, you all continuously try to band together against me, yet not only am I still standing, I'm stronger then ever...and I still literally don't pose a threat to anyone
Axeldonia
Yes it is.
Yes you can.
The Vidnoye
Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends, up there on the sanctuary moon, are walking into a trap, as is your Rebel fleet. It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.
Jaslandia
But i am the one that was supposed to start a crusade :p
´´Dont pose a threat´´
Meanwhile The Holy empire is expecting your invasion each day.
Emperor Yukatine? YOU MONSTER
He's a Scandinavian heretic! Kill him!
Jaslandia
And yet I still don't understand why...
Where is my sword!
Hates Theocracy, we have more then incompetent army, you see as a medium threat and we also mentioned assassination of your government
Medium threat is a basic default, the reason your medium is because your army is incompetent :P
Spanelsko
I'm a heretic? I'm Protestant. You have no religion at all.
Rofl try me kiddo
How is everyone at this evening ?
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Kalaron, Confederal States, Serft
Not true, we have a native religion (6%) and our own sect of Lutheranism (7%)
Just a reminder to everybody that this is the final day for to submit your ballot.
If you haven't done so already, please telegram your ballot to both Baxten and I before 12:01am EDT tonight.
If you want heretic.
I'm good, helped friend out with homework and am working on a RRA version of the KA-881.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm doing good, Peng. How are you?
Good sir, and you?
Penguania And Antarctica
Protestant brothers? There will be some saved then.
You do realize I could crush you instantly, right? No one will be coming to your aid. I don't think you really want to mess with me. Stand with me against andy.
*whispers* I'd like to point out that the Satanic Temple is a Political activist group that advocates for Secularism and the abolishment of such things as Religious schooling, student corporal punishment, capital punishment, and the separation of Church and state - You'd be wanting Satanism and the Church of Satan
Here are some of there tenets:

I just found random flag to use since i cant really call christian brother a heretic
M'kay, just so you know :3
Well thank you anyway :p I am mainly interested how Aux will react when he sees this flag since you know i am right now with the Pope himself :p
Andromitus
That wasn't an insinuation as much as it was a jokey threat.
And yeah, sure. I, personally, am some shmuck with a computer and more time on his hands than he knows what to do with. I'll probably post an amalgam of political leaning tests and put that somewhere for curious folk. Eventually.
Croyland itself is a fiercely capitalistic nation with a mostly religious populace, protestant Christianity taking the lead. Spend a little too much on our military, though most citizens (and politicians) say not enough. History has left us pretty paranoid. Also copper. Copper for days. One of the main reasons I wanted the Chilean spot on the map is because of the Atacama desert being rich with copper and the largest source of sodium nitrate in the world.
Pay me.
Andromitus
Dont worry, i am not that insane, until Andy is defeated and the world saved we can have good relations.
The Vidnoye
I'm currently updating its factbook so I'll leave you with Ædenism being Revisionist Socialism, essentially, you do you we don't really care on the grounds that technological advancement will literally force you to change to survive;
You say History has left you paranoid and I was wondering if you had a full reason why yet? You see, my history had me act as a nation known as the G.A.R. (Greater Andreallic Empire) and one of our crowning achievements was a major imperial expansionist war during the 1900's. Ergo, I was wondering if your paranoid'ness could be tied to that at all?
Spanelsko, Croyland
You seem to think I'm the only nation of my kind...there are many of us, just by different names, I'm simply the most vocal :P
That is why i said until the world is saved, i even have problem with some Adenists here, well until they burn alive of course
I also see the headlines, Pope and High Inquisitor made a prank and the Imperator nearly had a heart attack :p
The Vidnoye
Do you mean the Eurasian Ædenist Branch or your own revolutionaries?
yep, well to be more correct both
Declared independence and had to fight for it, three revolutions, two wars (One of which an active volcano erupted, burying Croyland's enemies under piles of ash and was seen by the populace as an act of god), and finally, the nation has been pretty isolationist until a couple decades prior to current year.
And yeah sure we can workshop that privately.
Jaslandia, Andromitus
The only work the E.A.B. would be doing is tossing some cash discretely to the Revolutionaries (This is all OOC talk btw) if you want to go down that path IC i'd be happy to RP it with you :D
I'm ready when you are my dude!
New map!

Serft
Oh so Greater Axeldonia is essentially a Socialist federation? I'm actually really interested in your political dynamic so I really hope you develop that more :D

I would like that. as mentioned in the fact book they are weak but they are gaining support. (well who would have thought that even my people want me dead for destruction of Spain and the whole slavery and burning stuff)
Andromitus
Oh, I'm doing good. Quite tired tho. Was quite a busy day. I'm about to go to bed.
So, I have to say goodnight. Nice remaining day and very pleasant dreams tonight. <3
Jaslandia, Kalaron
Aww, really? That's so nice to hear! I didn't know anyone paid attention to my posts at all. But anyways, it's a bit of a federation, yeah. I'm drawing inspiration from things like Russia and Bosnia with the autonomous republics, which are populated by their own ethnic and cultural groups, while the other regions are just administrative divisions.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Spanelsko, Serft
[nation=andromitus] excuse me I am triggered, my country isn't a capitalist democracy, it is a Libertarian Republic.
I am now reporting you to the hurt-feelings internet gestapo

Goodnight, Peng!
The Vidnoye
Excellent

How're the two terms different?
Even Kalaron is democratic socialist. Most nations choose not to exclude us though, historically it either ends in them getting massively overmatched or the issue gets resolved easily enough.
im paying attention.. lots.. and lots.. of "attention"
*is russian*
In the words of a Texan flag: "Come and take it."
*Remembers Kivasekian Mobilization*
*Buzzes wings angrily*
Axeldonia
When was that?
Little while ago, during Vid's initial rise in the CoFN's lore he went on a major expansionist policy until he arrived at the doors of the Syndicalist Commune of Kivasek. Only problem is that Kiv and I were some fairly close allies and after like, a week of tension Vid backed down, the IC reason being he realized that for all his industrial capacity, it ain't much against a few ICBM's or a Drone strike against your capitol.
(Still IC) The Vidnoye then started Digitizing and pushing Hungary's economic-technological capacity before their economy broke down and the state collapsed ([nation=The vidnoye] that the right In context reason?)
So yea, this situation seems a bit like that, only you're replacing Kivasek and we're not as close of allies; Nevertheless, the Ædenist Hummingbird buzzin' her wings :P
The Vidnoye, Axeldonia
Fascism returns to the PLR in the form of a Stratocratic Absolute Monarchy
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Poor dude forgot that his planes were fighting fifth gen murderers *Shakes head sadly*
So is it Fascism or Absolute Monarchy?
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
unfortunately i made a deal with Tserra. So let all know that:
On September 4th of 2019, I am invading every nation in the balkans with no regard to international comment and commiting as many war crimes as I want (that last part i just made up ;)
But until then, I will not be making any agression or territorial gains.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Good luck with that
Peoples Liberation Republic, Penguania And Antarctica
I find it interesting that nations are talking about PLR or other nations possibly comiting war crimes, while we openly talk about it and everyone is fine with it :p
NO. You did not make a deal with anyone. You sent me that d*** message, and I have not yet responded to it. You will not be receiving additional land from me period. You are now cut off. If someone else stupidly decides to give you land, that is their business.
Good day.
Peoples Liberation Republic, Axeldonia
I'm going to try to implement both in a way. Bogdan is the total representation of the State and all citizens are beneath the needs and interests of the State
I mean, TBH, PLR actually did versus Vid potentially doing it. The difference is he might not be a fool :P
oh man, it was a joke i swear :( im sorry
We never banded together against you we asked you to join us
Peoples Liberation Republic
You were my enemy when I was apart of the ITF and before I went Leftist, then I went Leftist and the Kasierreich became the enemy
'n Kuma was mean the whole way through ( ಥـْـِـِـِـْಥ)
Set one foot on Equestrian soil....and I'm unleashing my full might.
Axeldonia
Just say neigh to this escalation of aggression.
Russkov Soviet, Axeldonia, Confederal States
I thought we were in 2020
Axeldonia
whinnies
Axeldonia
we never banded against you though. We banded together against the ITF but no one ever specifically went 'yeah screw that andromitus nation lets focus on taking them down'
this might be random but aren't you the new channeler why hasn't the government been updated?
because it's slow
Solla Ultima
Well you could say that CROSS never directly banded against me specifically (it was really against Kal) but my point still stands
Kalaron
Because, to my knowledge Rainbow Space Cat Founder has not received a request for a government transfer. *Shrugs*
correction
the supreme court is slow
Tserra
actually according to precedent the Chancellor usually announces results and coordinates this but he's inactive so yunno
Tserra
but I thought government by the people was quick and efficient lol
not when its headed by people who aren't here
Tserra, Solla Ultima
we should really add an amendment to the constitution that half way though the governments tenure that a vote of confidence should be held
Andromitus
Good idea actually
Andromitus, Solla Ultima
Ok then can i assume the next chancellor would sign this amendment if it were to pass parliament? :) if so ill gather myself a team of trusted individuals to assemble an amendment!
Eagerly awaits election results
Jaslandia, Percyton, Solla Ultima
Nya.
Andromitus, Percyton
It's pretty much what always happens.
Kalaron always gets pushed against but then survives.
Kalaron remembers the Strait of Gibraltar :P

People have until the 4th to cast their ballot for all the other government positions, and this reasonably means until the end of the 4th.
As precedent dictates that this region's elections run on Eastern Daylight/Standard Time, this means the elections conclude in just under three hours. Even if the Chancellor poll has itself already expired.
Not slow. Just sticking to what was originally communicated in the ballot and on the RMB.

A new news article has been posted by the Arlesburgh Examiner, regarding progress on the new Ooyre Valley Railway, and the rediscovery of two somewhat-famous engines.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=879769
I've also posted an excerpt and link in the newsfeed, since that seems to be where everyone puts their news nowadays.

Another interesting article, Percy! Great to see Stanley and Smudger are back in service!
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Are there other engines missing?

I made a factbook on some notable Flynnvakian disasters.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I was going to say 'no', but Duke told me that there may be one more missing engine.
Duke: Not 'missing', we just don't know what happened to him. I'm talking about Jerry. Like Stanley and Smudger, Jerry was an old colleague of mine from the Mid-Sodor Railway. Unlike Stanley and Smudger, Jerry was quite pleasant chap. He, along with Jennings and Bertram, pulled the MSR's express trains. Jerry is an odd case, because he's the only Mid-Sodor engine whose ultimate fate we don't know: Atlas and Alfred are now museum pieces at the Sodor Railway Museum; Albert and Tim work on a heritage railway on the Mainland; John, Jennings, and Tim were scrapped; Stanley and Smudger were just rescued; and me, Bertram, Falcon (now called Sir Handel), and Stuart (now called Peter Sam) work on the Skarloey Railway. Jerry was sold to a quarry on the Mainland, and that's the last we ever heard of him.
Peter Sam: So, maybe he still works at the quarry them?
Duke: I highly doubt that. It's more likely he was scrapped and we never heard about it.
Percy: But if we never heard about it, is it possible he's still alive somewhere?
Duke: It's possible, but unlikely in my opinion.
Peter Sam: A shame. If Jerry was still here, he'd be a good fit to run those proposed express services on the new railway.
Percy: So, to answer your question Kal, apparently there is still one more missing engine.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
That train crash sounds terrible! I'm always sad when accidents like that happen.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
What about the five steam trams from the old Sodor Tramways? The factbook says the records of their fate was lost, and it's only 'assumed' they were scrapped. Could they be considered missing?
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=percyton/detail=factbook/id=871423
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Duke: You could use that argument, but it's almost certain that all five of them were scrapped. Those five were GER Class G15 steam trams, and all of that class were scrapped with none surviving; if those five survived, it would have been big news and we would all know about it. For Jerry, there's a little more uncertainty, because:
A: Jerry was a custom design, so we can't go by whether or not the rest of his class was scrapped or not, since there were no other members of Jerry's class.
B: Two locomotives similar to Jerry ('Doll' and 'Gertrude') have already been preserved.
C: This is a long shot, but since Jerry's a custom design, it's possible that some kindly controller saw something special in him and had him saved in some way, perhaps in the same way me and Neil of the Sodor and Mainland Railway were saved: Put away in a shed and abandoned, in the hope we would be rediscovered once people came looking for us.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
So, it's currently unknown if this Jerry engine is alive? Is it possible he's squirreled away near that quarry?
I would gladly design a version of the current KA-881 with a large enough Ground Penetrating Radar to try to narrow the search location down. I would also be willing to create the GPR units used to attempt to further find this lost engine if compensation is given.
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
What about all these guys? Are they missing?

I would appreciate that, and we'd be more than happy to pay you for your help! However, we'd first need to work it out with the authorities on the Mainland, since there's a 99% chance he's there. After that's done, we're all set to begin the search!
Edward: You know your stuff, don't you? To answer your questions:
1. The Red Engine (there's only one of them; the other was a goof by the illustrator) is now on a heritage railway on the Mainland.
2. 98462 and 87546 were both scrapped.
3. The Little Blue Tank Engine was scrapped.
4. The Dark Green Tank Engine is now on a heritage railway on the Mainland.
