Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
The Kabal has determined who we are supporting for the Presidency.
All election candidacies and endorsements need to be telegrammed to either this account or [nation=short]Vista Major[/nation] by [I]June 30th[/I].
Vista Major
Nah, I doubt it. I think I've used Confederate flags on some of my past nations before.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Was just curious. Contemplated for a few moments making a nation modelled after the Confederacy.

Huh. *Looks at his title.* *Looks at the name of the region* Huh. Weird.

Wait....CROSS is gone? Oh.. I almost forgot about that. And regarding PLR's idea of a Discord "Ministry"? I love it. As far as my particular nation is concerned... If you wish to have talks that are political, military, economic, ect.? You must correctly and politely address my current national leader in a telegram.
Jaslandia
Do you know where you're going to be on the map yet?
Russkov Soviet
Yes actually....Assuming said area isn't too large or taken yet.
Where? I'm in China, so if you're near me, I think we should establish relations. Especially since we both seem to be socialist countries.
Russkov Soviet, Yukona
Look at your telegram my friend
Well....The area I'm actually based on (nation wise) is occupied(<--#23). I may talk with him about being a semi-independent state. I'll look at areas near you though.. xD
Friedensreich
You could RP as Vietnam and join [nation=Cantonese Republics] and I in a sort of Asian socialist union :P
Yes... I could, couldn't I? Hmmm... I need to meditate on this for a day.
Friedensreich, Mauricil
Use space crystals while meditating. Oh and whale song. Well song really helps.

Give it as much time as you need. But just know you'd be joining the largest single economy in the RP :P
The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What, think your economy can beat the 22.489 trillion GDP (PPP) Yuk and I have?
And how did you come up with that GDP?
#fakenews
Mauricil
Adding up the GDP of the provinces of China that Yuk and I control, then multiplying it that by the PPP exchange rate for the Yuan.
Or, just simply take the GDP (PPP) of China ($23,194,411,000,000) and subtract the provinces of China we don't have.

It doesn't even come anywhere close to $23 trillion???

PPP is different from nominal GDP. I don't remember how exactly?

The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Aghrabia, Axeldonia, Friedensreich, Magnatronia
....Good thing I calculated my own anyway?
I didn't even notice, my bad.
But, GDP (PPP) is definitely a better way of figuring out the wealth of a nation, because it adjusts for the spending power of its people.
Yukona
Whelp...I'm a WA Member...my Citizenship Application is filed with the Founder...and I'm sad that my map area is taken(<--Will be negotiating w/ owner), but may have another possible spot. ..... A good day was had today, but now its time for bed. Good Night my new and old comrades! (Note: I will be checking telegrams, and NOTHING else in the morning...so if you need my attention or so..send me a telegram..BUT BE PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE...Us Equine Russkies have nasty tempers xP)

Well, looks like we're going back to the 'Nam. *Boards Huey as Run Through the Jungle plays in the background*
Friedensreich, Yukona
This time around, there's no Cold War, US and South Vietnam ;P
Inside every gook is an American wanting to be free. Always remember.
Yukona
Or inside every gook is a Vietnamese person looking to free themselves from exploitation.
Freedom is not dependent on what kind of economic system you use, it is dependent on what kind of government you have. A socialist democracy is equally as free as a liberal one.
How are all my fellow pasty skinned people coping with the HELLISH HEAT?

I don't get the citizenship application and the forum things. Where's the roleplay done and where do you apply?
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Bby, here is the link to do the application for citizenship: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773389
The RPs are done on the offsite forum.
Be also to claim land with the Cartographer.

Ask around if you need more help mate!
Penguania And Antarctica
Am I really that inactive?
I appreciate that. Though the attack worried a lot of people back home, me and my classmates didn't let it stand in the way of having a good time. I would like to come back to the UK some day: There's still stuff in London I want to see, I've always dreamed of visiting the National Railway Museum in York, and I would also like to visit Scotland. And in regards to the Beatles, I did something even better: I bought an overpriced Beatles shirt.
I don't think so. The swastika is really the only symbol that is firmly banned on flags, IIRC.

Oh, and I also went to the famous Abbey Road street crossing and tried to recreate the Abbey Road album cover with a friend.

I wish to reform that as a Former Minister of Foreign Affairs now. Our Ministry's negotiations with Lazarus have been a success.
>>> Construction of embassies with Lazarus has commenced. Completion expected in 3 days 2 hours. <<<

Well, in forums things are more intense and organized. In General it's more of a quick post type of thing.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your grandfather was a great man, and take all the time you need to mourn and do other things.

Hey, Jas! Long time no speak. How are you?
Not well at all, mate! You?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
By the way, you said you want to visir Scotland. You should visit Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Even if the election of said position would be like electing police officers or judges, which could open the floodgates to more corruption.
I'm not gonna say "Vote for me, not him", but it's food for thought.

Whelp, I just spent the entire afternoon making army flags. I've been productive today.

Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the document for Constidor's 2048 character password, so the nation's basically dead now.

Anyway, can anybody here give their opinion on this document?

It's.... Decent?

Wait. A 2048 character password? Like Two Thousand Forty Eight individual characters made up your password?

Please elaborate.
Yes. I'm not joking.

Theres a difference between more democracy and better democracy, and thats coming from someone who's pro-direct...

I dunno man. Seems accurate, if a little short.
Understandable. I send prayers to you and your family. May he rest in peace. (I will work on a memorial in my fact book)

Cheers. We're socialist too but not to the extent you are.
I also have a new one.... Nah. It's actually an old banner, but it works as a national flag.

I like your flag too.

Hey Nurem! I'm pretty good, and I had a great time in Europe. How are you?
Sure. Those are Scotland's two most important cities, so they're pretty obvious choices. I might also go somewhere in the Highlands and see the mountains.
Nuremgard, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Glad you had a good time on the Continent. I am not too bad. Finishing up college pretty soon. Waiting on the grade for my project coming through. That will decide if I can go to uni or not.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city. I'd like to go back sometime. Never been to the Highlands but want to go. Scotland is blessed with gorgeous scenery.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Thank you. Made it myself. (I can make you one if you send me the details)
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Thank you for the offer but I'm quite attached to my current flag.

Oh Nurem - sorry I didn't reply to your TG opened it in a hurry and forgot! I'll respond later, I promise. I have been to Scotland it was called Obann or something, it was awesome my dad is in love with Alba and we hired a huge log cabin on the edge of a loch.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Oban. Never been there but I'm sure it's lovely. Lived here all my life but not explored much of the country. I've been to Edinburgh and Orkney but that's about it.

It was pretty awesome, I loved it. To be entirely honest though I probably wouldn't venture to Glasgow, maybe Sterling or Inverness as my favourite team is Cali Thistle
