Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Feel like I wanna make a nation that is part of another player's empire.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms, Percyton
If we were in the 18-1900's you could've been in mine :3
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
What kind of nation are you?
Percyton
Currently I am an Ædenist State; Essentially its a local direct democracy on street --> Municipality levels paired with an overarching Meritocratic Soviet called the First Sectarian Council. Think of it like the State has almost all of the power however the People have a growing say in how its used.
I transitioned into this from being the G.A.R. Greater Andreallic Empire a heavily militaristic, expansionist, imperial power that thrived during the 18-1900's but fell in 1969 to the Colombial Ædenist Revolution.
Onocarcass, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Percyton
Hmm. Interesting and different. If I did make a colony type nation, I'd want it to be under the control of some kind of monarchy or imperial republic. Perhaps the colony would religious in nature.
You would have loved the G.A.R. Headed by an Imperator, a by-blood monarch and Lordship with a Meritocratic Absolutist Aristocratic social system and a political system where the Central Imperator would vie for power against the Local Provincial Viceroy in a constant duel of authority. The entire Empire existed due to the evolution of AndroCatholicism, a branch of Catholicism that focuses on the Believers being of "a higher race" which expanded over time to stay that only Andrealls could be believers and only the Royalty could be "of the highest race". We invaded other territories to maintain stability, gain resources, and to make more room for the royalty and pure-blooded Andrealls. Hoo boy we committed so much genocide because the Godless Lesser Races were in our way...
Hell you being a territory would've been fun because you're leader, a Viceroy of the Empire, would have had near total power over his/her province, being able to maintain a state-level economy, personal military force, and would have been able to take part in Imperial politics; basically the E.U. if it was an Empire. You could've subjugated you're natives, created non-imperial deals, enjoyed the benefits of Imperial deals, invaded other territories and not have to worry about being invaded because the other lords and the central Imperial military would defend you while you're away...
Nuremgard, Percyton
Nice! So I could be a thuggish dictator, imposing my will on the people of my province for the good of the Empire. Take part in imperial politics in order to further my agenda at the higher levels (and build connections there too) and be able to invade other countries at my leisure to exploit their resources and people.
Sounds like fun!
Percyton
Interesting. So what will it take to convince Qinjan or Zengshyn?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Essentially yea, I'm expanding on it more later but we had some fairly unique Viceroy's in power; For example Thraiig von Andrea enslaved and purged her natives and was responcible for the invasions of Mexico and the Carribean while Kroren von Andrea attempted to add the conquered peoples into his province as essentially a second-hand population. Other Viceroy ignored there own, or kicked them out, etc etc. Sure there were some universal laws such as the rights of all Andrealls, the acquisition of royalty, and general laws but regardless..
Nuremgard
Nothing can convince Zengshyn, since that would assist the many province movements in Zengshyn, and Qinjan wants to set the border really small.

Percy isn't the only engine who can take selfies! I suggest all of you check out MY selfies on the offsite forum.
http://thecoffincofn.boards.net/post/268/thread
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
This raises so many questions! Do engines have their own phones? If so, do the Driver's just hold on to them and do everything for their engine? How could it be safe to take a selfie while on the job? Why would an engine need a whole album of selfies on their phone (although this is vain James we're talking about, so that answers the last question)?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
1. Some do, but most don't. I have my own phone, since my Driver doesn't want to store all my selfies on his phone, and Donald and Douglas each have their own phone, though I'm not sure why. However, most engines don't need their own phone. Percy, for example, doesn't have a phone; all he needs a phone for would be posting on NS and the occasional selfie, and he can do both of those things with his Driver's phone.
2. Basically, yes. What other choice do we have? However, our Drivers usually don't take our phones home with them, and instead they leave it in our sheds with our other valuables.
3. It's not safe, which is why we either take them while we're stopped, or we get the people from the TV series crew to help us out.
4. If acknowledging and taking pride in the fact that I'm the most splendid red engine on the Island of Sodor is 'vain', then consider me as vain as vain and can be. And besides, I'm still lots of fun, right?

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe Qinjan will be able to compromise eventually?
They all look great, James!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
The Federation Armed Forces had to get involved in the case of N'peng gaining its status as a province. The Western provinces suffer many problems due to the borders being drawn by the Karkassi Kingdom with little care for ethnic diversity there.

You could create a state for El-Aaiún: be a kingdom, duchy, margraviate, principality, county, etc., or republic under the banner of the Caliphate, so long as you contribute some men to the Federal Defence Forces and National Guard, swear fealty, and don't try to circumvent the Constitution, and we'll let you have free reign on any area of governance not covered in the Constitution.

Hey that actually sounds pretty cool. I could have a Muslim nation and be part of a greater power. How much political freedom would we have as part of the empire?

Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic, Yukona, Percyton
...yeah I had a moment but i am back, annexed the most important part of Angola and now I am returning full fledge to Somalia. Speaking of such, here you go: https://www.nationstates.net/region=the_confederacy_general
It's a mix of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Ottoman Empire: all States have a Constitution that stipulates governance in the area (the Constitutions can, however, enshrine a hereditary absolute monarchy though citizens have equal footing amongst one another - not on equal footing with the aristocracy or royal families in more absolute provinces though), hold a Governor-General to represent the State as a whole and Lieutenant-Governors in the subdivisions of the States (similar to Canada having a Lieutenant-Governor for each province), and must can't restrict things like a state-mandated religion or homosexuality unless agreed upon by the Caliph when annexing the province. Citizens can vote in Federal elections for the Supreme Court, parts of the Constituent Assembly, and the offices of the President and Vice-President, but States can determine the electoral province. A provincial legislature or full suffrage isn't a requirement, and indentured servitude is common the further east you go, but full slavery is a no-go and cruel and unusual punishments are not allowed (public flogging and a day in the stocks, however, are considered humiliation rather than punishment). Just remember that some members of a State aristocracy can become members of the Senate, and there is further representation (the House of Sovereigns is where all State leaders meet at least once a month in El-Aaiún (Western Sahara), the Parliament of Nations is where all of the Lieutenant-Governors meet, and the Federal Supreme Council is where the Governors-General convene; being a State is not a factor in representation of the Council, you'll need a lot of affluence, military power, or some strings with the Federal Government to get a seat or share one with a neighboring State.) States can also impose embargoes and enact interstate military/political compacts with one another so long as the Government approves, and that the embargo is only with a directly neighboring state, as well as enter military conflicts with one another (at least until the Caliph or a stronger state sanctioned by the Federal Government steps in), though doing such can allow for the Caliph to strip the State's rulers of powers.

Strong opinions killed the birdie, you know
Penguania And Antarctica
It's unfortunately to late to avoid violence in Zengshyn, there is a war going on there currently, which is why it is the only province travel to is advised against.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Um, alright.
I more meant that since the chaotic world is such a large button issue, it should be known that it'd be easier to achieve with a custom map, since we could reboot the world with the new, improved rules.
I'm really sorry to hear that. While I can't help militarily, Percyton would like to provide humanitarian aid, if that's alright with you.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
See, there are actually rules to province warfare within the Federation, none of which have been breached due to the fact that it would legally bring the Federation military into action.
The main rule is that only registered combatants may engage one another. A maximum of 3000 non combatant casualties are allowed per year as unfortunate victims of war.
As such pretty much all deaths and injuries are between rebel armies and Zengshini police forces.
Percyton
I see. I'm glad to hear civilians aren't being adversely affected by this war. Still, if that ever changes, be sure to let us know!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Um, okay.
But I prefer our main and central map be one of Earth, while custom maps can be ised for player-based RPs as these have more f an air of fantasy to them anyways (i.e. Medieval RP)
Also, you mentioned that an RP reboot with a custom map may come with "codified and central laws" and, given that laws in this region almost always refer to laws of Parliament- and I beleve that paws should not govern RP material- I'm inclined to vote against this.
United Continental States
The most problematic thing with Zengshin province, is that the Zengshini people aren't even the majority.
Percyton
Too right! Dogs and other pawed creatures have no right to dictate how we can RP! That's for humans and humans only to decide!
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, United Continental States
You have now alienated a large portion of my populous :(
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Really? That's odd. So if that's the case, why not just hold an election to split the province and end all this violence? Everyone will get their own province, and with all the other groups having split off, the Zengshini will finally be a majority in their own province. Everyone wins!
Jaslandia
Don't feel bad, Ono; for what it's worth, I have no problem with dogs having a role in RPs. If they can come up with good ideas, then they're just as welcome as humans and locomotives!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
And penguins too, of course.
Penguania And Antarctica
Legality, in order to become a province all but 1 current province has to agree the one seeking provincehood is a province. The problem is that Qinjan and Zengshyn have agreed to veto each other's rebel areas.
That whole post was a spelling mess. I'd say don't drink and NationStates, ladies and gentlemen, but let's be honest- it's a whole lot more fun this way.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
My question is why allow Inter-Provincial war at all? If a population wants to form there own Province wouldn't it be easier (and safer) if they just be allowed to hold there own referendum and then check base with the highest legal authority?
Jaslandia, Percyton
Laws are laws, sometimes they don't make the most rational sense.
Jaslandia
Again, this seems needlessly complicated as it, as seen with Qinjan and Zengshyn, seems to perpetuate oppression...
Jaslandia, Percyton
*Revolutions*
Jaslandia
Because a perfectly functional, non issue having country would be boring.
Jaslandia, Percyton
So why don't the people of Zengshyn vote for a new government in their province that wouldn't veto? After all, if non-Zengshini are the majority, then it should be fairly easy for them to come together and elect a new government that will let them become provinces. Qinjan would be the only veto left, so there would be enough votes to create the new provinces, right?
Jaslandia
You'd be amazed just how little of the population you need to vote for you, when you section off voters properly.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Voter suppression? Somehow I'm not surprised. How does Zengshyn do it? Property requirements? Making some people's votes count more than other people's? Making it difficult for people to physically get to the polls?
Zengshini votes count for 3
Kangshen votes count for 1
Other ethnic groups count for 2
Kangshen are the majority group of Zengshyn province, but the Zengshini people were the most receptive to the Karkassi advance during Grand Expansionism, as such the kingdom put them in positions of power in the area.
Jaslandia
Whatever happened to Markotovia?

Oh I don't mean that. RP laws would e totally separate. They'd be "codified" in my own rulebook, not in the burecratic halls of Parliament.
Yea, I didn't mean in the government; that Latrovian mess of an idea was the antithesis of my RP moderation plan. I mean to form a moderation council, totally separate, and make laws codified in my own factbooks, like mentioned above.
How unfortunately typical. I hope the rest of Onocarcass isn't like that.
Percyton
Most of the provinces East of Haygrevski are very fair.
Jaslandia, Percyton
So, Onocarcass basically lets each provinces do whatever they want and run things however they want? Seems more like a confederation than a federation. Onocarcass must be the Holy Roman Empire of the CFN, except with more furries.
