I thank you and appreciate your kind words. I will be happy if you choose to expand your railways all around the CoFN. :)
Jaslandia, Varrick The Rich Guy, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
If I could get permission from the various national governments in the CoFN, I would certainly like to! I'll also talk to Varrick, and see if he'd be willing to help finance the railway's expansion.
Jaslandia, Latrovia, Varrick The Rich Guy, Penguania And Antarctica
Fine by me!
Jaslandia, Percyton
It can be an international CoFN project to allow your railways around.

Emphasis on required
Did you have stricter restrictions on guns before that?
It means that when you require a permit, your putting stricter restictions on guns, there for raising your social conservatism.
AKA: Citizens in nations ranked highly tend to have greater restrictions placed on what they may do in their personal lives, whether via community values or government-imposed law.
I'll send on too. Probably tomorrow.

My friends - I NEED YOUR HELP. I have been trying a lot to convince President Humpheria to join the Latrovian Administration team as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I believe that his knowledge of our constitution and his love of our region will make him an excellent choice of a Minister representing our region's best interests externally.
I am asking for your assistance by posting these hashtags to inform our friend and comrade Humpheria how much he means to us.

I totally agree. [nation=short]Humpheria_Major[/nation] you did a good job and I'm sure will do a great MoFA. You are one of the best politicians we have. It's only right that you continue. I personally like you and your style of politics. So take the job.

No, conservatives in America believe in no gun permit required. while democrats what restrictions that is the complete opposite of social conservatism.

I don't believe so.
That's a true enough point
I can help with that. Provided I get a stake financially, of course.
I'm the Varrick that Percy mentioned, and I don't live in Louisiania (wherever that is). I'm not sure if we've met. Iknik Blackstone Varrick of Varrick Industries, at your service! Well, maybe not literally 'at your service;' like everything else I do, my service comes with a fee.

Me and Gordon just had a meeting with Sir Topham Hatt (my Prime Minister), Toby (my Minister of Transportation), and Edward (my Minister of Finance), and all three of them expressed concern that large overseas expansion could lead to us losing focus of Sodor, and could possibly force us to make some painful sacrifices on Sodor. So, we decided that Percyton's expansion outside of Sodor and Cumbria (England) will be a separate-but-somewhat-connected company from the main Sodor Railways company. Me and my government will still be involved in overseeing this expansion, but much of the decision-making and day-to-day operations will be handled by this new company (tentatively called Sodor Railways International). The main leadership of this new company will likely be engines who already live on Sodor or frequently visit Sodor (such as Connor, Caitlin, and Spencer), but since this will be an international company, we'd also be open to hiring business executives and other qualified people from other countries.
On a lighter note, we're encouraged by the positive reception we've heard so far, and our representatives will soon be in contact with regional and national officials about the terms of expansion.

I don't actually know what most of that stuff means; that's just what Edward told me to post.

You mean like Otherkin? Because Percy and his friends really are trains, with their own railway and everything. And they also happen to govern an island.

It's true; there's even a whole TV show about us, though some parts have been changed for the show.

If we start talking about tunnels this will be positively Freudian.
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Yukona, Percyton
I don't think that's actually where engines come from. Engines are actually made by humans in the Works.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
"Henry's first (mis-)adventure was in "The Sad Story of Henry", the third story in the Railway Series book The Three Railway Engines. In this story, he went into a tunnel and refused to come out due to fears that the rain would spoil his paint. As punishment, the Fat Controller ordered that he was bricked up in the tunnel for eternity. Weeks later, he was eventually let out to help Edward pull Gordon's express train, after Gordon burst a safety valve."

My taxes are too high.
At what point does a train become a Train, and can talk and think like you?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I wasn't around when that happened, but Thomas and Edward told me about it. The other engines still tease Henry about it once-in-a-while, and he doesn't like that.
Sir Topham Hatt was also much stricter back then. He's softened up since then.
That's a good question, and I still don't really have the full answer to that myself. What I've heard is that some engines, especially British and Sudrian engines, come alive almost as soon as they are created. Other engines need a little magic to bring them alive, with Island of Sodor coal being the easiest source of magic for engines. Most engines can then run on regular coal and stay alive once they've used Island of Sodor coal once or twice, but some engines take longer to fully absorb the magic.
They actually made a move which kind of explains this, called Thomas and the Magic Railroad, but I don't think the movie's explanation is completly accurate.

This is the latter.

It could be worse; one engine got in trouble a lot because he rode roughly and often came off the rails. As punishment, the manager turned the engine into a generator, with the engine even keeping his face and (presumably) his consciousness while he was a stationary generator. That railway was eventually closed down, but no one knows what happened to that engine/generator since then.

Jaslandia, Percyton
Blame Reverend Awdry. A lot of the original Thomas and Friends episodes, including the one I mentioned, were originally written by Awdry in book form. The first book was published in 1945, so it's safe to say there were different standards back then about what was and was not appropriate for kids.

The Thin Clergyman? I've heard of his books, and while the books changed some things, he's a very nice man.
Thomas told me and the other engines all about. Even I was a little scared when I first heard the story.

Welcome to the CoFN, Tekelia!
I used to watch it all the time as a kid, but looking back at it now, it was very weird. Still kinda fun and nostalgic, but it's weirder than I remember. While he makes a few unnecessarily snide comments about the show, Nostalgia Critic brought up some good points regarding the movie: Thomas and the engines were barely in it, lazy attempt to get the audience involved, overly-complex plot for a movie aimed at little kids, etc.

ok so, i have encountered a problem, yall beleave in democracy, i beleave in socialism and controling the populus to prevent violence, and i heavily control freedom of speech, is that ok with this group or should i just leave?
A Lord of Cinder is, by necessity, one who has succeeded in Linking the ancient fire inside of Lothric/Lordran/The Profaned Capital
They are those who fight for their cause, knowing full well that whatever gain they make is transient and worthless in comparison to the -admittedly temporary- golden age that will follow in their death.
That said, they are only made when the First Flame is in dire peril, and even the Chosen Undead fail in their journey -though I suppose they did complete their part in the revolving prophesy a very long time ago- and are from then on defeated by the various Champions of Ash -themselves having failed to link the Flame in any meaningful way- such that the Age of Fire might be further prolonged.
Unfortunately, madness often takes a Lord of Cinder, and those who come back to once again be fuel for the fire must, often inexorably- be put down with Ash itself being returned to the thrones they once sat in.
To be a Lord of Cinder is to be willing to self-sacrifice in the most heroic of ways, not with stoicism, or dignity, or even with calm sometimes.
It is to feel dread and terror (and indeed determination) even as you fight the combined strength and tactics of all those who have come before you and succeeded, the finale enemy being an amalgamate of the Fire's fuels from the ages.
Conversely, to be a Lord of Hollows would be to reject the notion of there being an inherent, sovereign duty discharged upon the strong, and to instead steal the fires strength for what is -hopefully- all eternity as the King of all the darkness touches, and the conqueror of what little light remains, though, perhaps that is not as immoral as it might seem, seeing as the Fire itself has killed or Hollowed thousands just to stay alive against the abyss.

tbh I'm still a little confused on the whole Magic Railroad situation. Like, all that travelling back and forth
Woah
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I can understand why. I kind of understood it when I was younger, but I don't think I cared that much: I just wanted to see Thomas and his engine friends in a movie. They could have just made a feature-length Thomas and Friends episode and I would've loved it.
Penguania And Antarctica
Socialistic policies don't necessarily incorporate controlling the speech of the populous. (Unless your nation is a left nationalist state) In any case, you're still welcome here!
Tekelia
thank you, and i only go socialist cause i like the idea of everyone working and getting equal pay out of everyones work but i dont want to control land.
Meh, I don't regard the Socialist system as a truthful or actually stable functioning political system mainly due to the middle and upper classes being practically bastardized for earning more money than others. It isn't very fair in that sense. Nevertheless, you are welcome like anyone else!
Hello! I am Andromitus, a Technocracy, I find it funny how we both have similar yet different political view points... Awesome, a new person to discuss with!
Also to your question, absolutely no need to leave, We pride ourselves here with the recognition of national sovereignty, be who you wanna be essentially, I hope to have fun with you in the future!

Gah! I want to make my own national religion but the legislation won't spawnnn; I know Im a secular society but 4% of my population is religious and I wanna write about it haha.

My nation is one of the most irreligious in the whole game and I have two whole factbooks devoted to religion lol
Jaslandia
I've rejected the religion founding issue about five times. My people may be mildly religious, but I perceive it as being privately religious. My country can't be bothered to collect tax or initiate government spending, so they sure as sh!t won't have state recognition of any particular faith.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Yukona
My country is extremely secular and irreligious. No faith schools, churches are taxed, no religious figures in government, no public funding of religion.
Continental Commonwealths
And we looove collecting tax in Nuremgard. All 61% of it. I'm pretty sure the civil servants at the Treasury use the country's tax receipts as masturbatory material.
