Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
He is more than capable, a devoted member, a team player, and a loyal friend.
I've ran against him two times, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't want anyone else to run against. When it comes to honorable people he is at the top my my list. He is the best candidate that can unite the region and bring some simplicity.
I endorse Jaslandia for President of the CFN.

Thank you for your kind words, Oel. If elected, I'll do my best not to let you or others like you down.

We have low standards considering the past 2 months.
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm going to do my best to raise those standards, then.

Speaking of elections, Somalia just held elections for the Presidency, and the surprise result was that the former Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed secured the majority of Parliament's votes. Despite the method, looks like the election's the first democratic non-one person election since 1969: now I gotta modify that factbook again.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
That's actually pretty fascinating
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Also, I just moved my main nation and one of my puppets here to the region on permanent residence, though I'm still using this nation for RPing and communications.
True, though the election had to be held at Mogadishu Airport as it is the safest location in the whole country

I mean, alrighty, but remember that they aren't exactly the only raiding ideology out there *glances at the Red Fleet*
Sh!t still as bad as it seemed?
Pirate Kingdoms
If you mean the region, they've taken steps to place a bill against a guy in Parliament (has ties with another region and admitted to still operate for their sakes), and the region still supports that raider region from New Years'
Ugh, on the subject of this dude, why are they against him also serving that other region?
http://w11.zetaboards.com/versutian/topic/30148316/1/
That could explain it: also, I left given the government operates with so few (last election, all incumbents won since no one challenged them) members
Well, sorry to hear that mate, I'll check out the link though, seems like a cool read.

The last letter penned by Mary, Queen of Scots just hours before her death is now on public display in Scotland.
Poor Mary. One of my favourite historical figures and my second favourite Scot.
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Scratch that. Mary is my third favourite Scot.
Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Who replaced her as second?
Jaslandia
Nicola Sturgeon.
Pirate Kingdoms
Makes sense
She's the modern day Wallace, fighting for Scotland's self-determination.
Minus the "Castration, Hung-until-near-dead, drawn-and-quartered and insides cooked bit, right?
Jaslandia
I'm sure Theresa May would have Sturgeon hung, drawn, quartered and disemboweled if the law let her. And the cringing unionists up here would cheer her on and doff their caps like obedient little North Brits.
Donald: A wise choice, mah friend. We'd place 'er in about th' same spot.
Douglas: Second fur us woods be John F. McIntosh, th' engineer who designed us.
Donald: An' first woods be William Wallace, fur obvious reasons.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I beg to differ, Andromitus, I am most certainly NOT a slave state. My citizens are required by law to be employees of the state. That's the reason Magnatronia has a 100% employment rate!

*Checks your claim against the analysis list. Sees your nation is in the 70s for unemployment* I believe that is, what we call in politics, a fib.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
You call it a fib. I call it alternative facts.
Merlinton, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Do I get to choose between the fridge magnet and the key chain, or is my souvenir randomly selected for me?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Truly the most pressing question of our time. The world demands to know!
Merlinton, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
You choose!
Merlinton, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Gosh, I used to think your nation was the epitome of tyranny, but now that you're letting me decide between two predetermined kitschy souvenir options I'm starting to feel like you really care about the needs and voices of your citizens!
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
You know who will keep you safe following a failed claim of one Crown? The monarch of a different Crown you also tried to claim.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Mary was naive, yes. But she believed Elizabeth would respect her sanctity as an anointed queen. Elizabeth was a cow though, so poor Mary was fooled.
I was actually going to say that very thing XD
Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
I don't think Elizabeth grew up in an age that would have reasonably imparted upon her a natural trust for those who could challenge her claim to the Crown.
Well maybe if Elizabeth had not been such a grasping bitch and opened her legs to produce an heir, she wouldn't need to worry about her cousin taking the throne. Because Elizabeth knew Mary had a perfectly legal and valid blood claim to her throne.

Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah, woman! Do your duty and make children- that's why you're here, after all. Did your immoral, loutish, sadistic father teach you nothing?!
And those who posed a threat to the Queen posed just as much threat to any of heirs. Mary's claim was still a claim whether Elizabeth produced an heir or not, especially seeing as support for either faction was deeply fueled by religion.
my god
i just realized i got the name of the region incorrect
shoot me now
wait no maybe this is a good thing
maybe ill be your meme VP
the next joe biden
your move opposition!
(but srsly tho Magnatronia how have you not exploited this yet smh do u evn politic bro)
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
See! "CFN Election", it's entitled. None of this CoFN nonsense. Rev knows what's up.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
If Elizabeth had given birth to her own heirs, they'd have had a better claim to the throne than Mary. The only reason she never married was because if she did, her husband would have ruled for her. And she didn't want that. So it was her own fault that Mary became a problem. Besides, Mary had the last laugh as her son took the English throne so Elizabeth killing Mary was in vain.
Silly bitch.
I am almost certain that Mary did not have the last laugh.
Ludania
Just because she died? Mary's lineage lived on to rule all of Britain. Elizabeth died childless. Her short-sighted desire to hold onto power meant that her dynasty died out and her throne was taken over by a foreigner.
Yup, Nurem. Because she died. In a way that literally inhibited her from ever laughing again as she not only died but her head was actually severed from her body. I'm fairly certain Lizzie managed at least a chuckle between Mary climbing the scaffold and her own death (by much less violent means, it's worth noting).
The last laugh was metaphorical. And Elizabeth didn't chuckle actually. She was haunted the rest of her days and believed God would punish her for killing an anointed queen. Serves her right.
#VM4Pres
Vista Major has proven that he can work with a wide variety of individuals and can work toward the success of our region. He has served in multiple capacities in the past and even serves in the abysmal current administration as the voice of the people. He is not perfect and we have sparred many times in the past but I would never question his motives or worry for our safety under his leadership. I hope you all join me in casting your vote for Vista!
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Rule for 45 years in your own right, have your name associated with an age of prosperity, and be one of the most recognizeble British monarchs five centuries later versus being held captive for almost two decades and have it all end rather violently.
I know which one I'd choose. Especially considering the Stuart's track record. Even if we're talking metaphorically, I'm fairly certain Elizabeth laughed last. Here's looking at you, Charlie boy and Jimmy.
Ludania
I appreciate the sentiment :)
You've got some brown on your tongue there, Con.
And British monarchs didn't begin until 1707. Elizabeth was an English monarch.

Oh? I was going more for playful levity. Who knew it was menstruation all along?! As a guy, do I go to my dad or my mum with questions about this change my body is going through?
I'd go to your doctor. Male menstruation is not a natural phenomenon so I'd have it checked out.
Oh, it's not a natural phenomenon! I pulled out my notes from grade 4 health class, but my handwriting was just atrocious. I don't know how I made v's look like b's, but this page literally has "bagina" written on it at least eight times.
