Not quite like that I'm afraid!

Well..... That's unfortunate. Couldn't log in multiple times. Finally did and..... My custom banners are gone and the flag is a grey square. I'm sure it looks normal on your end, but I'll probably make a new flag/banners in just in case my folder holding this is corrupted.

Nia: Hello, everyone! I have good news and bad news. The good news is there are still no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Sodor. The bad news is that our neighbor the Isle of Man now have 2 confirmed cases, and I think it's only a matter of time before the virus reaches our island.

Edward: To minimize the spread, we have begun taking greater precautions. Schools and colleges are now closed for in-person students, public indoor places are limited to 50% capacity, and tomorrow will be the last days for bars, nightclubs, and casinos to be open. We will continue to monitor this disease, and will update you if additional measures are required.

Percy: In the meantime, stay safe and don't panic! This is a scary time for all of us, and I know all of us are really worried. The best thing we can do now is to stay calm and be there for each other - at a distance of at least 6 feet or 1.8 metres, of course.

Russkov Soviet wrote:Major Chenkov: We have planes and ships moving daily between Russia and Sodor, so I don't think it will be too problematic for a film crew to come over.

Sergei: And we do appreciate the offer to house our crew during filming. You don't have to worry about covering costs, but lodging might be tricky. Wouldn't want to disturb the locals with all our hustle and bustle.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thank you for your understanding! We will do our best to minimize the impact on local residents and provide you with comfortable and convenient lodging.

My PC is garbage, so mostly PS4. My current lineup is:

- Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint

- Red Dead Redemption 2

- Star Trek Online

- Nascar Heat 4

I'm probably going to drop one of those to make room for something in the future.

New poll in Zentari. Come and vote! We got a good one for you this week!

Do You Agree With How Your Government is Handling the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Percyton

Nia: Hello, everyone! After much discussion and consultation with experts, the State of Percyton is imposing a nationwide shelter-in-place order to limit the spread of COVID-19. All non-essential businesses will be shut down, and citizens will only be permitted to take trips for essential purposes like buying food, getting medicine, going to the doctor/hospital, or going to an essential job. Outdoor recreation is still permitted so long as people are at least 1.8 meters/6 feet away from each other.

Gordon: We also recognize that this is a time of much economic hardship for the people of Sodor. Therefore, we are pushing for a bill in Parliament that would grant payments of 1,100 pounds to all Percytonian citizens. And unlike our American friends, Percyton already guarantees paid sick leave for all workers. We shall do everything we can to provide for our citizens during these difficult times.

Toby: As for transportation, the railways will further reduce service, and Sir Topham Hatt and I would like to remind everyone that railways and other public transport are for essential purposes only. In consultation with Sodor Roadways, bus services are also being reduced, and both buses and trains will be thoroughly disinfected. Despite some rumours circulating, the border with the United Kingdom will not be closed, but a border checkpoint will be set up at Barrow-in-Furness in the coming days.

Percy: And don't worry about us engines. We can't catch the disease, although it can live on our surfaces, so our crews are wearing gloves. And we're making the most of our downtime be telling stories, relaxing in the Sun, and as mentioned before, shooting PSAs about proper hygiene.

Nia: All citizens with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the Ministry of Health and Safety or their local health board. Please stay safe, and look out for each other!

Thomas: Day 12 of quarantine. Percy created a replica of Ffarquhar in Animal Crossing, Toby is bragging about how many aliens he's killed in XCOM, and I've changed my Zoom background five times. The days are blurring together. I don't know how much longer I'll make it

Edward: Oh don't be so over-dramatic, Thomas! It's not the end of the world!

Thomas: Easy for you to say. You've been listening to an audiobook of War and Peace nearly the entire time.

Percy: Also, I just noticed Percyton is the 8th-most stationary nation in the region. Makes sense, given Sodor has many train stations.

Gordon: And also because both engines and people on Sodor are quite stationary now due to the shelter-in-place order.

A new reform has been passed in The Empire Of Free Salvation, leading to the ability for Members of the same region to trade freely inside the Country, as long as the vehicles or persons used to trade are extensively monitored and back-ground checked before-hand.

The First Writings of Salvation

The Empire Of Free Salvation is a Country that came into existence in early 1204BC, but remained Undiscovered until 3AD. By this time, the empire had developed enough in the small space to look God-like to the average person. However, in the small world they had, the nature of everything was very different. What had been 1,207 years outside had been 5,329,410 years inside. This lead to-

Question little nation, how large are you? Who are your gods? Will you put up a fight for when our army invades you? -Supreme Leader of Iberia

The Current Military Size of our country is restricted information. Access to this information falls under a clause signed within peace-deals. If you wish to see the Ground Forces Size of The Empire of Free Salvation, you will have to sign a disclosurement form (which will be telegrammed at a later, more convenient time). If such a war is declared, you accept full responsibility to pay any debts, deficits and solve any problems this country has. I am sure you understand.

This Country does NOT currently endorse, support or in any way maintain the existence of "Gods" , "Almighty Beings" or other such myths, though will openly accept that other Countries DO directly claim the existence of such persons.

To answer the question of putting up a fight, I will ask you firstly what you see in our "Little Nation" that makes it worthy of an invasion, and secondly for what reason you assume diplomatic relations will cease between us? In an event of a valid declaration of war, The Empire of Free Salvation is prepared to defend their righteous homelands. In reference to the size of this country, you may discover that yourself or I may tell you. To give you a rough estimate, imagine the modern-day country of Peru, but a different shape and on a different continent. Also, by admitting that you ARE in the C.F.N, you understand that such a war would be an "Internal Conflict" which you started, looking bad for both the C.F.N and yourself, thus eliminating all reason for war.

Thanks for the understanding,

Supreme Leader of Iberian Hordes: While we do not mind signing such an insignificant deal solving problems would be accepted by our supreme dictatorship only when our regime would be defeated in war. After all what's the point of repairing the damage dealt by a war to those we conquered within our horde? Your nation caught our attention for the reason that it shares with other nations. Your population could we used for our religious sacrifices both during and after the war. After all the God's of Death and War both demand blood for their favors they put upon our nation.

We are not interested in resources in the ground like oil or whatever, only humans. And to spread our most supreme faith which will dominate the world one day once the final cleansing comes upon all of the nations who defy the true masters of this universe. For senseless violence and despair is the path of chaos... the path of our Gods!

We wanted to know about your military potential to see how many bodies you are worth for us to send when the inevitable invasion comes.

As for your claim for an internal conflict, you don't understand my child. We are the one's who were born of conflict following the fall of the first dictatorship. For us war is our eternal salvation, for our destiny is to wage war against everyone who fails to see the truth that we speak.

Whether we crush your fire of freedom today or in a year does not matter, for all who stand against us shall perish at the hands of my horde... for we are the greatest army of this world!

If you seek protection from us ask the Soviet Union, they might save you for a time. after all the Coltsov family does like to meddle in our interests from time to time. (Russkov Soviet)

But remember, we have survived the worst this world had to throw at us, from the democracies that deposed the first regime to the red army in the east. Everyone know's to fear our flag of terror, for where we go we bring war and destruction. WE ARE THE HORDE!

OOC

if it wasn't obvious from our national name we are a Dystopia, do you think in Role Play sense we care about international opinion? XD

Everyone in here knows that we are war criminals. The only 2 nations we have somewhat friendly relations with are Percyton and Russkov

The Issue

A former member of your cabinet has just been executed for masterminding a plot to assassinate you and take power. While most are now satisfied that the threat has been dealt with, one particularly paranoid adviser has raised the issue of the deceasedÂ’s family.

“These scoundrels are tainted by the crime of their kin,” says one of your fervently loyal ministers, as he shows you information on the family along with their pictures. “Treachery runs in their blood and we must rip it out, root and stem. The only solution is to execute the entire family as well. If you don’t, they will rise up and destroy us in revenge for what we did... It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

The Talking Point

Family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off.

Just as planned. No one will be spared from my wrath- Supreme Lord Khan of Iberia

Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia

The Issue

Attendance at last weekÂ’s stoning in Askana Square was at a record low, as citizens decided instead to take a healthy walk, read self-improvement books, or merely exchange pleasantries with one another.

“Few have the stones to look a fellow human in the eyes and kill them,” rasps Freda Beggins, a diminutive and hairy-toed master stonethrower, as she demonstrates her left-arm unorthodox spin delivery on a stray tiger. “Leave the job to the professionals, and we’ll get it done. Quick. Brutal. Merciless.”

The Talking Point

Public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were

I....I did it.... i made all of my people the perfect psychopaths that i always wanted.... i am so happy! :]

Fellow Citizens

A completely pointless, ineffective raid was attempted on the Confederacy of Free Nations this morning.

Nevertheless, all raider nations remaining in the region have been ejected and will suffer the fires of eternal damnation in The Rejected Realms.

The region is obviously secure as we have an active founder nation. Congratulations to Nuremgard for your 12-hour delegacy. Long live our eternal delegate Penguania And Antarctica and congratulations in advance for reassuming the delegacy at some point today.

Keep your eyes in the back of your heads open.

After 3 years and 48 days the flag of Penguania and Antarctica was lowered at the residence of the WA delegate marking the end of an era. During his time of office he put all his energy in serving this community. May the new delegate be as wise and passionate. And all the best wishes to the outgoing delegate.

After half a day of absence the flag of Penguania and Antarctica is hoisted at the residence of the WA delegate again marking the beginning of a new era. The new delegate said he will put all his energy into the service to this community. He thanks the interim delegate Nuremgard for his excellent execution of this office.

Hello everyone! I hope you all are safe and healthy! Seems a lot happened lately. I'm not sure what a 'raid' is, but it sounds scary. I'm glad you all made it out okay!

I would also like to remind you all this year is the 75th anniversary of our franchise! That's a lot of years! Due to the coronavirus we can't have the in-person celebrations we had planned, but our 75th anniversary special Thomas and the Royal Engine is now available on Netflix in the US and UK! It also comes with a special introduction by Harry, Duke of Sussex! Check it out if you're interested, and I hope we can all celebrate this special event despite the everything that's going on right now.

Fun Fact Friday From Fibertas

A blue whale can eat almost half a million calories in one mouthful. Talk about a big appetite! Eating this much krill in one go accounts for nearly 200 times the amount of calories burned in one feeding attempt.

Hello everyone!

I am having a bit of a dilemma. I have to make room for a villager in Animal Crossing, but I don't know which villager I should replace. Please take this poll to help me decide.

While I don't have that dilemma yet, having just bought the game two days ago, I will go ahead and vote. ^^; It's nice to have a use for my Switch.

[I]I wish to personally thank those who have shown support during Saturdays festivities.[/I]

[I]- King Elijah II of Penguania And Antarctica, the members present at the Embassy did thoroughly enjoy the presentation put on by the Corps. We made sure the performance was televised across our nation and various bases in the world. Such beautiful music.[/I]

[I]- Prince Regent Jason of Jaslandia, we thank you for your sentiments. The festivities went off with minimal issues. If there is anything our people can do to assist yours in this pandemic, don't hesitate to ask.[/I]

[I]- Empress Mara Sov and Konsul Theo Desmond of Midasia, I can personally say the Tsar is fine, for I wouldn't be writing this if I wasn't! I actually did attend the festivities and make a speech, but the broadcast did not properly update in some areas. We will surely survive this pandemic. Our Department of National Health is working non-stop, so if you require assistance, just let us know.[/I]

[I]On another note, I hope everyone and their mothers did enjoy Mother's Day yesterday![/I]

Hello everyone! Today is the day! On May 12th, 1945, the Reverend Wilbert Awdry published The Three Railway Engines, the first book in the The Railway Series that launched our franchise. In other words, today is Thomas & Friends' 75th anniversary! We actually had some big plans with guest speakers, parties, contests, and all sorts of events, but those all had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we're still celebrating the day. We've put up a website with pre-recorded messages from myself, Thomas, Sir Topham Hatt, and other officials, we have games and activity sheets online, and our fans around the world are marking the occasion in their own way. Thank you all for being with us and allowing our franchise to go on so long!

Thomas: And here's hoping we can make our 76th anniversary even better!

Gordon: I doubt it, considering Mattel has basically put our show on hiatus.

Percy: What's a hi-ate-us? Is Hi hungry?!

Edward: Gordon! Now's not the time!

Gordon: What? It's true.

Congrats on the anniversary! It certainly isn't every children's entertainment franchise that can say they've been going for 75 years. And as for your show, hopefully you'll come back at some point better than ever!

Thank you! It is an honor for our franchise to be going on for so long, and we have our fans to thank for it!

Gordon: As for coming back stronger then ever, I would hope so, otherwise we may not come back at all! I imagine Mattel have seen the writing on the wall that their little Big World! Big Adventures! reboot is a failure that didn't achieve the revitalization of the brand they were hoping for. The fact that merchandise is still of sub-standard quality doesn't help.

Edward: Come on Gordon, that doesn't seem fair. There could be lots of factors at play, and Mattel in general has been struggling, not just Thomas & Friends.

Gordon: How could you be defending them?! They practically wrote you off the show!

Edward: No, they moved me to a different shed and took me off the Steam Team. I still make appearances sometimes.

Gordon: Hardly.

Edward: And in any case, the show is made for the children, not us. Mattel can do what they want with the TV show, but it won't stop me from being a Really Useful Engine.

Gordon: You at least got it better than poor Henry. Henry didn't get a proper departure episode like you did, and he makes even fewer appearances.

Henry: *sighs* That's life sometimes. At least I had a speaking role in the recent anniversary special. And my line was a Railway Series reference!

Gordon: Yes, that was a nice touch I'll admit.
