Post self-deleted by Comeca.

Memeber of the Confederacy of Free Nations. and my fellow Citizens of Comeca thank you for attending my State of the Union address. I come forth to not only discuss with the State of Comeca, but to also submit a praposal to all members of the Confederacy.

Comeca was a nation in ruins when i came to power. chaos and war rained suprime. a long and bloody Civil war took place, but we banned together, we rose up from the darkness and brought our nation to prosperity and became a gobal superpower on the economic and miltary stage of the world. This did not just happen over night. it took us many years to get to this point in our nations history. The policies of my Administation have always had the best interest in mind, and we will always continue to put our nation first. but we can not do this alone. So i moved our Great nation to this region. in hopes to expand our economic growth and security. So i come forth with a proposal that i belive will not only benift our nation but the Nations of the Confederacy. what i am praposing is a coalition of economic strength and defence. im calling this coalition the Strategic Defense and Trade Coalition or SDTC. We must ban together to ensure that all our nations economic support for all nations growth is secure and come together to repel all foregin agresstion to our region. This coaltion will help ensure economic aid is given to struggling nations and that the defence of our regions members is meet. This coalition will be our regions version of the World Assembly. this coalition will have more of a impact on our nations policies. we will have open policy discustions, to debate policies that will affect our nations. we will not force any nation to adapt a policy that is discussed. the only reason for this poicy is to assist nations economic growth. the only way we can all grow is to hear different policies and have civil discusstion and solve problems facing our nations in a diplomatic matter. the SDTC will ensure all nations rights are protected even if a fellow member disagrees with another nations policy. I encourge all members to join the SDTC by Endorsing my nation so we can set up embassies for our diplomats to live in. Only together can we rise, we will rise and rise again, until lambs become lions. Thank you and may all of us continue to rise and rise again, until all the lambs become lions.

The states right to govern their nation how they best see fit. The main reason for SDTC is to help struggling nations get information on how strong nations got to were they are.

Our nation is located along Maria Ocean and we will defend our nation at all cost from foregin agression to ensure to safty of our nations citizens are protected. Our goal is not to start a war but we reserve the right to defend our nation with force if necessary .

Theresa May heckled at Tory conference today by a member shouting, "why don't you resign?" He was escorted out to chants of "out, out, out!" from the Tory minions.

Yet they call Corbyn supporters a cult? I guess you cant question Fuhrerin May.

Four Dead In Road Rage Incident After Drivers Produce Assault Weapons

The Issue

Tragedy struck Spanelsko today, as a gunman killed three people in a suburban shooting rampage. The community is united in grief, but divided in opinion as to what should be done.

The Talking Point

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime.

The Talking Point

The children of Spanelsko are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence.

Somehow all of these articles are related.

I will be honest, completely OOC but i thought that it was supposed to be "May the fourth be with you" as in "may the Forth Reich be with you" until i noticed the star wars part XD

edit: as for the force, i prefer the dark side, and not because i would like the Sith... which i do... or because they look better.... which they do, but because i see the Sith way as the better one.

As its not about becoming an emotionless psychopath but embracing the emotions and human nature.

Also just for fun:

Peace is a Lie, there is only PASSION. Through passion, i gain STRENGTH. Through strength i gain POWER. Through power i gain VICTORY. Through Victory, my chains are broken the FORCE shall free me.

And btw i am not really a star wars fun myself, as i prefer startrek, until they destroyed it.

Oh don't worry, i am fully committed to our war crimes although i don't really like Tal Shiar, and at least we are more civilized that the Klingons and our Vulcan cousins.

Also the federation? I am not exactly surprised but star fleet? Really? They don't even have proper stealth and lack good colours for their ships..... like green.... and more green.... and even more green!

(and yes that joke is also pointing on Klingons and the Borg as all 3 of us have green-ish ships)

New poll in Zentari, come and vote!

https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=142076

Hello, all! I just want to say congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) on the birth of their baby boy! We wish their growing family all the best, and we hope this child grows up to be healthy and happy!

That said, while we respect the Duke and Duchess wanting the birth to be a more private affair, we can't help but start up the naming betting pool again. Just like last time, any engine or vehicle that thinks they have a chance throws however much money they want into the pool, and whichever one shares a name with the royal baby wins the it all. Since the baby is a boy, Arthur and Philip are leading contenders, which makes Arthur the Big Tank Engine at Norramby and Philip the Boxcab Diesel very excited. Spencer is also in the running, and with how our Spencer is, I expect we'll never hear the end of it if he wins! Even Winston has a chance at being the baby's name, and I know Sir Topham Hatt's inspection car Winston would be very happy if the royals used his name.

Penguania And Antarctica wrote:May the fourth be with you. Happy Star Wars Day!

Thank you, Peng! I'd say we had a good Fourth. Quite a few of the engines are Star Wars fans, and that includes me and Thomas. We spent the Fourth speaking mostly in Star Wars quotes to each other, and even to the other engines if we felt like joking around with them! Some engines like James and Gordon were annoyed at the whole thing, but most appreciated it and had some Star Wars Day fun of their own! Besides ourselves, Donald and Douglas were particularly enthusiastic!

Donald: Aam tellin' ye, Kylo Ren coods beat Darth Maul in a lightsaber duel!

Douglas: Are ye daft, Donnie? How coods 'at Adam Driver emo bloke beat one of th' most formidable fighters Star Wars has tae offer?

Donald: Kylo has proven himself before. He killed Snoke an' aw of Snoke's bodyguards, didne?

Douglas: Wi' Rey's help! An' Snoke was a weaklin' who we barely ken anythin' about!

Donald: You're nae wrong thaur, Dougie. Unless they explain Snoke in th' next movie, they pure didne handle him well.

On behalf of the Coltsov family, we wish to extend our congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I also wish those engaged in this quite silly "naming pool" the best of luck. And... Darth Maul versus Kylo Ren? I ain't pickin' a side. If I did...That would give either Douglas, or Donlad, an edge in the argument. ^^;

Hello, Percy! The Prince Regent Jason and his wife are also extending their congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And I think after everything he's been through Winston deserves to win the bet, but of course it's up to Harry and Meghan in the end.

Speaking of which, does Percyton have any more Royal Visits in its future? I know Queen Elizabeth visited in 1953, and Prince Charles visited twice (1995 and 2011). Maybe it's time for the next generation of royals (namely William and Harry) to pay a visit to Percyton? *insert wink emoticon here*

It would be nice to have another Royal Visit! Sir Topham Hatt says they're a pain to organize and provide security for, but I think they're quite grand! There has been talks of Prince William coming to visit, but so far nothing has come of it. But, we're hoping we'll get a visit someday: We usually send the royal family copies of our books and DVDs after a royal birth, both as a gift of congratulations, and in the hope that the royal baby will eventually become fans of our franchises and beg their parents to take them to Sodor.

Hello, Peng! We're all doing good, but we have been busy. Especially recently, since Sodor Day was on April 30th, and like usual, we had a bunch of big parties to celebrate! But big parties also means big clean-up jobs. Thankfully Sir Topham Hatt arranged for Billy (who used to work on Sodor before he was sold for not doing his jobs properly) and Samson to visit to help out.

Not only that, but summer is coming up. While summer means school will be out and we won't have to worry about school trains or taking the schoolchildren on special trips, it also means we're going to get more visitors and tourists coming to the island. Still, we should be able to manage it, and I'll try to get on NS as often as I can.

Yeah, every time we tried to teach Billy how to do things better, he just want back to his old ways, so that's why Sir Topham Hatt sold him to a heritage railway. But being sold and working on a heritage railway apparently taught Billy a lesson, because he's been working hard and being a Really Useful Engine ever since he returned to Sodor. Although Billy is still cheeky, and lately he's been helping Bill and Ben play little tricks on the other engines.

The Issue

As waves of pro-democracy protests continue in The Confederacy of Free Nations, with several actually toppling long-standing regimes, your advisers fear the protests could soon hit Spanelsko. An emergency conference has been called to discuss the looming crisis.

This again, really?

The Talking Point

Pro-democracy regime change has been avoided.

I can be benevolent when i am in a good mood, although remember, anyone who is against my regime will be shot!

After disposing of the trespasser, the meeting resumes. “We can’t allow TRUE democracy. Do you really think that the people would pick a suitable replacement for you?” says Björk Obama, your most loyal bodyguard, while sharpening a halberd.

I now wonder, is there a leadership on Earth that isn't somehow related or influenced by me? Except for Ruskov of course. As infiltrating him is way too much of a waste of money.

Gordon: Archie? ARCHIE!?

Percy: Hello, all! Us engines were just discussing the royal baby's name.

Gordon: And not all of us are happy with it! I mean, what kind of name is Archie? It's more befitting a fictional character.

Donald: Isnae he th' main character in 'at Riverdale show?

Gordon: Don't you mean the main character in Archie Comics? Scottish philistines...

Thomas: To be fair Gordon, I've heard Archie is a popular name in England. It may not be that common on Sodor, but apparently it's a very upper-class name on the other side of the Walney Channel.

Gordon: That may be true, but that doesn't mean it's a fitting name for a royal! It's just not proper.

James: And more importantly, it's not in our betting pool! Another royal baby, another ruined betting pool!

Toby: I hate say it, but this may be how it goes from now on. Let's face it: most of us engines and vehicles have older names, the kind the royal family would have used 50 years ago. This younger generation of royals will name their children differently using names that have never been used in the royal family. Names like Thomas and James may still have a chance, but I think this is the end of the line for names like Gordon, Arthur, and Philip in the royal family.

Gordon: *sigh* You bring up a valid point, Toby.

Percy: Still, never say never! Someday we may even get a Prince Percy!

Gordon: Speaking of titles, am I the only one who thinks 'Master Archie' sounds ridiculous?

*all the other engines roll their eyes*

Toby: Oh, don't you start this again!

Percy: Hello, all! Us engines were just discussing the royal baby's name.

Gordon: And not all of us are happy with it! I mean, what kind of name is Archie? It's more befitting a fictional character.

Donald: Isnae he th' main character in 'at Riverdale show?

Gordon: Don't you mean the main character in Archie Comics? Scottish philistines...

Thomas: To be fair Gordon, I've heard Archie is a popular name in England. It may not be that common on Sodor, but apparently it's a very upper-class name on the other side of the Walney Channel.

Gordon: That may be true, but that doesn't mean it's a fitting name for a royal! It's just not proper.

James: And more importantly, it's not in our betting pool! Another royal baby, another ruined betting pool!

Toby: I hate say it, but this may be how it goes from now on. Let's face it: most of us engines and vehicles have older names, the kind the royal family would have used 50 years ago. This younger generation of royals will name their children differently using names that have never been used in the royal family. Names like Thomas and James may still have a chance, but I think this is the end of the line for names like Gordon, Arthur, and Philip in the royal family.

Gordon: *sigh* You bring up a valid point, Toby.

Percy: Still, never say never! Someday we may even get a Prince Percy!

Gordon: Speaking of titles, am I the only one who thinks 'Master Archie' sounds ridiculous?

*all the other engines roll their eyes*

Toby: Oh, don't you start this again!

If it's alright with you, Percyton would like to send a delegation to celebrate with our Equestrian allies! We shall be sending Prime Minister Sir Bertram Topham Hatt and Deputy Foreign Minister Lord Alexander Callan.

So that's the name they chose? Hmm... I suppose if it works for them. And we would be glad to receive your delegation!

Coming to you live from Imperial City Emp: Taylor is adressing the nation

My fellow Comecans, i have recieved new on the status of our the propsal for the SDTC, and they have choosen to remain neutral and declined to support the SDTC. Im here to tell you that even without the support from the Speaker, I am going to continue with the SDTC and contiue my commitment to all of you. THE SPEAKER SAID "The nation is not economically, nor militarily, capable at this point to commit to the proposal." and they have complety missed the point to the SDTC. Our Nation is both Econamically and mitarily Ready for the SDTC and many other nations are as well. The SDTC is here to help struggling nations grow and prosper. I continue to belive in the SDTC and im asking for other nations to join the this commitment to the Strength and prosperity of the confederacy of free nations.only together can we accomplish this. So today im fully pledging Comecan support into the SDTC and ask others to do the same. because together we will rise and rise again, until lambs become lions. thank you

But...I will reconsider the offer, but only because of the promise of a better CoFN. (The proposal will not be sent to the State Cabinet, but rather to the State Department of Defense and the desk of the Leader himself. The deliberations will begin and conclude this Friday, May 10th. The government is unavailable this Thursday, May 9th, due to Victory Day.)

The Issue

The local inhabitants in one of the far-flung colonies of Spanelsko have been protesting about the occupation and their calls for independence have been growing louder. Your secretary has suggested that you take a vacation to this land in the hope that you can resolve this dispute and enjoy some ‘me-time’ in between mediation.

“You cannot allow this occupation to continue!” cries native activist Magnus Garrison over the chanting locals. “Our island was illegally seized by your government. Your military continues to fire shells on practice ranges on our land and deny us access to sacred sites in the name of ‘national defense’! Not only that, but also native Spanelskoans are moving into homes over here and forcing us off our ancestral domains. So please, The Great Supreme Lord Khan, leave this island and restore our once proud kingdom.”

What i hear: GENOCIDE GENOCIDE GENOCIDE

“What do these savages know about running a country?” asks Rear Admiral Meier, as military police in pith hats push the crowd back. “When we annexed this island, it was nothing but a rock in the sea getting by on fish and fruit. We have brought civilization and protection to these people! Plus, don’t forget that this island is paramount in securing our control of the surrounding seas — are the concerns of a few rowdy locals worth endangering the safety of our families back home? Increase the military presence here, so when the locals call us ‘Boss’... they mean it!”

“Now, now, what’s happened has happened,” chimes in Governor Stewart. “However, we do have to consider everyone’s feelings. Families from the mainland now live here and, without government support, this island would struggle to keep basic services running. Instead, you could just give more autonomy to this place, and other territories like it. The military can stay, but we should be able to pass our own laws that also reflect the needs of the local people.”

And this person has just written his own death sentence on the wall.

Vacationing Spanelskoans expect to be treated as royalty.

Not sure if the question was really directed at me, but I'm an only child. Most engines have lots of brothers and sisters, as all of the engines of the same class as them are their siblings, but I don't have a class, so I don't have any siblings. My closest relative would be my cousin of a similar design, No. 1340 Trojan.

A little bit late, but I just want to say 'happy anniversary' to the Railway Series of books! On May 12th, 1945, the Rev. Wilbert Awdry published a children's book entitled The Three Railway Engines, starring Edward, Henry, and Gordon and their adventures on the Island of Sodor. That book started the Railway Series, which launched us engines into national, and then with the television series adaptation, international fame. So here's to a wonderful series of books that made Sodor famous, and the great Rev. W. Awdry who made it all possible!

On behalf of myself and the government of Percyton, I'd like to congratulate Premier Coltsov on his new son. I'm sure he will grow up to be as wise as his father! As we usually do upon the birth of a child of a royal or national leader, my government will be sending your family a free collection of Railway Series books and DVDs of the Thomas & Friends TV series, so you can share and enjoy our franchise with your son when you're ready!

Spanelsko wrote:No russian names? Do i sense betrayal of the motherland comrade supreme soviet?

Arthur: I'd never thought I'd say this, but I think Span has a good point. While I appreciate the thought Premier, you don't need to choose one of our names just to make us feel better over the royal baby betting pool. Trust us, this isn't the first time this kind of thing it happened, and it won't be the last. I think the last time our betting pool actually worked was when Prince George was born, so we had to give the pot to George the Steamroller.

James: Which we were not happy with! Of all the vehicles on Sodor, why did it have to be GEORGE!?

George: Because the royals obviously recognized that vehicles that travel on roads are better than vehicles that travel on rails.

James: Oh shut up! They didn't name Prince George after you!

George: Oh really? Have you asked them?

James: Well, no, but...

George: HA! I rest my case.

5) JOSEF. [I]A nod to one of the former Soviet leaders and the man responsible for our independence.[/I]

And the results should be interesting. Obviously I'd be touched if I won, but it's up to the people of Russkov Soviet, and they can decide whatever they want.

James: That's all well and good Percy, but THIRD? My name is THIRD!? Do these people not know a proper name when they see one?

Gordon: At least your name was included in the top five at all, considering how many names there are among us Sodor engines alone.

Thomas: Also, nice job on potentially creating a diplomatic incident with our closest ally, James. /sarcasm Now my driver and I will need to send a polite letter apologizing to the people of Russkov Soviet over you insulting them!

James: Pah! Everyone's a critic!

2nd: PERCY and JAMES with 32,649,013 votes.

3rd: ARTYOM with 29,478,192 votes.

VLADIMIR has been eliminated from the choices as it did not eclipse 25 million votes before the deadline.

I would also like to thank Thomas and his driver for the apology, but I must reassure that words alone will not damage our alliance.
