It's an important role and an interesting step into the workings of our government.

The Wyoming Peoples Front wrote:The beautiful thing about the American Federal system as it was originally envisioned is that if say California wanted to be a full on socialist planned state with state held land trusts and the like, they totally could. And right next door Nevada can be an anarcho capitalist union with corporate bargaining, legal everything and protectionist trust laws and there is absolutely no reason that they can't be represented on the world stage by the same United entity as a Cubano-Jewish oligarchy in Florida, sporting no minimum wage and thousands of golf courses and resorts.

I mean, there would still be some Federal Functions needed. Like, the EPA and the Military would both need to be centralised and the EPA would need a ton more power over the states. What happens if a full capitalist state is up-river from a socialist state, and the cappy state dumps toxic materials into said river, after all?

Hello all! I have good news and bad news!

The bad news is that Henry has had an accident: he was pulling a heavy goods train over Gordon's Hill when his trucks start pushing him down the hill. Unfortunately, the brakes on Henry's brakevan weren't working, so Henry couldn't slow down, and he crashed and derailed as he rounded a bend really fast. Edward soon came to clean up the damage and help Henry to the Steamworks, but Henry's repairs will take some time.

The good news is that, while Henry is out of service, an old friend is coming back to Sodor to help out: a big red tender engine named the Flying Thistle. The Flying Thistle is a cousin of the other Gresley engines (Gordon, the Flying Scotsman, Ryan, etc.), and Gordon is particularly close with Flying Thistle. The Flying Thistle visited the Island a couple times in the past to help with work, but it's been over 20 years since his last visit, so we're all really excited!

A bullet train! I've been fascinated by those ever since I first heard of them. I've dreamed of one visiting Sodor, but I'm not sure if the tracks on Sodor are built to handle high speeds like the bullet train's.

Andromitus' democracy is a shining example for the world, and I only wish peaceful transitions like those in Andromitus happened more often. We wish the new government the best of luck, and look forward to working with them in the future!

Henry is having terrible luck lately. It was a little less than a year ago that Henry had his accident at Vicarstown while taking a goods train to Bridlington on the Mainland. Of course, that was the train I was meant to take after Henry's accident until cheeky Thomas stole it. Thomas then went to the Mainland with the train, he got lost, and all the events of the Journey Beyond Sodor movie happened.

Thanks, Russ! It was a serious accident, but not too unusual on Sodor; the Steamworks is well-equipped to take care of Henry, and he should be out in 2-3 weeks. Henry wasn't going to participate in the Great Russian Classic anyway, but I appreciate the gesture. Plus, it'll give Gordon and the other competitors more time to prepare, and more time for you to get the track all ready. How's that going, by the way? I know you mentioned a little while ago you were having some trouble with the tracks for the race.

The tracks are ready. Our primary concerns at the immediate moment are Henry and those blasted pirates. We managed to lead them away, but mistakenly led them to a vital base. A few relatively minor attacks happened, but we're locking parts of the country down due to infiltration rumors.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I would offer the Percytonian Navy to help, but unless the pirates come near Percyton or threaten Percytonian-owned vessels, I'm afraid we don't have enough ships to spare. However, Percyton would be willing to help in other ways if needed (intelligence services, base of operations for anti-pirate forces, materials and resources, etc.).

"A recent poll has suggested that many ordinary people don’t consider national leader Percy the Small Engine to be very ‘relatable’. Your advisers are perplexed as to the reasons why, and have suggested that taking up a hobby might boost your ratings, as well as tell the people what sort of person you are."

"Flat-cap wearing Heritage Locomotive Enthusiast Mario Coulson snorts in laughter at the geekiness on display. 'You’ll be wantin’ a proper hobby: model engines, to show yer love of craftsmanship, and of steel, steam and smoke.'"

Considering I'm one of those pieces of 'craftsmanship' and 'steel, steam, and smoke', do I really have any other choice with this Issue?

That is what the supreme Court is for

I mean the EPA didn't even exist for the first nearly 200 years of our Union and states managed to settle problems and pass protectionist laws concerning water rights, it only became necessary for the Fed to step in once they (the Fed) had already created a huge slue of laws and regulations which protected businesses from individual and state action against them.

I should have it in my Ædenism Factbook but I'm too lazy to check;

The First Wave Movement argues that Ædenism to achieve its goal should be started through the fires of revolution, that through international politicking, schemeing, and flat out war, the Ædenist Union should fund ædenist Insurgencies globally.

The Second Wave Movement argues that Ædenism is a natural process, that scientific advancement will quick literally force its views to be implemented globally, leading to communism. It cites nations such as Kalaron, Tserra, Oelesa, and Sulania as prime, non-revolutionary examples of this procedure in action.

I was going to post my thoughts on the Las Vegas shooting, and about the many mass shootings in America in general, but I think this Onion article summarized it better than I ever could:

http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/shooting-isnt-about-gun-control-we-refuse-pass-its-57095

TL;DR: People often blame mental health instead of guns for mass shootings, and while I would support such reasoning if it meant actual reform of America's mental healthcare system, it never does: It's often just used as a convenient deflection for people who otherwise wouldn't give a monkey's behind about mental health. If we're going to blame mental health for mass shootings, let's actually do something about it, eh? Especially since mental health reform is a legitimate issue in its own right.

It is true that people blame mental disease as an easy way to explain the reasonings behind mental disorders, but frankly I think both camps- z.B “guns are bad” and “he’s just a whacko”- are wrong.

I agree in the sense that I think neither is entirely to blame. However, I think both play their part in various ways, and it frustrates me that nothing is being done on either of those fronts, and nobody seems to be doing anything to even try to reduce how many mass shootings we have.

And i didnt say i will invade anyone only prepare defence and ways to do a great counter offensive in case of a hostile action done by a fascist regime (like you) or some other form of bourgeoisie dictatorship.

More or less how we see others= Socialists, anarchy or commie = good

Adenist= stupid commie that needs to learn the right ways of Marx.

Equestrians = W.T.F.? since we have no idea what their government is

Monarchy, fascist and right all together = bourgeoisie dictatorship that oppresses the workers. (totally not hypocritical)

Penguins and sentient trains? interesting thing but not sure if bourgeoisie in disguise or not.

However, I think both play their part in various ways, and it frustrates me that nothing is being done on either of those fronts, and nobody seems to be doing anything to even try to reduce how many mass shootings we have.

Not gonna lie, last year I had a history class debate where we focused on mass shootings and how to solve them.

My solution was common sense gun regulations and regular mental health checks (paid by the government, of course) and target hardening of all major social structures (IE: Schools, Hospitals, Major streets, Stadiums) while theirs was...change the narrative about the shooting so people don't get too frightened to function, notably saying that a police officer armed with a carbine would keep them thinking about the chance of a shooting or bombing.

I've never felt more like Nurem than when I had to hold my tongue there.

Well it points out the fact that every time i see you write you talk about weapons..... tanks... and how you make money out of that, or at least from what i remember great puppet.

In our union we even have special name for your nation, ´´the nation that takes love of weapons to extreme´´

Correct me if i confused you with someone else.

As for Axel, do you think i the great dictator care about being probably 100 years behind with no chance at resisting the Adenists? I have proven that Andy and his puppets are nothing compared to insane leadership.

Yeah, that's the kind of thinking I was afraid we would develop if this kind of stuff keeps happening, and I'm saddened that it's already starting to appear; we shouldn't just grow accustomed to this kind of stuff and focus on 'changing the narrative'. If this goes on, I think the window for acting is closing on us.

I've noticed NS now removes some options from issues to cater to your nation's specific culture. E.g. if contraception is banned, the police will find contraception in a secret illegal stash. Or if drugs are illegal, they'll find drugs etc.

I just got an issue called "Where's The Love Gone" and usually there is an option to legalise gay marriage but because I already have marriage equality, that wasn't an option.

I have noticed that pattern, but I've never noticed it with the "Where's the Love Gone" Issue; I always choose the gay marriage option, and yet I still get the gay marriage option the next time I get the Issue. I'm guessing some other Issue choice I'm making is unintentionally un-legalizing gay marriage (I'm sure you can relate, Nurem, since you've had that happen with other Issues like the death penalty).

Nuremgard has a pacifist foreign policy so we barely need weapons or an armed forces. But when we do require weapons, we buy domestically.

We appreciate that, Kal and we love ya. But the Socialist government sees defence as a strategic industry, so we prefer to buy from our own manufacturers instead of from foreigners. Although since Nuremgard and Kal are buddies, we might make an exception. :P
