Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Well.
Considering that no one set up the Constabulary, and Sul decided he'd much rather be a Monitor (We got cookies bro) we ain't got one.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Republic City Police
I see. In that case, I will eagerly await the appointment of a new Minister of Justice, and hope he/she does get around to setting up the Constabulary. I guess I've naturally been filling the role of the regional cop for so long, that I sometimes forget to apply for official status, and I apologize for that.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
Is OK.
Also, all, seeing as I have had a burst of energy as of late, I'll be drafting a set of rules to be displayed in Discord (This is to bring us in line with the Chat Administration Act) soon.

They'll be voted on at the seventh.

Who here is good at making websites? Can you show me how? I'm technologically inept :p
Lavan Tiri, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I mean, I consider myself decent at stuff like Weebly. But that's no more work than making a good factbook. Someone around here must be a real coder
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Just point me to an easy website making site and I should probably be good :p

Hey! The 50's nuclear war part is from my old factbook in arctic states!
Lavan Tiri
Nuclear war is such an excessive concept :P
Lavan Tiri
Yeah, true. But my new nation has a much cooler backstory!

I am glad to inform the public that the Second Administration of the Confederacy has created a regional NS Forum Page that we hope to serve not just as a tool for us to reach out to others, but as a tool, to increase our Inter-regional presence, a tool to increase the numbers of our citizens and as a tool of importance to our Foreign Relations.

In reference to Bear's swing at Vista, I thought it was a joke but I've retracted my like of the post. What's wrong with people, it seems all of a sudden these divides are appearing in places none of us - may be even the people involved - knew were there. Alas poor Yorrick, the region hasn't been the same recently.

Humph resigned for personal reasons (workload related) and Sul resigned because I think he wanted to maintain his monitor role on the Discord following Kal's new policy of not allowing monitors to also hold government roles.

"Seconds ago: Percyton was reclassified from "Democratic Socialists" to "Corrupt Dictatorship"."
Well, that was a fast and unexpected government change. I guess I'll need to be more careful, and maybe then Percyton can become something other than a 'corrupt dictatorship'.

There's a difference between noted and notable. Every human being is notable, even if they aren't noted by others.
Lavan Tiri
I mean, I guess?
The thing is, that's more of a philosophical standpoint though, rather than objective fact.

Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Mdogao
Delicious! Would you call that soul food or cajun? Or something else?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
It's sort of both. Red beans would be Cajun, but fried chicken would be just southern. Other Cajun stuff would be like crawfish and crawfish accessories (like crawfish etouffee) and really any seafood things.

Killdash, Lavan Tiri, Au Minbo, Vista Major, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
What kind of monster are you?
Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I loved it. Better than Force Awakens in my opinion.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm not sure if I would say that; I think Force Awakens had better character development and plot. Still, it's close, and I'd say Rogue One certainly exceeds Force Awakens in terms of action and sheer awe.
Killdash, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I don't want to spoiler anything, but I thought the dialogue was spot on, and there was a more of a Star Wars feel about it.
Disney did very well, but there was very similar shot sequencing to, for instance, the Avengers. I loved Force Awakens, but it was definitely a Disney through and through. Rogue One lacked that.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
Fair enough. I see what you mean. You could also make the argument that due to Force Awakens' Disneyfication, it couldn't be as dark like Rogue One was.
Killdash, Lavan Tiri, Vista Major
However it is excellent to see spilt themes across the main arc and subsidiary stories. It prevents the saga from getting too bogged down in a mono-thematic quagmire.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
Indeed.
Killdash, Lavan Tiri
Post self-deleted by Magnatronia.
Indeed, I'd agree with the character development being meh. Still liked it better than Force Awakens. Rogue One Actually made me want to come back and see it again, Force Awakens didn't.
