Hmm...
Aldaur
Life is what you make of it
Looks similar to the CPK: government is vested within a legislature (albeit bicameral) and head of state/government (termed Governor), though equal representation is implemented (the upper house, the Chamber of the Commonwealth, has an set limit of 3 District Governors, each set for the citizens, tribal population, and upper class. The lower house, the Chamber of Representatives, covers the populace as a whole, but strict guidelines attempt to minimize corruption within the chamber, such as vote buying between higher-populated states and lower ones). Legislation impacts the states as a whole, but lack of a consultative document means that ultimately the constituents are granted high levels of autonomy (the federal government itself only exists as a result of the Code of Unity, at least until its dissolution). Consequently, constituent states tend to declare war among one another, yet foreign conflicts are only declared by the federal government. Further complications also exist between the government and the tribal states, which could closely be described as Bantustans - the federal government has set aside land for tribes in the Commonwealth, yet constituent states are unwilling to co-operate with allocating their resources to tribal governments. Ironically, had we all stayed in Montaris, the Commonwealth would be considered a Not So Different micro-confederation of the MSRM, though the divergence would be between the lack of power of the head of state and the constituents, along with the Commonwealth's defining feature.

It seems you had trouble with the keypad, i see what you were trying to type and i will autocorrect it for you. Thank you for selecting: Exotic butters.
Aldaur
This wasn't helpful at all.
I'm confused if the question, to be honest
I'm aware
If all those races mixed together, which do you think they would most likely look like?
[quote=aldaur;21863031]If Aldauri were a mix of Polynesians, Indonesians, Filipinos, Malaysians, Chinese, Aboriginals, Indians and Arabs, and light skin was praised as being more attractive and attributed to the upper class like in most cultures, of those nationalities, whichndo you think they would like the most?
In my opinion, i think it would be kinda like a Nicole Scherzinger type race.
Aldaur
So polynesian then :p
Id have to agree with Aet.

Anyone here having an opinion on the DIP and how I can improve it ?
Keep doing it! The only thing I could think of is to use spoilers for the three categories (holidays, events, and birthdays) just to make it more concise. But I'm fine with it even in its current form.

*sobs*
So Nicole Scherzinger and the Rock are my people lol
She's like Filipino, Armenian, Korean and German or something i think.
Aldaur
Thanks for your feedback :)
Continental Commonwealths, Tserra
It says she is Filipino, Native Hawaiian and Ukrainian. I am just going to use Indians and Polynesians for the common Aldauri and Arabs and light skinned Indians for highborn Aldauri.
Jaslandia You're approved on the forums
Thank you.
You're the man, Peng! The DIP requires more of a commitment than any of our government offices, and you've maintained it across four regions now. You're awesome.

So, I am still waiting for the religion decider.
What?

I a haven't gotten the religion issue.
Ah crap, I clicked an issue option about regulating the black market and my economy dropped 40 points.
I have... reached my goal.
I have reached.... ANARCHY

Last night - Till late this morning, Albania and Greece were under some Earthquacke shaking. More than 40, 4,5-5,0 richter were recorded. My family and I had to leave our houses because we simply couldn't stand it no longer (We sh*tted our pants). Today it looks calmer, but mini Earthquackes are still recorded. (2.0-2,1 richter high)
Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Nice flag dude! If you have five issues stacked, deal with them all and then have to wait for your next issue, the religion decider can get pushed back. You'll probably get it in the next few issues, if not just report it to the mods - they'll deal with it for you.
Ugh, earthquakes!

I hope you are alright. Take care of yourself.

Thank God we are. No damages have been recorded, just a bunch of panicked people running around.

His main nation is Humpheria Major.
That was his old nation that CTE'd
yeaH, what happened to the humpherian poopet?
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
why did it not exist anymore?
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Probably because he no longer needed to use it since he uses Humpheria Major as his main nation now. Just my guess.

Hello from Italy losers!
I'm sorry, I don't mean that.

Well, I was there 4 months ago, so you're not the first person this year saying that :P
Also, you should mean it. Anyone not in Italy qualifies as a loser

You did a splendid job!
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica
There is a news article titled "CIA is preparing for a major cyber attack on Russia soon".....
What in the fvck!??! Why would you publish that? I swear, it's like our government is fvcking retarded.
"We're going to attack you now"
"We're preparing to attack you on this day"
"We're going to withdraw on this day"
What kind of bullsh!t is this? Just absolutely horrible military tactics. #ThanksObama.....you dumbarse.
Penguania And Antarctica
The bait here is so strong! :P
Aldaur
Yeah, the special thing about secret services/intelligence agencies is that nobody knows what, where and when they do their missions. Seems someone in the government didn't get the meaning of the name.
Isn't it strange that we know about secret services/intelligence agencie when they are supposed to be a secret ?
Aldaur
Because of our threat, Russia told it's citizens to prepare for nuclear war and now we are DEFCON 3, which we haven't been since the Cold War. That's why you just do the cyber attack secretly and act all innocent afterwards like every other normal country.
A little, but there also needs to be transparency and all that. Just not to our enemies for God's sake....
Penguania And Antarctica
You are Canadian?
I see you guys rebooted CFN... Got busy so... Hey all!
Penguania And Antarctica
Welcome on board mate. :) Next stop the forums http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/index/
I'm talking about the United States government and I used the words "we" and "our". So no, I am not Canadian.
Latrovia
Oh sorry I confused you with Aldwood for a second. DEFCON 3 huh, how did you get to that point?
We were at DEFCON 4, US says we're going to cyber attack Russia, Russia said to prepare for nuclear war to it's citizens, the US and Russia exchange military threats, US does not take these threats lightly especially when we are supposed to be cooperating in geopolitical hotspots like Syria or Yemen, so the US goes to DEFCON 3.
I am not worried about being at DEFCON 3, but am just baffled at the stupidity of our government that now makes negotiations with Russia that much harder because both sides are fvcking paranoid. We need a Republican President. Republicans are so much better at foreign policy than Democrats.
The good thing about nuclear weapons is that they prevent war.
Aldaur
The bad thing is if you drop one, the whole world ends. Unless someone's prepared to be the really, really bigger person in the situation
Aldaur
We are also at FPCON Bravo
FPCON BRAVO
Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.
Aldaur
We're at Defcon 5. Like, no one cares about African countries. They're never in disaster movies, nothing like that.
It's like aliens just cruise over and are like "meh" and move on.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
That, or their ships are stolen the moment they look away.

The one who drops the first nuclear weaopn is second who dies.
Aldaur
While you're there, yes.
Jaslandia
As do I. The other contender seems a little Norsefire-esque to me.
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I mean, the candidate the Republicans have isn't really that good either when it comes to foreign policy. He admires Putin though, so maybe Trump will do something. I will admit, though, it'd be nice to have at least decent relationships with Russia. Regardless, I don't think we'll have nuclear war. Putin may be crazy, but he must remember MAD when he lived during that period. He was in the KGB for God's sake.
Aldaur
Trump isn't a Republican. He may be running as a Republican but he isn't one. Hillary is more of a Republican than he is.
I don't think nuclear war will happen either, but the rhetoric makes negotiations that much more difficult. It also just pisses me off that the US always tells our adversaries what we are going to do next. It's utterly stupid.
Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
You're right about that
Yea, I've always wondered "What the hell are we doing?!" when things like this come out.
Aldaur
That is exactly how the entire military community feels, especially since it's us who put our lives at risk for these stupid strategies.
If I lived in the US I'd vote for Clinton. The lesser of two evils.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Congratulations, my dear! <3
Jaslandia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I would only vote for Clinton knowing that Pence will beat her in 2020.
How anyone can still vote for Trump after all the abuse allegations is beyond me.
Aldaur
But still profoundly evil.
Aldaur
Better than Trump.
