Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Nope just stating the facts that your notion of Scotland's high productivity is actual much the same as the rest of the UK and a part from oil and whiskey it produces much the same things as the rest (doesn't make it not critical) and so on, I need to sleep
Regardless, the unicorn is a wild and free-spirited beast by nature. I hope she will break her chains one day.
Oh absolutely brother. I think the people of Andromitus has referred to me as a filthy savage. They ought to be put in their place my good friend.
Nuremgard, The Empire Of Handland
Not kidding, that is how Tangshan answers diplomatic sleights. It invades and bombs the offending nation. Just say the word, dude, and we'll make a crater out of them.
The Empire Of Handland, Peoples Liberation Republic
His Eminent General of the PLR Dubaku Imari praises your country of standing in solidarity with us and furthermore, the PLR agrees to do the same for your country in the presence of foreign aggressors upon your sovereignty and national security. Fellow brothers look out for each other and I am pledging to you PLR's cooperation and collaboration to ensure the preservation of your institutions and administrative governance.
Nuremgard, The Empire Of Handland
Tangshan's divine General thanks the Eminent General for his high praise and offers the same cooperation and collaboration so that your sovereignty and nationhood may be preserved. We also pledge to not encroach about the territorial integrity of the PLR (unless you piss us off ;)
Where is your territory anyways?
Nuremgard
It's not officially on the regional map but it's basically China. :P
Peoples Liberation Republic
i am new hello
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Hey. Nice flag.
Penguania And Antarctica, Turmezzistan
How's the Sultan?
Doing good: not much tends to get through the literally-named Central Bureaucracy along with the Senate, Cabinet, and Assembly. Still preparing the Constitution, just finished the national government section and currently writing about the Eashira's (royal family) status in the Caliphate.
Nuremgard
I am about to TG you something.
Are there political parties in the country?
Okay
I mean, tbh we call everyone savages and at this point I wouldn't take it as an insult; we all have an imperial-grade superiority complex here in the Heartland so Primitive or Savage is more or less what we'd call anyone who's not Ædenist :-/
Hmm :-/ In that case your going to be bombing me a lot
Hey, names Andy and welcome to the region!
Oh, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about anything ;D
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
In the meantime, the Keizer is in captivity lol
Nuremgard
I thought you executed him?
We're cool with that. Bombing is fun!
Damn lol What kind? Prison cell captivity or gilded cage captivity?
are roleplays done in the rmb or offsite fourms?
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Little bit of both; we have a General RP system here:

Prison cell
No the gov is deciding what to do
Is the new gov democratic? Will it increase political freedoms in the country?
Some exist, but most go with either technocratic or meritocratic advocating: in particular, the minority bloc are the Technists, who believe that a greater emphasis of science in the elective government should be pursued, mostly in an attempt to streamline more ungainly bodies such as the Senate, while the majority bloc Revolution believes that a change from the absolute monarchies should be made, especially due to some of the activities performed by aristocracies. These activities usually require bailouts for the kingdoms as provided by the federal government, so Revolution calls for the introduction of civil service exams to chip away at the power of both incompetent monarchs and aristocrats, while encouraging greater democratic and constitutional powers to be made in the States. So far, examinations have been made in the western kingdoms, though the east is likely to stall on the implementation.
Nuremgard
Yes
This country sounds so interesting! You should make a party called Tradition or something like that and have it advocate for absolute monarchy, aristocracy, Islamic government etc.
Peoples Liberation Republic, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
Nuremgard is cool with this. I like Stadtholder as a title. I had a short-lived country ruled by one a while ago.

SilverBlood was our Founder in the CFN. His refusal to give or share the Founder position with Unf (and subsequent suspension of Government) was what prompted us to leave for the NGA.
He's a pretty OK guy.

Hello my dear children
Penguania And Antarctica
From the limited knowledge I know about the situation, I believe she is doomed to failure xD
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Oh, she is. Her new government is reliant upon homophobic, anti-abortion, climate change denying, Catholic-hating, terrorist-supporting religious nutjobs from the arse end of Ireland. She wont last long.

Penguania And Antarctica, United Continental States
I'm from bonnie auld Scotland.
Penguania And Antarctica
Scotland is beautiful, plus men in Kilts are a plus. I used to have a friend named Stephen from Scotland.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
I am also called Stephen. ;) Agreed with you about Scotland being beautiful and men in kilts being a plus.
Penguania And Antarctica
Haha no way. I am also Stephen. Only reason I remember him is because we share the name.
Penguania And Antarctica
Evil
The PLR accepts both as compliments
Nuremgard
Don't forget about the rest of the UK! Except northern Wales (not Snowdonia)....We don't talk about northern Wales...
Penguania And Antarctica
Welcome to the region, Stevie.
Penguania And Antarctica
Who talks about Wales at all?

Only on tuesdays
I've never met a sane person from wales haha
Thanks Stevie
have a nice night everyone. peace out
Penguania And Antarctica
Oh so you accept barbarian but not primitive, I sense a double standard ;)
Nuremgard
Not double standard. You can be very modern but have a socially barbaric society. But you cannot be modern yet primitive. Primitive is an insult. Barbaric is not.
