Well and ye?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I'm doing alright. Thank you.

Been almost a year now
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona, Percyton
Ooh, very nice! :D
Ah that's sad, is there no way to get them to return?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Glad to hear it! :D
Uh.. how come?
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Hmm. Rather disappointing... any hope of them returning?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Probably not, my lovely.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Ah that's a shame. Would be great to get the band back together!
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Your Majesty, Emperor Everest, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My nation has a thing for charity, so if the Equestrian Federation can assist you, don't be afraid to ask.
Everestopia, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Welcome back Everest, been a while.
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Good day. I wish you all a wonderful Sunday. And I hope it doesn't get as hot as over here. :)
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Percyton
Hey! :D
How're you?
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
I shall keep that in mind :D
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
32°C/90°F in a room is too hot. I hope it cools down before I need to go to bed.
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Mercunova, Percyton
Where are you?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Germany. Near the city of Magdeburg.
Everestopia, Nuremgard, Mercunova, Percyton
Ah okay, I assumed Europe... as we're having a heat wave. I'm in the United Kingdom :)
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Hope you had a great Sunday too! :D
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
In actual words comrade coltsov means that Equ Federation has a thing for getting ripped off :p
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Interesting take on this :P
Penguania And Antarctica
The Issue
After the Spanelskoan Forestry Department started its controversial program of controlled fire - intentionally setting parts of forests aflame to remove fuel for larger wildfires - a fire started by the Forestry Department got a bit hotter than expected and sparked an evacuation of Northwest Askana.
WTF was i doing???? i dont remember doing that option.
The Talking Point
The Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire.
Excuse you?
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Your Father Comrade Coltsov gave me economical support for no reason.
OOC even if we did lie to you about needing help XD
Sorry for not answering sooner, i was writing literally for an hour an RP article on another region.
EDIT: its also nice to have a free day once in a while, but i can tell ya, tomorrow will be terrible :p (no time for me on NS or steam, as i have quite a bit of work to do)
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
I'm very confused right now.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
So, my freaky darlings... how does one go about applying for Citizenship when the Cofn Office Of Internal Affairs has fallen into oblivion?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
you would have had to here to understand what i am talking about, which reminds me i didn't really properly introduce myself before.
I am Spanelsko, some call me Span, IC psychotic genocidal dictator of Iberia, CCSA, Venezuela, Northern Norway and possibly in future Quebec.
IRL, just a random guy with asperger and pessimistic view of everything. Also i have a very dark sense of humour.
and i have no clue who you are, but its obvious that you were here way longer then me :p
this is my second year in this region.
Is there any point in doing so?
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona
Well, either way it's nice to meet you, Spanelsko.
Everyone calls me Evers.. please feel free to do the same.
I'm a long time member of precursor region "Commonwealth of Free Nations" which I was lucky enough to serve as Chancellor for a couple of terms. I've known the guys here for years, some sadly no longer with us. However, these guys are great, and what we / they have built here is amazing.
I can't help aid in the rebirth and rejuvenation if I'm not a Citizen.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
You can always come to my other region if you like which is more active. Or make a puppet nation for it.
Everestopia, Penguania And Antarctica
Thank you for the offer, maybe. However, for now I can't let this region disappear.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Fair enough. I keep Nurem here out of habit.
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Aha, fair enough :p
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Mercunova, Percyton
Very nice to see you back though. Hope you're a more permanent fixture here again.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Percyton
Yeah. Next I'll be running the joint ;P

Welcome to the regionHivemind-837!
We hope you'll enjoy it here! :D
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Hivemind-837, Percyton
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
And welcome to the CoFN, Hivemind-837! My name is Aleksi Coltsov, the current Leader of the Equestrian Federation.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Hivemind-837, Percyton
Hello and thank you! After receiving a bunch of telegrams after reviving my WIP nation, I settled on this one (because i liked your flag, name and the region name). Still pretty new to NS, so bear with me. I just skimmed through the constitution and roleplay pages, i'm not quite sure my nation fits here, especially when it comes to the roleplay, does near future technology count as modern tech? Does my nation breach the constitution in any way (such as cruel and unusual punishment)?
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Considering that I'm basically in the "Star Trek" Age? I believe you'll be fine with your tech. And it will depend on what your nation does for punishment.

The Issue
Nicholas Condor, a prominent Bigtopian activist and soapbox orator, caused quite a stir last week when he publicly called for the complete extermination of the people of Spanelsko, accusing fellow citizens of being sub-human, immoral, and really ugly too. Citizens Against Intolerance, a pressure group aiming to reduce social inequality, has demanded that the government put more resources into combating hate speech. Coincidentally, another society, also called Citizens Against Intolerance, has stood up for Mr Condor, claiming that inhibiting his speeches would be a violation of his right to free speech.
And there are still people who wonder why its our national policy to send sub races of humanity to death camps. -Supreme Khan of Spanelsko
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
The Talking Point
Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner.
Reclassification
Spanelsko's Civil Rights rose from Some to Below Average.
ideological radicalism score went down for some reason, then again knowing my nation hate for others is our norm :p

It took a few months, but the Equestrian Terrestrial Shipyards has launched a new Slava-class cruiser earlier today. The Aleksander was built in honor of the deceased former-Premier Aleksander Coltsov.
(Spacecraft are built at the orbiting Federation Space Docks or FSD)
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I hereby invite the Alexander to travel to Jupiter Station on her maiden voyage to strengthen our peaceful cooperation in space exploration.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Percyton
And she would be glad to make the voyage. We're nearly finished assembling the crew to serve under Rear Admiral M'Ress. One of the few ship captains that was originally not part of Equestrian Starfleet. ^^
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Evening all, how are we? :D
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia, Mercunova, Percyton
Not bad. Just having a read of the Guardian (I don't know why tbh lol I detest a lot of its politics.) How are you?

Hello everyone! I have a few announcements to make.
First off, Happy Fourth of July/Independence Day to Americans out there! As I've mentioned before, Sodor has quite a few American and part-American engines and humans, and they usually have a celebration for the occasion. This year, Sam, Caitilin, Connor, Rosie, Porter, Hank, Philip, Timothy, Dustin, and the narrow-gauge engine Stanley will be gathering at Great Waterton Park with their crews and the American ex-pay-tree-ots on Sodor for a BBQ and celebration! I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun!
Gordon: Ugh! It's 'expatriates', Percy.
Percy: That's it! Thanks, Gordon!
Percy: The other thing is a couple days ago, July 2nd, was the birthday of Christopher Awdry. Not only is Christopher Awdry the son of Railway Series creator Reverend Wilbert Awdry, the very same son whose case of the measles inspired the Reverend to first tell our stories from Sodor, but Christopher also wrote 16 books of the Railway Series after his father retired. We're very thankful to Mr. Awdry for writing about us and continuing the book series, and we wish him all the best! Like we do every year, we all pitched in to get Christopher a present, and we hope he likes it!
Everest! Good to see you again! How are you?

The Walking, Talking, and Irritated Dead
The Issue
Seven years ago Oliver King went missing after a yachting accident, and has since been declared officially dead. However, he recently re-emerged and came back to Spanelsko. Despite showing up in person to get his death certificate reversed, he found he could not do so. His mortician has come to complain to you on his behalf, as corpses arent allowed in the building.
You know, maybe Jill Negan is on to something, says your Minister of Necromancy, Tabitha Cheswick. Maybe we should create a task force of legally dead people to eliminate dissenters. We can deny their existence easily because theyre all dead, and if anybody tries to blow the lid off it, theyll just sound like a crackpot who believes childrens stories!

Sorry if i won't be much active these few weeks, i am rushing infamy in Payday 2 during my free time and those 25 hundred lvl's won't grind themselves XD
Have a great day everyone! :]
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Very nice. I'm good. The newspaper of choice for me is The Daily Telegraph.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Glad to see you're well!
I'm good thanks!
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh Jesus lol
Everestopia, Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri
No worries bro! I know how the grind feels, considering that I've got plenty on my plate on FFXIV. Have fun and remember to take breaks!
Also... Happy Day of Independence you capitalist bastards. ^^
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Hmm... I hadn't noticed that. My "regional influence" is *Negotiator*.
Country 1: -makes threats towards Country 2-
Country 2: -makes bigger threats towards Country 1-
Random Nations: -call for mediator-
Equestrian Federation: -looks at Country 1 and 2- Either we work this out.... Or the Red Army will be on BOTH of your doorsteps. ^^

I wish all Americans a happy Independence Day. :)

I like the Daily Express.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
They're even more blindly nationalistic than The Daily Telegraph.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I have used them as references in uni essays before.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I know. I don't really read them. I just said so to mess with my dear Nuremgard.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans! May Uncle Sam leave gifts of freedom and liberty in your stockings tonight.
Everest! It's been so long! Good to see you again!
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Quite the opposite in mine I'm afraid. xD
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I am a bit surprised you play that, i used to play WOW for a bit so i know the pain of MMO's ;p
As for breaks, yeah after my death wish 2 hour mission i really needed a break XD (i mean it literally me and a friend were doing 1 mission 2 hours without failing)
Have fun in FFXIV soviet. Also have a nice independence day Americans.

The Issue
A group of bearded militiamen have recently declared rural Josh Flanders County a sovereign and independent nation! Talk radio pundits in Spanelsko are demanding immediate government action.
Govmints not workin fo folks round here, says Gene McCarthy, a turnip farmer, We have ourselves a guar-un-teed right to form a govmint that works for us. We dont want any confrontation, now, we just want to shake hands and let yall get along with yer business while we get along with ours.
I cant believe this! shouts General Bill Sherman. This is tantamount to treason! Our political system would collapse if whole territories were allowed to leave at any time. It would be chaos! I propose that you let me take care of the problem... permanently.
The Talking Point
The government violently suppresses separatist movements.

It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce today the wedding of His Imperial Highness Grand Prince Aleksandr Petrovich to his wife Lady Anastasia Mikhailovna. She shall hereby carry the title of Grand Princess and the style of Her Imperial Highness. We wish the new couple every happiness and blessing in their marriage. The country is holding national celebrations and a national holiday has been declared.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Spanelsko
The Penguanian Royal Family sends their dearest and warmest wishes to the couple. May their path always be guided by the light of the stars and may the future bestow upon them all the happiness and adventures their relationship has to offer.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
Is Nuremgrad is Monarchy or Constitutional? Depending on your answer we might or might not send assassins for practice missions to take them out.
May they live a happy life together.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
We're a constitutional monarchy.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Spanelsko
Been playing it since 2013. ^^
On behalf of the Coltsov family, and the entirety of the Equestrian Federation, we congratulate the couple on such a blessed union. May the Lord grant them a wonderful life full of peace and prosperity.

So Hunt would deny indyref 2 even if a majority in Scotland wanted it but we've to leave the EU because it's the "will of the people." Interesting interpretation of the concept of democracy there.

[B]The Issue (#1,015)
Vlad Leopold, the despised Tasmanian war criminal and international fugitive, was recently captured by the Equestrian Home Guard* while in hiding just outside of New Mareskov. With members of the international community wanting to see justice, the question of jurisdiction has arisen.
(* The issue actually states your demonym adjective before 'police'. So it would be Russian police in my case.)
[I chose Option 3]
[I]This arrest was the finest moment of my career, and also a big moment for Russkov Soviet, counters Lucy Wiener, the national police chief. Leopold slaughtered a few Russian volunteers in the Tasmanian Civil War, so we can rightfully try him for murdering our own citizens. Everyone can whine all they want, but the fact is they couldnt catch him. We did. Its our sovereign right to try criminals captured on our territory.
[B]The Result
The justice of Russkov Soviet is considered superior to that of other nations.
(Its more like... I caught him, so... my soil, my laws.)
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
That it has, I am doing quite well to be honest. Not on the rmb much these days however.

Welcome to the Confederacy of Free Nations, Mr. Ward. My name is Aleksi Coltsov, the current Leader of the Equestrian Federation. While this region is not as lively as it used to be, I do hope you find a home among us. A number of nations, RP wise, have benefited from the generosity of my Federation. Feel free to ask for assistance if you request it.
(I apologize for such a late response. Being busy irl AND the Leader of such a powerful nation can be overwhelming at times.)

For the EU4 players, the tell of the Saddest Ottomans i ever saw (happened yesterday actually) (i am poland btw, with Serbia as vassal after collapse of the Ottomans)
its year 1520, Ankara and Constantinopol both fly the Flag of Christiandom, Balkans have fallen to Poland and its Ally Venice, with some lands ruled by the Orthodox serbians.
And southern half of Anatolia has been overrun with the Mamluk hordes. With the Ottomans essentially becoming a punching bag of everyone and about to die.
What happened? Few things, Mamluks defeated Ottomans in a war, but halfway into the war Venice declared war on the Ottomans using their weakened state to gain stuff, thanks to the personally trait in venice i was notified and looked south with the idea in mind as to what the hell is Venice doing??? And then i saw how bad it was Ottomans. I decided to abandon my plans of finishing off the Teutonic Order and join in on the fun. Resulting in my conquest of Ankara and Constantinopole. With the Ottomans now at war exhaustion 20 and -3 stability they have collapsed into a peasant civil war. And then genoa (3 province minor) invaded them and WON! alone, with army of 8K. Venice also joined in on the fun again i think 1 year before Genoa made peace with Ottomans.
the next 15 years were spent with another invasion of Venice and its League, my second conquest, Serbia invading and taking large parts of Balkans. and Mamluks also going to Ottomans again.
So now the Otto bros are nearly wiped off the map, on IRON MAN with their Janni's active during the war that ruined them.
Press F for the Otto bros -Spanelsko
This was copied from another of my regions, i just wanted to share this sad tale.

Equestrian Federation - August 2019 Plan of Action
-[Increase Military presence on Sodor] While the garrison at F.O.B Pegasus is quite large, boasting roughly 6,000 troops, the Kremlin has considered plans to make the base and subsequent port a major naval instillation that would see personnel increased to 11,000.
-[Planetary Relocation?] A EQF starship came across a potentially habitable planet. The planet and location are classified, but Russian military officials are debating on whether to move to this new world.
-[A Fragile Peace?] While many smaller nations and factions have come to blows with the Red Army over the course of 2018, a few threats still remain. Peace treaties have been signed throughout early 2019, but demonstrations and signs of military buildup have Russian military officials planning preemptive attacks to quell potential insurgencies before they begin.
(Other smaller plans are on the books, but these are the most important due to the scale of change they might bring about.)
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
This is your regular reminder that I continue to exist.

The Issue
After Dàguó implemented a social credit system, in which the good and bad deeds of citizens affect a score which determines various rewards and punishments from the government, politicians are pondering the plausibility of using such a system that rates your citizens based on their actions.
Why implement a system that rates your citizens when you can have the citizens rate the government instead? whispers a mysterious stranger as retro music begins to play. That way, the old, drab officials in their drab suits can just be fired by you and replaced with more qualified people with more street cred.
And thus we are taking our next step on our path to our version of Enlightened Totalism
Have fun with your plans Soviet, however there are few things that are raising a lot of red flags when it comes to your actions. More soldiers on Sodor, the place close to the heartland of the master race? Not to mention its significance during 2018 when we had our war, which we nearly won if the rush for Moscow succeeded together with the campaign of Leningrad. Considering your words of Red Army clashing with small nations its not hard to imagine one of them being us, thus your preemptive strike could very well be targeted at us. Even though Iberia is a fortress and hell to live in our significance in international terrorism and world crime is significant (looks at TCaDs)
Additionally your build up of additional ships is obvious attempt in our eyes to combat our space fleets and counter our as of yet unrivaled power over Saturn and Moon.
Thus i have declared full scale mobilization of all of our forces and our nuclear warheads are pointed at Moscow. Give me one good reason not to have our own preemptive strike to neutralize you.

No worries. I've been here before, a few years back. Quite a few familiar faces- some absent friends. I appreciate the welcome.
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
One good reason? Hmmm.... Well, I suppose I can try to explain the situation a bit better.
(The Base on Sodor) - While it is primarily a naval instillation, its purpose is more varied than one would think. In addition to holding wartime/peacetime fleets, the base will be used for a refueling point for transatlantic convoys, cross channel traffic, cruise ships, and a International Coast Guard base.
(Planetary Relocation) - The planet we seek is not in our solar system (Sol System), so the only reason more and more Federation ships will be present is due to the building of numerous transport ships.
(First Strike?) - Ah yes, the Iberian Aggression. To be honest, you are not a "small" nation and have been off our list for some time. Only a fool would dare brave the near inhospitable land that is Iberia. Most of the "nations" we seek are mostly terror cells and what have you that think they are powerful enough to be recognized as full fledged nations.

The Talking Point
Heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors.
Btw Spanelsko plans on opening its borders completely, in the near future if possible NS. To both the outside visitors and those who want to escape our land.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri
Your reasoning sounds plausible, i give you the benefit of the doubt but we will remain partially mobilized for the next few months. And we fully understand that our land is even worse to fight in then nuclear wasteland but i still doubt that you would prefer to see us alive, much less expand. Considering our world conquest campaign in the future. Which include's your inevitable invasion and our final victory over Bolshevism. Even if it might take few years or decades before we are ready for a new world war.
Among some small news we are also opening our trade markets again, and relations as we have for the most part achieved our Autarky.
Russkov Soviet, Lavan Tiri
In 30 thrilling encounters, Spanelsko has never defeated Penguania and Antarctica.
Level Penalty: -4 pts
Your level is 4 lower than Penguania and Antarctica, which will make this challenge extremely difficult.
I hope this isn't how its going to end up with my world conquest XD
