Interesting few days on the RMB, hmm?
Well, at least we know that the old fires of discord are still around to keep the government accountable.
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Ahaha, "discord". I see what you did there.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Humpheria Major
Well fvck me sideways. My baby brother has pneumonia.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Humpheria Major, Yukona, Percyton
Oh I am sorry to hear that. May he get well soon.
Lavan Tiri, Yukona
Im sorry to hear that, how old is he?
Lavan Tiri
20 months.
Andromitus, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
How awful! He must feel terrible. I hope he gets better soon!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
He will.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Percyton
Sorry to hear that buddy, glad to hear he'll get better though.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
Awh, poor guy. I hope he's as comfortable as he can be, all things considered. Get well soon, Mini Lavan!

The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Yukona
I don't remember you but hi.
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Magnatronia, Percyton
I'M FROM THE REGION INHABITED BY LATROVIA BEFORE THIS ONE. HE CAN NEVER ESCAPE HIS PAST. AND I'M HERE TO REMIND HIM OF HIS ORIGINS.
Also, I wanna see if you guys have role plays so I can imagine my nation as a dystopian corporate wasteland ruled by the villains of the Megaman series.
Merlinton, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona, Percyton
Nice.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia
[nation=short]Latrovia[/nation] Hey, I finally joined too :D
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Magnatronia, Percyton
Welcome, friends! It's great to have you all here! My name is Percy.
Merlinton, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Magnatronia
*Courteously Bows*
Magna, Merlin, how be you
Merlinton, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia, Percyton
Heeeyyyy!! Andromitus! Dude! How ya been???
Lavan Tiri
Hi Percy! Is there room for an evil corporatist in the forums?
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Percyton
Hey! Faring well, shifted from an Empire towards a more peaceful Technist State, how 'bout you!
Lavan Tiri
Oh me? I'm currently embracing the 80's cyberpunk corporatist philosophy. I actually came up with a name for my army of evil robots (of course): "Protomen". Merlinton'll get that reference.
Lavan Tiri
Of course! There's always room!
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
By the way, I notice that your role play center isn't very active.
That's mildly concerning.
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
We've been very active recently, I think we just need a little push and we'll be on our way...I hope
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Magnatronia
I'd be lying if I said I'm great, but I'm pretty good. I'm excited to be here, it seems like a really promising new region for me, and my old buddies are already here!
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Magnatronia, Percyton
The CoFN has reached 100 nations!
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Percyton
My condolences to Lavan </3 Pray all gets well
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Also, regarding roleplays, y'all better join up on these:
Civil War: http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10061423/3/
Funeral: http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10081748/1/

Lavan Tiri
His conditions improved: they caught the pneumonia early.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Excellent. That's wonderful :)

Also, I'd like everyone to remember Old Lavan, who tried to be both gay and Baptist, was always on the brink of suicide, argued in favor of religion on NSG, and told my trans friend that their identity was wrong.
Now think of New Lavan, who's determinedly agnostic, unashamedly gay, cynical but not suicidal, argues against religion everywhere, and is dating a transguy.
I blame Nurem.
Jaslandia, Au Minbo, Aghrabia, Vista Major, Continental Commonwealths, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Magnatronia
Oh. You guys.
Merlinton, Lavan Tiri, Magnatronia
I like you already.
I'll annex you last.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Vista Major, Andromitus
I'm offended. I thought you were going to annex me last.

Do you vote for Die Linke?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
See, I never got the chance to vote in federal election. I only voted for the municipality council and the guys I voted there were mostly SPD but I knew them personally and think they are good guys.
But I would vote for them I guess.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
With them I mean Die Linke
Lavan Tiri
I'd vote SDP or Die Linke if I was German. I'm surprised the two biggest parties there are Christian.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Two biggest parties Christian ?? You mean CDU and SPD ?

The CDU and CUB (Christian Union of Bavaria?)
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
It's CSU (Christian Social Union in Bavaria). They are basically the same party. Just that there is no CDU in Bavaria, just CSU and no CSU in the rest of Germany but CDU.
So they are the same party.

Hi there.
Lavan Tiri, Yukona
I mean, to be fair, a lot of other people would die if they weren't in Germany, and this is mostly the fault of Intelligence Agencies having the literal bar-none worst attitude towards each other.
Lavan Tiri
Oh! I almost forgot.
UN vote later today(?) on the Israeli Settlements issue, here's hoping for the US to vote yes on putting them down.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Also to be fair, if Germany wasnt so guilt ridden to invite over a million unknown migrants to Europe and then not record or process most of them , then less people would be dead. I think uk intelligence said the other day there were around 7000 terror suspects roaming Germany alone.
Its one thing to allow SOME syrian refugees and maybe some iraqis but why are they allowing Pakistanis and Tunisian 'refugees' and then not even prosessing them.
There is a reason they are called Merkels dead.
Lavan Tiri, Yukona
I think they should allow Palestinian integration into them oposed to just stopping them altogether.
Lavan Tiri
I was dethroned by [nation=short]Greater Banitia[/nation] :(
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Oelesa, Yukona
Most recent terror attacks have been committed by home-grown terrorists but yes, there needs to be more thorough processing and the Middle Eastern countries need to take more Muslims in since they'll more easily assimilate into the cultures there.
Unless they're Shia, then they're f*cked. But there's always Iran.
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Yukona, Magnatronia
Its an islamic problem, thats not to say we shouldnt help but islamc countries and muslims should be taking the lead and the burden from this issue, not us.
Lavan Tiri
The West needs to do its part since it's fighting a proxy war in Syria and is one of the causes for the millions of displaced people.
Lavan Tiri
Werent they 'refugees' like the new years rape last year and the lorrys in germany and france aswell as the bombings and shotings in brussles and paris.
Lavan Tiri
*America and Russia. Dont lump the whole west in there.
Lavan Tiri
I'm pretty sure the Paris shootings were carried out by French nationals. The mass sexual assaults were carried out by refugees, yes (absolutely appalling how the German media covered that. They were "encouraged" not to use the word refugee or disclose the identities of the perpetrators as refugees.) As for the Berlin lorry attack, I don't know who the terrorist is but IS claimed responsibility for it.
Lavan Tiri
Britain and other European nations have been complicit in the bombing of Syria.

So Theresa May wont share her Brexit plans with the Queen. Probably because she has none. But even if she did have them, why doesn't she tell the head of state? I am no fan of the royals but May's arrogance seriously grinds my gears.
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Aetosia
Im sure he was a tunisian migrant. Im sure at least one of the french shooters was a migrant and at least one of the brusles one was too.
It really is disgusing.
Wasnt that after the civil war and ISIS had already started?
Anyway, in my opinion we should be helping the Russians get assad back in power not prolonging war.
Lavan Tiri
I liked her but yeah. She is starting to annoy me too.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
I feel groovy! :)
I am so glad that the second cabinet is finally doing some good job for the region. I am also happy to see that more activity has been recorded in the region.
I would also like to welcome my old ESU-ers, friends and allies from old times. I am sorry to see that your region has been invaded but.. [nation=short]Aghrabia[/nation], I've told you so!
With respect,

I used to support putting Asaad back in but I've changed my mind. We should be supporting the Kurdish freedom fighters. I'd rather not be involved with the conflict at all but if we must choose a side, let it be that one. It's ludicrous that some western nations support "moderates" like IS in Syria but when they cross the border into other nations like Iraq, they become the enemy.
Jaslandia, Latrovia, Lavan Tiri
I didn't think I could hate anyone more than Cameron and Osborne. When May came to power I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I did not like her because she's a Tory but she appeared competent at least. Then I saw her cabinet appointments, the Brexit fiasco and this Snooper's Charter. She is an absolute shambles of a prime minister. A good opposition should be ripping the government to shreds right now but Labour is too busy naval-gazing and still trying to topple Corbyn.
British politics is just an utter mess right now. Then again, twas ever thus.
Latrovia, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Freewire
Its long over due for kurds to have their own nation.
I wouldnt say i support Assad but he is a strict leader and can keep them under control until they reach the point where they can work with a more democratic liberal society.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
Every political party is breaking down and are utter garbage.
#BringBackMadge
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
I agree. The Kurds need their own nation now. They have suffered so much, especially at the hands of those IS monsters.
I agree with you in a way. Countries like Syria need dictators to keep them under control. I think some cultures/countries just aren't designed for democracy. But if autocratic or repressive regimes are to be overthrown, they must be overthrown by the people living under them. People must liberate themselves because when liberators come in, they often become conquerors. And the vicious cycle continues.
Lavan Tiri, Kalaron
I think Her Maj would probably do a better job than this current shower! And I say that as an avowed republican!

Indeed, they just nèd more time and stability and then they will flourish.
Thisgs must be bad. I never thought i would hear you say that.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
I've always been a bit sympathetic to autocracy. If the ruler is just and benevolent, it's the most efficient form of government. If they're not...
