consider yourself pronked
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
no worries :p
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Lol. Joining is voluntary. I won't hold it against him if he says no *glares hardly at Lat*
Anyway, the rest of us are good. Building quite the superpower
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh, you mean that land comment. That's land that I already own i.e. Croatia and Slovenia, which Minnie just gave us.

Hey, Selina Meyer!

Has anyone considered a campaign to become the new WA Delegate?
no offense Greater Banitia :p
Vista Major
Soooo mean! Lol
Vista Major
I should create a Scandinavian empire
The rise of Kalmar Union
Penguania And Antarctica
I've been tryna see if maybe I could be WA Delegate for just a day since I joined. I wouldn't endorse literally everyone else in this region who is in the WA if I didn't want their endorsements and didn't want a taste of that WA glory for even a small time.
Vista Major
If you or anyone else is interested, knock yourself out. The WA Delegate has no power, so being WA Delegate gives you nothing except bragging rights (which might still be worth it to some people).
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean, I'm President, so...
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
bragging rights and the ability to approve WA resolution proposals
Jaslandia, Vista Major
All powers that a PRESIDENT can execute flawlessly
Oelesa
Orcala for WA delegate confirmed?
Hey, [nation=short]Killdash[/nation]
Do you wanna build an empire?

Penguania And Antarctica
We should elect
Well, I guess its confirmed then
start end0rsing
Oelesa
Yeah, but most people in the region don't care much about the WA or its resolutions. Still, if you do want to become WA Delegate so you can approve resolutions, you can do that and most people wouldn't care; the only possible exception I could think of is if you start taking consistent pro-raider or pro-defender stances, since that might draw the CFN into the whole R/D game that we're not currently a part of.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
If I become WA Delegate I will legalize the region being able to vote on a a raid
That's changing as we speak
Jaslandia
*hypoventilates*
Jaslandia
please no take it out of context
I stated
Nations can vote whether to raid or not
so its not banned
but the more active nations gotta vote on it
I tend to prefer to not be involved in the R/D game. The farthest I'd ever go in involvement is supporting a liberation of a raided region if the liberation is legit. Otherwise, idrc about the raiders and defenders as long as they don't come after our region.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
thats why I say we vote
This is a peaceful region thank you very much. Peace creates prosperity. I'm not on NationStates to cause chaos and take over other regions. I'm here to help build peaceful community with other people. If people in this region want to raid other regions, they can leave this region and join a raider region. The Confederacy of Free Nations will not participate in raider shenanigans as long as I have any say about it.
Baxten, Penguania And Antarctica
But we're the confederacy of free nations, aren't we? we should vote on every regional action, such as R/D, elections, etc.
also your regional influence is duckspeaker
??
Sulania
lol why should we listen to a person who speaks to le duck
Post self-deleted by Percyton.
I actually talk to a Duck a lot. He's actually very smart and polite, and he always does his work without fuss. Maybe more people should talk to Ducks?

I in no way condone smoking and/or alcoholism, by the way. It's just a way to make my character seem seedier.
Take it from the Prez and Veep. We won't be doing raids, not in this administration. Wanna poll it go ahead bit I'd sooner CTE.

Jotunheim Collective top 5% nicest citizens ! Hell yeah ! I bring cupcakes !

Hey Kiddos!
Friendly neighborhood Canadian!
I need some help with something big.
Great thing is, you can help me through the big,wide world of the Internet!
So who's with me!
Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Maybe?
If it's about the Fall of the House of Usher, I forgot to give you this- http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Poe/Usher.pdf
Penguania And Antarctica
Don't worry, I got the book.
Its about College!
Penguania And Antarctica
Alright, shoot, what do you need?
Penguania And Antarctica
I have no idea!
That's the problem
Penguania And Antarctica
Well sh!t.
Hmm...I'm a bad guy to ask, what with me being in my third year of HS and all, but I know Peng was in Uni in Germany, Sul is dual enrolled (He's a highschooler who goes to college part time) and Jas seems like he's been through higher education?
To tell you the truth, I'm rather empty on info too.
Penguania And Antarctica
I have a whole f!cking list, buddy. I don't know. I have family in Ireland, but the only law school I know of is Trinity
Penguania And Antarctica
To clarify, they could all probably tell you a little (especially that Sully, he's a smart cookie that one :P) but I got nothing.
Penguania And Antarctica
Anyway, I am going to pull my hair out in peace.
And, hey.
Thanks.

You're a junior? Bruh, I'm a goddamn senior: I feel old again :p
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
Hey, ain't that far off old man Tex.
But yeah, I'm just a junior with an oft-complimented voice :P
Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Try a full beard and a voice that sounds like a southern Adam Jensen :p
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
"Now I'mma give y'all to the count of three, 'cause 'ah never asked for this, you hear!?"
Did I capture it right?
I had a beard, but there's this one spot on my Jugular that just doesnt grow hair, so it always looked odd.
Penguania And Antarctica
Sí, though when I get sick (like right now), I sound like one of those old women who serve as the talent managers to anorexic models.
Small discrepancy: I'mma and 'ah are used if you're a Baptist or mocking Southerners :p
Penguania And Antarctica
What in carnation
Tf, Kal's a junior, he sounds like he's a college student.
Swear, if I'm the only college-blind senior here...

1. You can't do that; WA has no executive authority in our region
2. We don't raid. It's against the Constitution, I believe. If you advocate R/D gameplay, you definitely will not become Delegate.

I just made Peng and Banitia tied. I wonder who is going to break it :p
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Just broke it
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Duumvirate for the win :p
Jaslandia, Oelesa
NOOOOOO. Ban is eternal WA. I don't want to be WA. Give him back your endorsement. I am happy with him and me being equal.
Please.
Jaslandia
Might as well have friends in high places lol :p
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
But...you wouldn't be equal. I gotta get off, anyways. I'll endorse him later, but I've got school.
Penguania And Antarctica
Gate's closed. I'll have to wait. But he's been rendorsed.
Penguania And Antarctica
Perhaps I will get involved in some roleplaying. I will not let my terrible track record stop me!

I'm flattered you got that impression, but it's not quite accurate. I've taken dual enrollment classes, but I'm currently a high school senior.

Twitter is blocked at school. I may be able to look later
I absolutely adore the idea of using twitter like this, if only I wasn't lazy :P

AAAAHHHHHH, doesn't it (at least here) not actually do anything?
Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, you are right. But I don't want to be it.
Fair enough

Btw, just an observation, I don't think your flag here and in the forums match? Is that something you should correct?

A message from the Andreallic Outermost College Delegation,
The Outermost college is happy to announce the impending addition of the Jotunheim Collective, located in the new commonwealth of Gaida, into the nation of Andromitus. Here's to future unity, prosperity, and advancement within this new nation!
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Iloiada, Yukona
So lets just say that, I dont agree with the measures the majority of the members decide to implement. Do I have the option to say no or even choose otherwise?
You can say no, but majority rules.
Yesterday we voted to change the currency name from Reichsthaler to Reichmark. The majority wanted the name change so I lost.
Thats why I dont want my sovreignity and self governance to change. The UKL is a true power in Europe and we will remain independed.
We are always open to negotiations with the Reich and its members nations, as the return of the rightfully -our land- is mandatory.
But the UK has its own laws, leaders, culture, religion etc. Something that prevents any unity of our people with your nations.
As the people of our nation have said, the UK is not for sale, but if you guys are okay with that, you can become Latrovian Commonwealths.
I told them you wouldn't join, just don't let this little inquiry damage the UKL and the Reich too much.
Nothing can or will be damaged by UK's side. Reichs member nations are our partners and foreign collegues. Oelesa is one of UKL's closest partners.
It's not your government exectly, but your people that didn't seem happy at all happy with the Reich. Nonetheless you'll find that the Reich is a pretty powerful ally as are you, and we'll need each other to fight H5N8, the red scare, and other world conflicts.
The nation's flag doesn't make much sense.
Oh?
Of course that goes beyond saying that we need to work together on global levels.
Clearly he's referring to Alsace-Lorraine over here.
Wrong time period you say? Oh....
Nah but really, the Reich is hardly able to forfeit the land of it's member.
I requested an embassy with this region as Nations Of Velvet Nine
