Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
It's gonna be the best thing since sliced memes, folks!
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I see. I was wondering why Front Command went from "we are still landing troops via helicopter" to "the city is cut off".
The 11th and 15th Divisions are still pushing to the capital, with the 16th Division on reserve. Unfortunately, enemy resistance is heavy. We've only been able to make around 2 miles since yesterday.
I'll send the 9th Division to assist your offensive, and the 14th, 18th, and 22nd Divisions to push south to secure the flank. I'm also increasing the numbers of dispatched fighters. We have air superiority and I intend to keep it.
Lavan Tiri, Spanelsko
You guys do realize you could do this on the Confederacy General, correct?
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia, Cesorion, Spanelsko, The West Country
Thank you, i have also as you have likely seen sent you a report of the situation overall.
We will be pulling some of the southern forces north, and as we mentioned this conflict was going on for few months. ALL of our remaining force along the entire line is 369.000 with the enemy outnumbering us in most places 3-6 to 1.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Right. I'll have to wait til I get home. Can only open some pages while at work.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I have no clue where the general is.
I can try to look.

They're not dead, for God's sake.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Mercunova
Can you see them?
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, The West Country
Well, NS-dead at least.
Lavan Tiri
Is that another way of saying that they finally have responsibilities that make it impossible for them to waste their time on NS?
Lavan Tiri
The assumption I made was a reasonable one. It's unlikely that Oel or Verrick died.
Lavan Tiri
That's one of the many options. Possible alternatives are:
- Moved to an area with no Internet connections
- Became Amish
- Became a mole person
- Became obsessed with finding the lost city of Atlantis
- Actually found Atlantis and is now living there
- Became a Force ghost
- Joined the crew of the Starship Enterprise
- Began a quest to master all four elements and defeat the Fire Lord
- Coma
- Literal death

Hey guys have any of you ever seen Lavan and Jas in the same place? I think they're the same person too!

Impossible. Jas is incapable of swearing.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
The Jas on NS is different than the Jas on Discord.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes and no :/
You can apply but we can't add any more teams until we have 16 teams just because of the way the double elimination works if you want to submit an application, I'll put your name on the list and hopefully by August when we do Basketball, we'll have 16.

Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Midasia
Good to hear, i was worried that might be spreading propaganda, or doing sabotages as here in Spain its more or less common to blow stuff up or recite one of the few rivalling ideologies.
In other case i was also worried that they might not work according to your standards, considering how they were used during all our civil wars, by now i think we had like 9-12 in 2 years. Not sure myself, or why we still even survived as a nation. I am starting to think that the only thing we ever achieved is to kill each other for the dumbest of reasons.

Thank you.
Also my question to you my comrade.
OOC how did my civil war become something like an RP? I hope you know that i am not in the official RP :p
Not to mention it was/is based on my conflict with New Salvatore (thanks to Nuremgard)
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Probably because I joined in the war. xP
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Yep, which was something i didn't even expect as i was just bored when making that thing since i randomly saw your post about visiting us while i was randomly checking my puppets :p
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri
You are one of my allies, and Spanelsko was in danger of losing the capital. To Facist hoardes no less....
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Spanelsko
I am still thanking you for that, however i don't exactly remember us signing and military pact did we? The only thing i can remember was being part of the i think it was ´´Iron Union´´ with Hand and Congo. Before it was dissolved.
Also i did think that the whole Spanelsko's zombie invasion of Russia would still be on your mind great Soviet.
Also long live our new Soviet Dictatorship! (small change in the name)
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri
It's nothing. While we didn't officially sign a military pact, I help my allies as I can. Whether this is military or economic wise. Just look at Sodor! If Percy hadn't allowed my naval units access to his shores or troops to be stationed on the Mainland, then his land would be raided heavily by those Scandinavian privateers. And The Z-War? Bah. We fought hard and died gloriously. Not much to be mad at.
Glory to the Soviet Dictatorship and the Equestrian Union!
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Percyton, Spanelsko
>That flag
Don't put yellow on yellow REEEEEEEEEEEE
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Spanelsko, Midasia
I'm abandoning New Salvatore so I can use a nation with a similar theme but better name: Sagrada Iberia
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Spanelsko
Hello Anarcho-Syndicalist, how are you? Also got problem with my colour choice?! Not that i really care.
Interesting.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Some of your engines have been a bit mischievous and cheeky, but thankfully none of them have blown anything up or committed sabotage. And while they did have some difficulty adjusting to a peaceful and busy life on Sodor, and a few of them have some trauma left over from years of war in Spanelsko, myself and Sir Topham Hatt have still been very impressed with their work. They do great job on Sodor, and when they don't have work to do on Sodor, we'll sometimes loan the bigger ones to the Mainland for a little while so that they can keep busy.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Spanelsko
Just put a red circle around it or something so that it's actually visible plz
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Depends on the part of Discord you go to. However, the 'no swearing' part is true everywhere.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
I wish I could change that. I'd like to hear how you really feel about things :P

He took that and started burning stuff.
But I was like, it's okay to be curious about it and read it like anything else, but just remember it's all a bunch of nonsense. I guess that means burn stuff.

I will only say that in Greece you cannot vote without ID.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Fair enough.
Do you think I should change the pre-title of my country Shazria from Exalted Empire to Persian Empire? Should I change the people's descriptor from Shazrian to Persian?
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
In my opinion Exalted sounds better...
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Should I change the descriptors of the citizens to Persian? Or would that be too confusing? I thought it could work because the people of the Netherlands are called Dutch.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
It can work I think
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Great. Thank you.
Lavan Tiri, Cesorion
Well, over here you get a polling card via mail which gives you date, opening hours of the election and the location of the polling station you have to go to. At the polling station you give your polling card a member of the election board. They will browse the electoral register for your name and mark that you were there (to check if the number of ballots is consistent with the number of people who voted). If they are uncertain of your identity they can request an additional official ID document (ID card, drivers licence, passport). If you can't or don't want to provide such ID they must deny you.
(§56 Section 6 Subsection 1a of the Federal Election Ordinance pursuant to §52 Section 1 Subsection 7 of the Federal Electoral Law)
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Cesorion
You are given a polling card here in the UK but you don't even need to take it with you to vote. You just tell them your name and address and they cross you off the list. But if the governments implements this ID system, the current setup will obviously change (and not for the better.)
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
ID documents are a neat thing imo
Lavan Tiri
The concept of carrying ID cards or something similar has always been alien and intrusive to the British.

Oh that's weird. I voted earlier today with my polling card and that went ok. Didn't have any other form of ID on me.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Maybe your area isn't running a trial. It's only a select few councils doing it right now.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Cant say I know of that happening to be honest. Of course voters should provide ID thats only sensible
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
It's stupid though. There are people who have voted for years being turned away today because they didn't have appropriate ID.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, The West Country

And not for the better. The thought of living under this government for years to come makes me despair.
