Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Thanks, man. I need it. If I don't get them down, I don't think this Conservative government is going to last long lol
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
if democracy fails, far right/left dictatorship is the way forward :p
Or centrist, maybe liberal... potentially libertarian.
Although i am sure that the conservatives can stay in power even with elections.
If not... well i have my ways to help...
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
Yes. I rate nations on a Enemy-Neutral-Ally scale. However, being 'Allied' could range from "A neutral military power, but good relations" to "Brothers-in-arms".
Spanelsko
Such a kind offer lol. But we'll stick with democracy, thank you. Although we do have our own far-right party who would like to empower the monarchy.
Russkov Soviet, Percyton, Spanelsko
I am sure that returning the Tsardom wouldn't lead to a second soviet revolution :p
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
let me guess, we are the brothers in arms?
Russkov Soviet
Did someone say.... [I]revolution?[/I]
Not quite. You are labeled as... -sorts through some papers- a uh.. Hmm... Ah! You are labeled as the "Dagger in the West". I... don't know why I chose that, but... There you go?
Nuremgard how are you a Legendary trading card?
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Ok, seems logical to label me as danger.
So no problems with that.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
It's more of a... "don't turn your back and let your guard down". We did that and look what happened... you invaded. xP
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Hello, all!
First off, I would like to express my condolences to the victims of the Great Belt Bridge rail accident in Denmark. Any rail accident is terrible, but they are especially bad when people die. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Danish railways, and we will be offering whatever aid we can.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Belt_Bridge_rail_accident
Next, I would like to recognize a couple engines. Apparently yesterday was 'Peter Sam Appreciation Day' on Twitter, honoring the Skarloey Railway's cheerful green engine. I'm sure he's very happy about that!
https://twitter.com/hashtag/PeterSamPalooza?src=hash
In addition, our very own Henry the Green Engine will be turning 100 this year! We don't know the exact date (Henry's doesn't remember, and since Henry was first built by thieves who stole Henry's design plans from Sir Nigel Gresley, they didn't exactly taken note of when Henry was finished), but it is a big milestone. From one green engine to another, welcome to the 100 Club, Henry! You'll be joining me (built around 1900), Thomas (built 1915), Donald and Douglas (1909), Stephen (1829), and many other engines on Sodor!
Henry: Thank you, Percy! I may be 100 now, but I still feel as young and sprightly as a spring chicken!
Bill: I think you saying 'spring chicken' disproves your own statement.
Ben: Yeah, young people nowadays don't say 'spring chicken'. They say things like 'YOLO' and 'swag' and 'LMAO'.
James: I don't think young people say those things anymore either.
Bill and Ben: Shut up, James!
Henry: Don't you two have china clay trucks to shunt?
I wonder how Percyton fits into the nudity rankings. While the humans on Sodor have to wear a lot of clothing (especially in the winter), us engines don't wear any clothing at all except for special occasions (like when we wear Santa hats for Christmas).
Thomas: I don't think that's the same thing, Percy. We don't need clothes; we have our boilers to keep us warm in all sorts of weather.
Percy: True. And like me and Douglas both learned, when our fires go out and our boilers are no longer warm, we not only feel quite cold, but we can be buried in the snow. I even grew an icicle on my nose!
https://youtu.be/fpUy7frHc0g
https://youtu.be/gG1qG-zic_w?t=31
Thomas: You did! Although at least it gave James a good scare.
James: Shut up! You little engines are always causing trouble!
Thomas and Percy: *laughs*

Because my nation is legendary. Duh.

At the latest round of meetings between Brancaland and Nuremgard, the feminine graces of one of the foreign female diplomats were notable, and Norsk aides were caught staring at her in every place other than her eyes.
That is freaking hilarious.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
accidentally got myself involved in an arms race, it seems
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Spanelsko
I got that issue too, but haven't answered that yet. >_>
Who'd be crazy enough to go up against you?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
I dismissed it. My rule is I'm dismissing all issues unless they're tax-related.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
I can already imagine how it must have been in Moscow when the first attacked started
*random civilian looks out the window when suddenly multiple explosions go off and what seemed as civilians begin gunning down everyone around them*
And as i have mentioned before, we werent preparing any invasion. We just went along with it since we were found out.
Its surprising that we even managed to get to Leningrad without any preparation :p
Although i do admit that we did move about with our forces at the time before the assault.
*innocently stands in the corner*
Russkov Soviet
Reclassification
Spanelsko was reclassified from Iron Fist Consumerists to an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy.
Spanelsko's Civil Rights rose from Few to Some.
Spanelsko's Political Freedoms rose from Rare to Some.
We have moved on from totalitarian dictatorship to a more reasonable absolutist regime.
It may come as a surprise but i have been working on being more free and nice since 2 days ago since i by accident allowed public protests.
Now we stopped serfdom.
I have been planning to keep this a secret for a bit longer but thanks to the reclassification there is no longer the need for that.
And thus i have decided to change my current approach of the BED "Brutality Efficiency Death" and make an alternative for it. Although both will still be used.
Alternative= SFW "Suffering Freedom Work"

I've half a mind to put a bet on for a no-deal Brexit at the bookies. Make a bit of dosh out of this fiasco.

i am surprised more didnt choose the obvious answer of nukes. I mean really, what problem cant be solved with nuclear annihilation?
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
If the leaders of the USA or USSR did truly believe this, the Cold War and humanity as we know it would have ended a lot sooner.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Thank God for their restraint. Lord knows some people in this Confederacy don't. xP
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Eh, it would have saved nature many years of effort through entropy to achieve that end.

You too, Peng. :)
Penguania And Antarctica
Thank you. :)
How are you?
Nuremgard
I'm okay. How are you?
Penguania And Antarctica
I think were ignoring a broader issue here, bemoans frustrated animator Parker Stonetrey, which is that animated art forms are never taken seriously enough to be considered anything more than kiddie fare. I say that we develop Spanelskos artistic vision and creativity by subsidising adult animation. When people think Spanelsko, they should think Hentai!
Of all the ways in which i wanted our great dystopia to prosper this certainly wasnt one of them but as they say, if you cant defeat them join them.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm doing alright.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Movin' on up! The vaunted Red Army is now the 5th strongest... or should I say stronkest! I am actually surprised.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
It's yuge.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Mercunova
Just to contrast, the PM's military advisors are concerned about enlistment being so low in Nurem.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
That is concerning, given your 32nd. While I can't do much within your borders to help convince more to join, I can definitely offer resources and reinforcements if need be. Maybe the sight of our two armies maneuvering together, with similar flag designs, will inspire some of your people!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Advertise with some handsome sailors ;P
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
A little late, but happy 100th, Henry! It would also be nice if you could spend your 100th year as part of the Steam Team, but oh well. Here's to another 100, you fine engine!
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Well it's not an issue really. We don't need a big army as we don't have an aggressive foreign policy nor do we have any major enemies.
Oh, we already do. Gays serve openly and proudly in all branches of our Imperial Armed Forces. :)

I see your problem, and know a solution, forced conscription.

Question to all British people here:
When was the rule of the aristocracy (ruling over a certain part of the realm and the people living their) abolished in the United Kingdom and how did it happen?
Thanks in advance. :)
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Mercunova
It wasn't so much a one time event. It gradually phased out over time as various reforms passed in Parliament. Many aristocrats are MPs and senior civil servants.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
When did this fading phase begin?
Nuremgard, Mercunova
Serfdom in England began to end in 1381 with the Peasants' Revolt. It had mostly died out by 1500 but came to a total end in 1574 when Elizabeth I freed the last remaining serfs.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Hope all is well! Been busy while on vacation form Middle East haha, Enjoying drinks and food! Glad the Confederacy is Striving!

That's what the Bavarians and Austrians say lately.

literally had the same event but i decided to not show it since it was too dumb even for me :p
although you can still see it in my nation if you scroll down to the part that mentions current events
edit: looked myself and its missing, but for some reason it still mentions how i allowed dwarfs to fight each other in wrestling matches....
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica

Dwarfs wrestling? Sounds like entertainment at a medieval court.

Wait.... Am I reading these right? Or is it the lack of sleep?
-[I]1st in Public Education?!?
-2nd in Tourism AND Economy?!?
WHAT?!? I really have to wonder why my nation is so popular for tourists.. It can't be our pristine white sand beaches or our exquisitely designed buildings or our non-human citizens or our "sci-fi" designed metropolis we call our capitol..... And our charity to the outside world coupled with bustling ports can't possibly be the reason for the massive economy.... I guess the nice guy, or stallion in my case, does win at times. ..... (-clears throat-) A-anyone need some funds for their treasury? Any "Third-world" nations in need of a helping hand? (-chuckles awkwardly-)

Hello my friends. I wish all of you an amazing Sunday. :D
Russkov Soviet, Mercunova
It was a great Sunday indeed. Only one issue arose... Some of my photo data got corrupted and I was forced to clean my hard drive. Its all good, save for NS deleting my flag and forcing me to replace it. I kinda like the design I came up with tho .

To whom it may concern:
Our embassy is being closed due to your region's failure to meet out embassy requirements. We hope in the near future you can meet them again and rebuild the embassy.

I will gladly take your money comrade. Although i am not sure what kind of world country we would be considered for obvious reasons.
And congratulations on your achievements.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
If I understand the criteria for each correctly.... You're about midway between Second and Third. And thank you. Hmmm... As far as the money goes, what is it needed for? (Obviously it has to be humanitarian or civilian, seeing as how your one of the Top 3 Military powers.)
Penguania And Antarctica
Infrastructure, industry, nuclear reactors for energy, transportation means for human resources (humans) new air fields and harbours.
And totally all of this isn't in any way related to further militarisation, totally.

Your proposal for international funding towards your nation has been temporarily rejected. Before we continue, we must figure out a conversion rate for our currencies.
well, that is a good question.... how much an Arma 3 be in your currency....
Russkov Soviet
Pre-war value was: ( 5 EQD for 3.80 A3). Now, after the past conflict and some shifting on the "International Stock Exchange", the new value is: ( 5 EQD for 2.75 A3).
We are the most cultured nation in the region. (Smug)
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
As you should be. I'm fine with 2nd Most Cultured. xP
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Give me few seconds and few nuclear war threats and it can change.
Russkov Soviet
We're both Russian themed so we're both awesome. :P
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Well.... How much do you need in your money to successfully accomplish the goals set? The conversion rate won't affect you, but rather me. (Example: You need a million A3, which would cost me a million and a half EQD.)
This is good.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
I look and feel like a new person. I hadn't shaved or had my hair cut since late 2018. But I shaved on Saturday and got my hair cut today. Look and feel so much better. Still got a sh!tty chronic skin condition but hey ho.

When will the money arrive?
So we can prepare to use it in our next budget month for general humanitarian civilian investment.

You should see it within:
Electronically- 3 hours
Physical Cash- 6.5 Hours
Gold Bullion- 1 Day
Depends on how you want it. xP
The government is reining in public spending >>> taxes decrease by 0.1%.
Wow. Really making cutbacks there, guys.

Someone doesn't want to lose their gold-plated everything.
Nuremgard
Physical preferably.
as ruskov said to the 1% previously, it doesnt seem like much but its literal millions of free money :p
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard
Alright. I'll notify the Treasury to start getting the bills in order and shipped.
Not in NS land lol. My poor are very poor indeed given how much they're taxed.
Russkov Soviet
It took me until after i posted my comment to realise that with your taxes its amazing that no one is starving to death XD
I feel bad for the poor, however i am quite sure that everyone in your nation is below the poverty line even the so called "rich" :p
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
According to the overview page people are starving to death lol
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
(Update:)
Spanelsko, Your cash should have arrived via aircraft a couple of hours ago.
Nuremgard, Foreign Aid is on the way to help those that are starving. Financial Aid is optional.
Also... Will the owner of a cargo ship, registry No. 12-A-6559, please report to the docks at Leningrad. Your ship was found abandoned and adrift 25 miles off the coast. Thank you.
