Ah, okay. I suspected it was a property tax, as that's what our municipalities mostly rely on in Canada in terms of tax revenue. As a renter I don't pay into it, but I imagine my landholding agency incorporates it into my rent.
I believe you were a member of our region once before, even serving as a citizen and interim speaker until recently, albeit under a different nation. No?
All the same, I don't see any qualms in having you stay here. We're close to Libertatem, but I'm sure they won't object to one of their former citizens coming here after they've chosen to leave.
But I am curious about your statement that our current President has been involved in the parties of this other region. As we are so close with Libertatem, I'm worried that our chief executive getting involved in the political affairs of this other region could negatively influence our relations with them.

Oh, so we're claiming people now?
Hmm....
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, well Vista has a puppet in Libertatem that is involved in regional politics just as my puppet here is involved in regional politics.
The government of Libertatem is quite aware that the actions of his puppet in no way represent the views of the CoFN, just as you must be aware that my puppet, South Hyder, in no way represents the views of Libertatem.
In that region, he acts solely as a private citizen and I don't believe I've even seen him bring up the CoFN, many may not even know it's him.

My local council taxes annually but you pay in monthly instalments. Even with my 25% single person discount, the monthly payments are a lot.
The bill that made me jump is that the counxil is taxing me from Nivember last year to March this year. I was a studenr then so I should be exempt. Im applying for an exemption but the bill is due this month. If I dont get it in time, Im demanding a refund after I pay it.
To give you an idea, the bill amount they are demanding is higher than my monthly rent!
Okay... Now, is your exile related to the court case in Libertatem that found you guilty of contempt of court for refusing to turn over evidence? I'm just trying to make the connection to the Reform Party that you mentioned earlier.
Oelesa
The Scots were the guniea pigs as usual. The old witch implemented the tax up here first. It was not scrapped as such, just renamed it to the council tax.
Oelesa
Man, the region's so dead.
Axeldonia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
All of that sure sounds like something government would do. And you know what I do about that... *topples statues*

Govs have been giving lip service to council tax reform/abolition for yesrs but the walk never matches the talk.

We're funding a socialist revolution in Vista Major! Alberta and its surrounding Islands are Near-Communist! The Balkans have a Socialist nation in them again! The European Ædenist Branch just gained support from China! Magnatronia is being pushed to the backstage! The Global Socialist Movement is taking steam again!
Mwahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Friedensreich, Oelesa
Your local service charge used to be incorpirated into your rent here. It was called rates. My mun said it was much better. But then that bitch Thatcher brought in the poll tax. The well off loved it as they paid less but people like me must now pay more.

Rule #1 in Politicking School: Don't tell your enemy what you're doing.
Russkov Soviet, Oelesa
No, the problem wasn't that I wasn't turning over evidence. What happened was the Government of Libertatem was raiding regions with less than 10 countries just for the hell of it. Auxorii, our founder, then a Senator and a recent recruit to the army was appalled after seeing this when he was added to the military Discord. He then shared the information, in code, days after the operations, to show the public what was happening behind closed doors. He was put on trial for treason because the information was classified and took a plea deal that involved a temporary banishment of a few weeks. While he was banished, Libiceland and I allowed him to still be a party leader in a separate completely private Discord channel and help guide us in making decisions. When the current administration found out, we were put on trial as this was seen as helping him circumvent his banishment, contempt of court. We were then promptly banned after a court case, even though the words "contempt of court" are never used in the Constitution. Regardless, at the end of the day, we solely believed a democracy ought to be transparent and have no secrets, and we ended up paying the price for it. We knew that if the citizens knew what the government was doing, the government would have to stop doing it, I guess the administration knew that too and beat us to the punch.
Russkov Soviet, Tserra, Libiceland
He's not going back to the log cabin alone ;P
Once he let's his ginger beard grow out, hell yeah man.

1. Isn't happening
2. Basic map information
3. Basic Map information
4. I got your support and we're friendly now so that organization got a nice boost for socialists in the region it resides in because it has "Support" of the Chinese because the Heartland and Chinese are friends.
5. Is happening due to his silence
6. Isn't happening
Rule #2 in Politicking School: B.S. everything and state the obvious and vague
Well it's not like I'm gonna waste my time on a lost cause. As long as I don't see anyone promoting that failed ideology in Magnatronia, I'm good.
Of course I'm silent. There's literally zero roleplays that involve me, directly or indirectly. I'm not gonna randomly insert myself into every role play just so I can play the bad guy.
Hey guys I am LibIceland, coming from Libertatem since I am now exiled there
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Percyton
Americanisation of the region is growing. Sad. :(
Vista Major, Oelesa
Well, as an outsider looking in I'm not sure of the validity of what you claim or the evidence used against you in court. All I'll say is that if what the Libertatem imgur pictures is the extent of the trial against you and LibIceland than I feel you may have been better served representing yourselves pro per.
Vista Major, Oelesa
At least you have this guy, he's all the way from Iceland!

I mean I'm not from America either.
Oh man, I really wish I could have. I switched between the attorney general and solicitor general for years in Libertatem and never lost a case, but the circumstances were rough. I was busy the week of the trial and Libiceland is still working on his English, so Pevv, who is literally the person who called for the attacks that we revealed was appointed by the president to defend us. If you read the case, he talked more about "American superiority" over the British than the actual content that was at trial.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Are you from...Antarctica?
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Phase Two of Katerina's plan involves you :P
Oelesa, The United Providences Of Perland
No it doesn't
Oelesa
Yeah
Oelesa
Nuh uh
Oelesa
Nope.
Germany. You might have heard about it.
Vista Major, Oelesa, Percyton
American superiority to Europe, rather, but otherwise I agree. During 99% of his examination I'm wondering where he's going, and I feel he never arrives there by the end.
Oelesa
Isn't that where all the Germans are from?

Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
4th largest in Agriculture? Jeez, I hope my nation isn't full of German Rednecks, if that exists.
Rather I hope it is full of high tech farming that is 10 times better that conventional ways.
The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
Better 4th than 129th.

4th in Tourism and 6th in Population.

Apparently the nation of Kiribati will lose ALL of it's land to rising sea levels due to global warming. They are already being forced to plan for when their country stops existing. Yikes.
Percyton
Jesus.
Axeldonia
So you're going to sit there and complain that nobody involves you in their RPs and yet when I try to involve you in one you just say no?
So, which is it? You want to get involved in the RP world, or do you want to stay out of it?
The United Providences Of Perland
Hey all. I look forward to being apart of this region and am somewhat seeking asylum.
I hope the President can support our endeavor.

Welcome to the COFN Comrade!
Jaslandia, Auxorii, Axeldonia, The United Providences Of Perland, Percyton
We have an idiot named Donald Trump to thank for that.
Axeldonia, The United Providences Of Perland
Uh oh.. I don't think a right wing populist leaning libertarian will fit in here...
Libiceland
Nah, we're a pretty diverse bunch.
Jaslandia, Percyton, Solla Ultima
As long as you don't insult people, I'm fine with you.
Jaslandia, Auxorii, Percyton
Hey Hyde welcome. :D
Hyderbourg, Percyton
No I'm actually a Big Bernie Bro far from a right wing populist
Welcome! :D I will call you Lib, and you will be my Lib, and you will be mine.
Percyton, Libiceland, United Continental States
Meant me
Solla Ultima
Well Poll Tax isn't Council Tax that's just a fact, Council Tax has bands and is a progressive tax that increases with income. The whole problem with poll tax was that mansion owners paid the same as those in hovels and it just wasn't going to work.
You are as well welcome here. :D
Auxorii, Percyton
I am a centrist. Though I lean right. I think you will be fine here.
*sigh*
Percyton, United Continental States
We have a group of libertarians here, myself included. You and your asylum bros will fit in just fine, regardless of political stripes.
But I'm sure happy to see more libertarians!
Jaslandia, Auxorii, Yukona, Libiceland
Welcome, Hyde! I believe we met before; you were serving your first term as Solicitor-General in Libertatem while I was Attorney-General. It's great to have you here, and I hope you enjoy the CFN!
Hyderbourg, Percyton
*pokes cheek*
Something wrong, dear Peng?

Sadly Libertatem has been consumed by nepotism and corruption.
Libiceland
Welcome to all of you! I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you all like it here! The CoFN is a very lovely place.
Jaslandia, Auxorii, Hyderbourg, Libiceland
I'm paying £120 a month! Doesn't feel f*cking progressive to me!
Yukona
Yep, I remember. Hard to believe it was actually years ago since I was AG of Libertatem. Doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
Hyderbourg
Do anarchists count as libertarians that just take things a little too far?
What country in Europe do you live in?
I'm not sure of the whole story and I'm not aware enough of the situation to judge the region and its administration, but I will say that the second last full paragraph of the President's announcement on the topic of the banishments seemed a little jutted and contradictory.
They count as nothing at all, sir.
(Kidding! Stop building that effigy of me, dammit!)

Pshaw, effigies are so 2005. Voodoo dolls are in now!
Now all I need is a little bit of red hair, a maple leaf, and a bit of Chemical X and my voodoo doll will be complete.....

Friedensreich
Aw man, you didn't see that I was joking with that bit of Spanish right there :'(
Nuremgard, Yukona
I can't read Spanish, dude. I didn't even know that was Spanish.
Friedensreich
"¡No mi matar, por favor!" Means "please don't kill me!"
Nuremgard
Once I read it properly, I guessed that's what it meant but I put it into Google Translate just to make sure.
Sorry for being snippy but it -really- grinds my cheese when people tell me the UK is "my" country or that Scotland is not, or that I am British, not Scottish.
Friedensreich
Chemical X as in... the ingredient that made the Power Puff Girls?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Beat you to it.
That's why I made sure you knew I was joking! :P
I'm not a unionist by any means (Me likey Sinn Fein because they want independence and reunification with the Republic of Ireland), and you should know that about me by now!
Nuremgard
Haha, my bad. I just... why is that an ingredient to make a voodoo doll of me!
Jaslandia
You know
If Chemical X produces such an amazingly strong explosion, why would the Professor use it to try to make Life?
Jaslandia
Yes. Just instead of sugar, spice, everything nice, it's red hair, maple leaves, and leather greaves.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
He didn't; he mixed it in by accident.
Apologies. You see and hear these remarks so often, you forget who is joking and who is not. I also support Irish reunification but if I lived in Northern Ireland I would not be so sure. They have an NHS because they are in the UK but if they joined the Republic, they would not. As I understand it, Ireland operates an insurance-based system when it comes to healthcare. I am utterly against that.
Friedensreich
I'm not entirely convinced Chemical X isn't secretly nitroglycerin.
Jaslandia
Was I criticizing you? And It's not my fault your a Totalitarian Dictatorship (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Friedensreich
Ha! Is this a wild assertion regarding my bedroom life?

C'mon, Kal. The opening monologue is like four sentences long. Pay attention. :P
Jaslandia
So, can I get citizenship here and join a party or? Is there a procedure someone can telegram me about?
I feel like a lost puppy
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Yukona
I honestly have no clue what you're into, so if I guessed right that you were into leather, I must have some sort of sixth sense.
Jaslandia, Yukona
Maybe, but I don't see how an explosive agent would lead to superpowers. Was it some sort of radioactive nitroglycerin? Is that even possible?
First we questioned the science behind talking trains, now we're questioning the science behind the Powerpuff Girls. This region takes the magic out of EVERYTHING!

You can find the relevant info under 'Closed for referendum'. Citizenship applications aren't being processed right now because of an ongoing referendum, but in the meantime, you can still fill out the application.
