I hope all members of the WA will join Ludania in voting against the diabolical notion that the evil menace of Nuremgard be commended!

As benevolent overlord I command every single subject that is eligible for voting on WA matters to vote for Nuremgard. Contraventions will be severely punished. The attempt is punishable as well.

The Issue

An unfortunately botched maneuver led recently to the deorbit of an unmanned government spacecraft over Spanelsko. Intended for a deep space exploration mission, the nuclear-powered probe carried onboard several kilograms of plutonium. While the craft itself burned up harmlessly on re-entry, concerns have since been raised about the possible health and environmental effects of its radioactive payload.

It must have been a sabotage, the Engineers and Scientists of our horde would never fail me, knowing they would be in best case scenario thrown to the sharks. Russkov, you are one of the only nations rivaling our dominance over the final frontier of space.... tell me why i should not suspect you of sabotaging our space program commie?

EDIT:

The Talking Point

Space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Spanelsko

Three reasons actually....

1) We are, to my knowledge, still under a non-aggression pact.

2) Space pirates and minor factions have increased raids into the Sol System, especially around Earth, so you might have been an unlucky target.

3) Even though your engineers wouldn't dare fail you, the ship may have had an unseen flaw due to rushed installation. I would offer to send some of my specialists to examine the ship, but if I'm suspected......

Kamala Harris is absolutely awful. If I wanted her to be president, I would've supported her in the primary, but instead she's an authoritarian race traitor who kept people locked up after their sentences should've ended to milk them for cheap prison labour. I would not trust her anywhere near the Oval Office, and if Biden dies and Kamala were to become president, it would be absolutely awful. 2024 is already likely to go to an even trashier fascist Republican if Trump loses this year because Biden/Harris will be just like Obama and Clinton. They'll claim everything will get better, but then create more policies that screw over the people. Awful Democrats like that are why Trump was a viable option in the first place, because we're tired of garbage. How can you not support Medicare for All during a f***ing pandemic, ESPECIALLY when it has like 70% approval among ALL voters, with generally a majority of Republicans supporting it too!? That is straight up murder in my book. The Democrats have had many opportunities when in charge to do the right thing and they never do! Again, it's a g***amn pandemic, and Democrats would rather protect the health insurance industry than actually finally guarantee healthcare as a right in this country.

I don't think Trump has gotten the boost he needed from those executive orders. They don't do much honestly, which makes sense why they've been fairly ignored by the media for the most part.

God doesn't exist or maybe he or she or they or whatever that arse likes to be addressed does but they're a cya next tuesday if they actually exist. Guillotine God, that stupid little hoe.

The Issue

The ‘Underground Element’, a newly formed resistance force to the governing party in Spanelsko, has begun broadcasting anti-government messages over a network of public radio stations.

First Sabotage of our satellite and now insurgency, i guess its time to prepare for operation Metro Last Nuke......... *stares at Moscow*

Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri

The Issue

Last week a mothballed Spanelskoan nuclear missile exploded deep underground, triggering a catastrophic earthquake in rural Spanelsko. The little evidence that could be recovered from the debris indicates that the explosion was caused by neglected maintenance of outdated warheads, spurring debate over the state of the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

“Really?” objects Sven Elgar of the Spanelskoan Security Agency, startling you as he appears seemingly out of nowhere. “You actually think it was just a malfunction? Why do you think there was so little evidence left? That warhead was clearly detonated intentionally; I don’t know if it was terrorists or spies from one of our rivals, but someone did this, and they did it for a reason. Our primary concern should be with securing our missile bases against sabotage. People may still be scared of nuclear malfunction, but hey - if nobody wants to live near our nukes, that only strengthens national security.”

The Talking Point

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament.

If only we didn't stop Orion in the 60's, since Daedalus (A fusion derivative) could travel to Bernard's Star in just 50 years. And Orion would have already let us have a big orbital infrastructure.

1. At 18, all able young adults are given the option to register with the Emergency Defense Force. In times of crisis, local authorities or governors can mobilize this force. In times of national crisis, the Chancellor can--with the permission of Parliament--activate the National Emergency Defense Force, which does the same on a national level. In times of severe crisis (e.g., the national homeland is actively under attack), the Chancellor can request permission from the Queen to activate the Homeland Defense Protocol, in which every able young adult is temporarily drafted into military service for as long as the threat lasts. This draft can be ended by a simple majority vote in Parliament or by the Queen. However, it's something of a moot point, as the Protocol has never been activated, and the NEDF has only been activated twice due to massive flooding and civil unrest.

2. Yes, but all people seeking to donate blood are screened in advance for illness.

3. 60% of Lavani energy generation is nuclear, 30% is hydroelectric, 10% is renewables.

4. There is the largely-symbolic Monarch, whose only real power is a legislative veto that can be overturned.

Then, there is the Chancellor, who is elected by a nationwide popular vote every 6 years and is in charge of appointing a Cabinet, foreign policy, defense, and the national economy--basically the IRL American President sans veto power. The Chancellor can serve any amount of terms, but most serve only 2.

The Legislature is bicameral: the upper house, the House of Delegates, is composed of 3 Delegates from every Province who serve 5-year terms. The lower house, the National Assembly, is composed of 1 Assemblyperson representing a district of no more than 350,000 people--Assemblypeople serve 3 year terms. There are 516 members of the Assembly and 462 Delegates.

The President is the Head of Parliament and serves to, essentially, keep the Government running: they have broad powers over what legislation to consider, as well as a responsibility for the administration of the Census, appointing Chairs to the legislative committees, and coordination with local and provincial legislatures. The President is elected by the Parliament from their own members and serves a 4 year term with no term limits. On the flipside, the President cannot propose legislation and must impartially mediate floor debates, as well as allowing legislation to pass regardless of their own feelings or opinions if the majority allow it. Along with the President, both Chambers elect a Vice President.

5. There are 5 major parties in Lavan Tiri--major parties being defined legally as political parties with at least 150,000 members in at least 75% of all provinces. There are also regional parties (at least 100,000 members in 10 geographically connected provinces), provincial parties (at least 100,000 members within a province), and local parties (at least 5,000 members within 8 or fewer parishes in the same province). You can be a member in as many parties as you want, meaning many people split their loyalties between a major or regional party for national politics and choose similar provincial or local parties for local issues. Local parties also frequently take seats in the Assembly.

There are also the Free Provincial Parties, based in the Free Provinces of Madagascar, Barbados, Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia.

Due to the large amount of parties and voter loyalties, a coalition system is in place in Parliament. The two dominant coalitions are A Coaliząo de Povo, a left-wing coalition that's been in the majority since 1990, and A Liga Nacional, a right-wing coalition that held the majority from 1945-1980.

The 5 major parties, in order of size, are

1. O Partido de Povo, The People's Party. The oldest political party in Lavan Tiri, it currently holds 78 Delegate Seats and 90 Assembly Seats. The People's Party is center-left and based around free trade and social liberalism. The previous Chancellor, Angelina Cano, who served from 1994-2017, is a member of The People's Party.

2. O Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores, the Socialist Worker's Party. The PST is a labor-focused leftist party based off of Marxist principles. It holds 61 Delegate Seats and 76 Assembly Seats, and Javier Garcia, the Vice President of the Chamber of Delegates is a PST member.

3. A Partido Pela Liberdade e Prosperidade, the Party for Liberty and Prosperity. The FPLP is a libertarian conservative party based around deregulation and provincial autonomy. It holds 58 Delegate Seats and 51 Assembly Seats.

4. O Partido do Progresso e da Paz, the Progress and Peace Party. The PPP is a libertarian-left party, based around pacifism, social justice, antifacism, and anticapitalism. It holds 48 Delegate Seats and 53 Assembly Seats.

5. A Partido Rainha e da Coroa, the Queen and Crown Party. The PRC is a nationalistic, authoritarian-right party based around isolationism, high tariffs, labor unions, and a universal basic income, as well as social conservativism. It holds 40 Delegate Seats and 50 Assembly Seats.

Other prominent parties include:

- Aitihad Alaishtirakiiyn Al'iislamiiyn, the Union of Islamic Socialists. AAA holds 28 Delegate Seats and 51 Assembly Seats, as well as President Aliyah Tezi.

- Al'iikhwan Almuslimun, the Muslim National Brotherhood. A conservative Islamic party based in Algeria and Tunisia, with support in Madagascar and southern Spain. Almuslimin holds 22 Delegate Seats and 37 Assembly Seats.

- Antoko Kaominista eto Madagasikara, the Communist Party of Madagascar. AKM holds 2 of Madagascar's 3 Delegate Seats and 34 Assembly Seats. Suraj Chandra, Vice President of the National Assembly, is a member of AKM.

- Grupo Conservador de Trabalho, the Conservative Labor Group. A labor party based around union rights and social conservativism. GCT holds 13 Delegate Seats and 17 Assembly Seats.

- La Sociedad Nacional Fascista, the National Fascist Society. SNF is a far-right party that's been growing in power since 2013, it holds 8 Delegate Seats and 10 Assembly Seats, including 4 of Sicily's seats.

- Sociedade Cristã para o Progresso, the Christian Society for Progress. SCP is a religious-based leftist party. It holds 21 Delegate Seats and 28 Assembly Seats. Chancellor Christiano Fernao, who ascended from Senior Deputy Chancellor to Chancellor in 2017 and is seeking reelection this September, is an SCP member.

- Alliance Nationale Méditerranéenne, the Mediterranean National Alliance. Based in Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia, ANM is a center-right party based around provincial autonomy and fiscal conservativism. It holds 7 Delegate Seats (all 3 from Sardinia, all 3 from Corsica and 1 from Sicily) and 12 Assembly Seats (Corsica's one seat, all 5 of Sardinia's, and 6 of Sicily's 14).

6. Yes.

7. Only churches/mosques/synagogues/temples can reject employees due to religious grounds. Hospitals, school, orphanages, and businesses operated by religious groups cannot.

8. A panel of 3 judges.

It's in the name. Monarchic Republic.

Basically, in 1823, the Bloodless Revolution happened. The Queen at the time, in order to save her own hide, compromised with the revolutionaries: a near-powerless Monarchy, with privilege limited solely to the Monarch, their spouse, and their children; plus am abolishment of the peerage system. All nobles were stripped of land, power, and title. In return, the Queen and her line stayed alive.

It's not that terrifying.

As a whole, Midasia is governed by an Empress, whose largely ceremonial power is given by the 1936 Treaty of Naboo, the Konsul, the Unicameral Imperial Parliament, and the Supreme Court of Midasia. The Konsul is elected to a term of seven years and can serve three terms total, of which only two can be consecutive. Members of Parliament are elected to terms of three years and may serve for five consecutive terms. Members also elect a Prime Minister who serves as a sort of Speaker.

Midasia is also a union of five Socialist Imperial Republics. The largest is La Republica Sureña and houses Naboo, the capital. Each of the republics has it's own parliament which elects a Premier who heads the Government of the Republic.

The Supreme Court of Midasia is composed of five Justices with one being elected by each republic every six years for up to three total terms.

Basically, in 1823, the Bloodless Revolution happened. The Queen at the time, in order to save her own hide, compromised with the revolutionaries: a near-powerless Monarchy, with privilege limited solely to the Monarch, their spouse, and their children; plus am abolishment of the peerage system. All nobles were stripped of land, power, and title. In return, the Queen and her line stayed alive.

So it is. I never noticed your nation title honestly.

Smart queen.

Midasia wrote:It's not that terrifying.

As a whole, Midasia is governed by an Empress, whose largely ceremonial power is given by the 1936 Treaty of Naboo, the Konsul, the Unicameral Imperial Parliament, and the Supreme Court of Midasia. The Konsul is elected to a term of seven years and can serve three terms total, of which only two can be consecutive. Members of Parliament are elected to terms of three years and may serve for five consecutive terms. Members also elect a Prime Minister who serves as a sort of Speaker.

Well, the Revolution happened in 1823, so many people either don't know or don't care. Of those descendants of nobility that know and care, 82% belong to either the Queen and Crown Party or the Fascist Society.

In Nurem, aristocrats still own land and hold titles but they have no special legal or political privileges. Many are involved in business and politics. The previous prime minister was a nobleman.

Hehe yeah. The Conservative Party in Nurem is split into two factions. There is the one-nation conservatives who are mostly old money and come from the nobility. The other faction are the more Thatcherite cons and tend to be business types. The former prime minister is now the Minister for the Imperial Court, the highest position among all the imperial staff who serve the Tsar and his family.

The Imperial Parliament is based on population, as of right now there are 383 seats with each containing around the same number of people. So, the Republics each have proportional representation in parliament and it would require 100% control of the seats in the two largest Republics to have a majority in parliament and that majority would only be by about 4 or 5 seats. Additionally, the Midasian Supreme Court's Justices each represent one of the Republics, ensuring the republics have equal representation in one branch of government.

Sounds cool but how do you reconcile the socialist government with a monarchy?

Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Midasia

Nuremgard wrote:Sounds cool but how do you reconcile the socialist government with a monarchy?

TL;DR: The Empire was started through democracy, and may, at any point, be ended through democracy.

The Imperial roots in Midasia stem from the Midasian War for Independence in the 1820's. After this, the Colonial Viceroy, who fought for independence, was crowned Emperor by way of referendum. In 1936, just a few decades after the Midasian civil and following the death of Emperor Augusto, the First Socialist Konsul was elected and had the support of the vast majority of the population. The new Empress also had the support of a large portion of people, so the 1936 Treaty of Naboo, which now serves as the Consitution, officially gave and limited power to the monarch, instead of the Monarch giving power to the constitution. With this, the people could voice support for abolishing the Monarchy and pass a referendum doing so, but there hasn't been support for it, mainly due to the Imperial Family's political silence or support of legislation most Midasians supported.

It also sets up a weird situation where, unlike most monarchies, there isn't a class of Nobility, there are no noble titles or special castles. The only "Nobility" are immediate members of the Imperial family.

1. There is no draft. We have every able bodied vulpine serve at least six months in the Armed Forces. They can choose which branch and how they serve, but not always where they serve.

2. Of course! They have the same rights as everyone.

3. We....prefer to keep our newest findings secret. The core of our engine is still only a prototype. For our current set, we have a special isotope that powers a turbine to create power. We also use green energy like wind farms and solar. Being animals in a sense, we do indeed try to respect nature.

4. Hmmm.... To put it simply, it's a mix of monarchy, communism, and ironically some democracy.

5. We don't have any political parties as voting for the Government is usually based on public opinion. The Leader is the more monarchy part... Family only, unless specifically chosen. We feel the whole Democrat vs Republican thing the United States is doing is....silly, to say the least.

6. I.... Will have to look into that. Never heard of it.... Although, our citizens will help law enforcement if need be.

RegionTimeline!Kalaron has no draft since their foreign policy always revolved around getting others too invested for an attack to be profitable, and because Kalaron leverages it's technology over fleshy bodies when it comes to war.

Kalaronians tend to be outcome focused over things like "tradition" and the like, if your blood passes viral checks then they'll take it happily regardless of who you intend to bed.

RT!Kalaron uses mostly VHT Reactors, with a battery system backed by renewables. Post-Shattering!Kalaron uses r e a c t o r s for almost everything because it's cheaper and more mass efficient. Only the least militarized of Orbital Policing Vessels, and a number of civilian craft, rely on Solar Panels instead (especially since our star puts out less light, making it an even worse idea for long voyages than it already is).

I never actually worked out a real system of Governance for RT!Kalaron, but PS!Kalaron is essentially a collection of colonies spread widely across the Solar System with very little order to it. Since the actual nation (and the rest of the planet) got beat into a fine brown pulp, the Colonies operate as one of two loosely joined confederations with little lost love for each other. Only the old Bootstrap Factories (Old, pre-seeded factories that were sent up before Kalaron figured out the Berserker was in-system) really keep the peace with their AI, since they deplore violence and just want the silly organics to rebuild what they had.

Now it's time to answer my own questions:

1. No there is not but you can volunteer for military service. Unless we are in a state of defence were all able bodied men and women between 18 and 55 can be drafted not only into military services but also civil protection like ambulance service, fire brigades, hospitals, air-raid wardens, auxiliary police and so on.

2. Every person being at least 18 years old can donate blood if they are healthy and have no medical conditions that contradict a donation. Pregnant persons are excluded because of their own safety.

3. Hydroelectric, solar and geothermal energy plus one experimental fusion reactor.

4. The head of state is the monarch, currently King Elijah II of the House of Forsberg. His duties are mainly of ceremonial and representative nature. But he can veto a law if he thinks it's unconstitutional. The monarch is ceremonial commander in chief of the Penguanian Defence Forces. He formally appoints the Lord Protector (head of gov) and the ministers. The Lord Protector is elected by the Reichstag (diet of the realm). The ministers are appointed by the Lord Protector. The Reichstag is one of the two house of the parliament. It consists of 517 members and is elected every 5 years by the people. The Reichstagspräsident (president of the Reichstag) presides over the sessions of the Reichstag. He is elected by all members of the Reichstag. The presidents terms are congruent with the legislative terms. In the order of precedence they come second right after the monarch. The second house is the Reichsrat (council of the realm). It represents the interests of the several federal states in the kingdom during the legislative process. The Reichsrat is not elected. Each state has 2 to 6 representatives depending on their population and the state governments determine who is part of the representatives. All heads of government of the federal state are automatically members of the Reichsrat. The Reichsrat is lead by the Reichsratspräsident (president of the Reichsrat). The Reichstags president is 'elected' every year by the members of the Reichsrat. It's tradition that the office rotates among the heads of governments of the states in a regular pattern. So the election is just a formality. So at any time one state's head of government is also Reichsratspräsident. They preside over the sessions of the Reichsrat. In case the monarch is not able to execute their duties because of illness or being abroad the Reichsratspräsident is taking on those responsibility.

5. Yes. There are more than 30 parties in Penguania and Antarctica. However in the Reichstag there are only 7 parties which are the following:

Sozialdemokratische Partei Penguanias / Social Democratic Party of Penguania

Vereinigung der demokratischen Liberalen / Association of Democratic Liberals

Christlich Demokratische Union Antarktikas / Christian Democratic Union of Anatarctica

Nationalpatriotische Liga / National Patriotic League

Partei des Modernen Sozialismus / Party of Modern Socialism

Grüne Ökosoziale Partei / Green Eco-Social Party

Humanistische Allianz des Fortschritts / Humanist Alliance of Progress

6. Yes, every person is obliged to assist people in distress to the best of one's knowledge and belief. Calling emergency services and wait for their arrival is sufficent enough if one is not able to assist in other forms. Failure to do so is a criminal offence punishable with up to one year of imprisonment or a fine. Obstructing people who render assistent incurs the same penalties.

7. They can if the job requires theological knowledge for that job. Otherwise no.

8. Trial by professional judge and 2 lay judges in most cases. Sever cases have 3 professional judges and 2 lay judges. Higher courts have a panel of 5 to 7 professional judges depending on the crime and the specific court.

>Laura Dern

I don't know her, lol.

>Krakatoa Eruption

Well, I don't have all the details right now, but it's always amazed be to consider the amount of energy that goes into the daily activities of planets and stars. I've said it before, but a Fast Blue Transient is an event where a star violently sh!ts out up to 20% of our mass as relativistic jets and bursts of energy. Whether you're an Astrophysics or Weaponry nerd makes no difference, that's fjcking cool.

>Nihilism V Absurdism

I've grappled with them both, and I can say that Absurdism isn't a different thing so much as an outgrowth of Nihilism. "Pure" Nihilism is so rare because it's hard to put it into action, if there's no meaning at all (even personal reason) then there's no reason to eat food that makes you happy over some sawdust that you found on the ground. I'd argue, then, that Nihilism is mostly a transitory phase to things like Absurdism since it adds a "but" to the original argument of Nihilism.

Really the IQ-240 move is to embrace being absurd so much that you gradually lose bits of your own wits like Roland. Or you can just believe in the Orbiting Berserker like I do, owo.

>Military Industrial Complex

Ostensibly none.

The US has a long standing urge to pull a hot-take out of it's butt, dismantle it's MIC, and then Just In Time (Tm) surge money back in to create a good industrial base before the war ends and fifteen years pass. After that, the Hot Take Urge takes over again and we return to being as little prepared as possible.

The issue is that this thinking is so old it's actually become akin to a foundation for how we view most frankly vital industries. COVID, for instance, strained what little PPE we had left, and despite the clamoring to use the Defense Production Act (Signed in 1950) there was difficulty in surging the amount we had because the industry for it was a part of the MIC and got defunded just like it in the most recent version of the cycle.

Another issue is that having a big MIC isn't actually a real problem. The problem is what happens when specific companies get too big for their britches. If you have seventeen different companies capable of producing fighter jets, you still have to be wary of corruption but can generally trust that the companies will perform their job fairly competently (if only because peeving the Government off means less contracts in the future. When we defunded the MIC for the Peace Dividend...that just killed 90% of the companies we had and let the remaining ten percent absorb their broken shells. This meant that we had practically one company per production role (Lockheed makes Fighters, Boeing makes transports, BAE makes....etc) with obvious deficiencies since they're led by Business Majors who'd prefer to cut slack from things like "Supply Quality" over "Managerial Incompetence". They also, of course, experience the full brunt of whatever funding surge we send thereafter, making them reliant on large contracts, which leads to the usual "MICs are bad for peace!" arguments.

Finally, space travel was probably only possible because of the US and Russia throwing sh!tfits at each other, and as someone who hopes to one day leave this cursed planet, that's important.

TL;DR if you want to fix the MIC replace the leadership with a higher mix of Engineers to BMs, break up some of the assets of the Biggly Companies, and keep funding the little ones you produce. You'd have to actually stand them up at first and it won't be cheap, but we won't have a rotting industrial base either.

E: Oh and very carefully avoid the Hot Take Urge.

When I started with the Nords at Sargot, the Swadians were weak but the Khergits were destroying us. Later... I tried a new game starting in Praveen, but I joined the Vagirs instead. We were weak, the Nords were killing us and the Swadians collapsed in a month. -shrugs- You never know what you're gonna get

so god of RNG :p

in my campaign i started in the lands of Vaegirs and joined them, the only real enemy i found are Nords which decimate my AI comrades and the Rhodocks, since rhodocks have a ton of veterans with anti-armor weapons (i fight head on in melee with +50 swadian heavy body armor) and because we share only 1 common border with Rhodocks they usually stay together so i can't pick them off 1 by 1.

Ironically the way i learned that cavalry is incredibly overpowered is thanks to how i started the game. I recruited some common peasant bois and went around killing raiders/rebels etc. I ran out of money and was in debt in the first week of the game. So i decided to abandon all morality, and honour and burned down half of Nordic villages as i found out that they have TONS of red velvet and silk, so i was cassually before becoming a vassal of Vaegirs running around with army of 80 Elite Mercenaries and good 20K denars to spare :p

I was quite lucky with the amount of cav dudes i had and noticed that they decimate enemies, after that i focused on making my army 100% cavalry only. Day 450 and i have more renown then our King XD plus i own Narra and Halmar so 12K denars per week :]

1 odd thing tho i noticed, not sure if i am just lucky or this is normal. The AI seems to love declaring its vassals as traitors and banishing them to other Kingdoms. In 1 week i saw about 10 people get thrown out of their respective kingdoms. In a single week.
