Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
True that. Not to rain on anyone's parade or anything, but we still don't know how it will be implemented and who will receive the bad end of the deal. Let's at least hope it will be resolved with everyone's best interests in mind.
I would say it should be mediated by a neutral party (meaning, no US, Russia, Syria, or Iran) that both the Israelis and the Palestinians see as a legitimate authority.
The reason I keep saying bring Palestine into the UN is because I think the UN would be a great neutral party to hold voting sessions over the details of the Solution. The problem with that, though, is that Palestine has not received membership status while Israel in fact does. If both are going to be considered their own independent states after the TSS is agreed upon, then both should be in the UN.
In addition, you and I likely both agree that Benjamin Netanyahu is way more hawkish and nationalistic than he should be. If he is removed from office and replaced with a more cool-headed PM, then the TSS has a fighting chance.
ContComm, clad in a beautiful ensemble of blue, red, and orange, steps forward so that he, on behalf of the glorious country of Canada, shall mediate the two state solution. And it was good. Bearclaws were served and enjoyed by all.
Never fear, my dear Nurem, for we do not mean bearclaws in the literal sense but the delicious pastry everyone loves. No bears were harmed during the making of this beautiful, beautiful solution.

Why did [nation=short]Kivasek[/nation] leave?
He said in the Discord that he had to leave and he can't tell us why - then said sorry. Dunno why, seems to have found another region.

My apologies. Tangshan is just ruthlessly good at free market economics. Any tax collected is spent on only three areas: the police, defence and industry.
That's not what the cartographer told me.
Here is the selfie I said I'd take. Apologies for looking so hideous. I haven't shaved yet.
Warning: look at your own peril.

Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Yea I don't know why your upset? You look fine :)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Just woke up, I'm going to be honest.
You remind me a little bit of Disney Villains, but you seriously look fine. No where near as ugly as you said you were, buddy.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Thanks :)
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Ah, so you admit I am ugly lol. Disney villains? Where did that come from?
Penguania And Antarctica
Nah, I'm saying that you look fine to me, and very good to someone out there. Take me, I can hardly look at myself in the mirror, but Tim assures me that I'm cute/handsome/sexy whenever I need him to.
As for Disney Villain, I don't know, you have an aristocratic look tbh.
Merlinton, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica

Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Aww, thanks. You saying I look inbred? :P Kidding. Cheers.

I think maybe it's in the posture, you look regal and powerful. I agree with Andy tho, I don't know why you were worried :)

You guys are too sweet lol. I did rather like the pose I did for that selfie. Could have been worse. Thank you.

It's not because Continental America took it. Look, I'm very busy; I just finished finals and still am trying to get everything in order. My summer is extremely busy.
Yukona
Well, Cascadia is gonna regain British Columbia and Southern Alaska. United Continental States, you could possibly take that.
My ideal plot would be 90, but that's taken, so I'd really like to keep plot 96.
I wasn't trying to blame you or anything. Ok sure you're doing the best you can.
No, I didn't take it like that. There's just a lot going on RL right now.
Try to compromise?

Nvm, that's Magnatronia. I was thinking it was GNA

85 appears to be open. Just throwing that out there.
You're the third person to tell me that. Thank you. Also, dunno if you saw my message the other day but was curious about what branch of Christianity you follow/preach?
I hope that's a good thing lol
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Tse is non-denominational.
That is all I remember, because he did not get mad at me when I considered throwing Christianity out of Roma.

I'd be willing to move if you want

Taken by Aldwood. However, you could move to Yukon's old place, if you want. I'm not trying to get you to do anything; it's all your choice.

I'd be willing to give Magnatronia 27 if he wants it. Only a 10 mil population difference. And still in America.

It'll inevitably be replaced with something better. It's just a matter of if people want it to be sooner or later.

Someone wanna give me unbiased suggestions on where I'd move my nation if Bax would let me? I'm thinking somewhere in the Americas (so Andy doesn't moan about his lore) and with a population of at least 75 million.

I like the part of his Nato remarks when he mentions PM May, but has trouble finding her in the crowd behind him. It doesn't surprise me at all that he struggles with recognizing human faces.

Woof.

Anywhere but East Asia?
Wouldn't be the first time. I saw one video (I forget the details) where Trump mentions one of his Cabinet secretaries, and it takes him a bit for him to realize that said secretary is sitting at the table right near him.
Continental Commonwealths
Maybe 107 could be combined with either 105 or 108? 105 and 107 if you want to be adjacent to Andy- I'm not sure what your combined lore entails.
I thought the purpose of the new map was to more evenly distribute the land, but now almost all of Russia as well as the Austral-Asia region has since united and dwarf all others. So, I think combining two regions of South America shouldn't be too much of an issue with people.
Here it is. It was actually Rudy Giuliani, who (thankfully) isn't in Trump's Cabinet.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/wheres-rudy-trump-doesnt-appear-to-realize-that-giulianis-sitting-right-across-from-him/
Continental Commonwealths
Bahaha. To be fair, he was probably wearing his Darth Sidious hood and lowered it just in time for the camera to pan out.
Jaslandia
No, that's Steve Bannon. Giuliani would probably be more like Count Dooku, IMO.

Oh come off it, if you wanna move then move, I wont actually get mad ~_~

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
The Austral-Asia region has been united? Since when?
I dunno, boyo. And I should have said Australasia and Indonesia. But they all seem to be united as #9.
The East Indies are independent from Australia afaik. Similar to the German nations, I suspect the East Indies were claimed by someone that was once under Aldaur's thumb in Australia. But since it looks like somebody has moved to Australia (I forget who exactly, I may be wrong), the map should probably be updated so that the East Indies are no longer a part of Australia.
The Union Of Yuktobanian Republics, Yukona
Again, I'm just referring to what the map depicts- #9 seems to show that Australasia and Indonesia are united into a single individual. The population for #9 seems to support this.
It was updated five days ago, but I know Bax is busy so it could be that he has a backlog of updates to make.
Yukona
Don't you dare move away from me you lil bitch boi
90% of my rp is based on you being my neighbor to the south
Why wont we just kick GNA out of his plot since he's never active anyways and combine GNA's plot with Mag's current plot?
