What else was there. If you don't mind posting it here, that'd be cool. I'm honestly curious.
I do mind posting private communications actually.
I've also deleted the TGs as well, so that makes it two.

Spring Break was a month ago over here, but on the plus side, Good Friday means we get a holiday today :p
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah spring break was a while ago here in Oklahoma. School was also out today, but I am not sure why.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Same for my school district; Spring Break is long over, but we have today off for Good Friday.

We are pleased and honored to be accepted into O-HOPE, and, furthermore, we [I]hope[/I] for a bright future together.

Episode V.
Reason: Bad ass battle of Hoth.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Then I'll sustain what I said earlier, because what I told you was that you need to (and yes, I used the forsaken d-word, demanded) that you lift the embargo, and told you that you couldn't access the Suez, followed by you sayong you controlled the Mediterranean and European trade, followed by an "OK" from me.
That's what I remember, at least
UK Gov: Prove to us you were raped so that your child can be exempt from the benefit cap.
Compassionate Conservatism in action, folks.
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah, as someone who was in this from the start, I remember this the same way as Bax.
Can I still provide them weaponry, or ask for their assistance in the event of war if I am an observer?
As an observer you just agree to recognize the O-HOPE organisation and respect the decision of the signatories to be neutral.
[...] State powers who do not wish to be subject to the articles herein described but who wish to recognize the validity of the neutrality declared by signatories may be deemed an observer by the same process. [...]
- Article IV, HOPE Charter
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
what did he mean by this
I understand that, however, would I be able to privately ask them to intervene should a defensive war on my part occur?
Example: Kalaron continues it's habit of peaceful trade, a nation unhappy with Kalaron's refusal to trade decides to invade. Would Kalaron be able to make alliances with certain O-HOPE nations before this point if the only point is to defend each other?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
No alliance with a signatory because a signatory decided to be neutral. By assisting you they would violate the charter because they would choose a side, in your example being on your side. What you do with other observers is up to you because they aren't bound to the charter.
[nation=short]Continental Commonwealths[/nation], [nation=short]Percyton[/nation] please correct me if I am wrong.
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
Article VI of the charter to be more precisely defines this.
You can read up the charter here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=786458

Aghrabia, Continental Commonwealths
Ah, alrighty.
Yukona, Percyton
Nawh, Peng. You have it exactly right.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
At least one thing I can do right.
And then he decides to be a hypocrite again...
Kalaron
Hey CC. Did you get my TG?
Hey, least the ITF and the Reich got our point across.
Like the EU shoving their fist down Britain's throat, we made it known that we look after each other.
Anywho, most of the embargoes will drop by tomorrow, and we'll be all-set.
Aghrabia, Yukona
I have new amendments that I'm gonna propose soon, but the Reichstag has to approve them first, since we're one member.
[nation=short]latrovia[/nation]; On the CG Region, I've talked about how I've lifted the digital embargo, although TCaDS's UKL membership dropped, so all digital neglect is still active within his nation.
By the way, the reason that the UKL misses out on those weapons is the same as what I told TCADS before:
Bax and Unf are different in many ways, but both are sensible in RP typically. If I approached Unf with a concern on the statistics of his military I would receive the same type of response I would get with Bax, they would be open to hearing my concerns and would -depending on the validity of my concern- change the stats accordingly. The UKL, however, is different in that when I attempted to inform you of the flaw in your military -specifically, that you had ten carriers- your response was to complain of Flynn's military and inform me that it was "none of -my- business"
It makes no sense for me to arm the UKL if I understand full well that said arms would be stockpiled and/or used in a manner that would be irresponsible.
Oh?
Since TCaDS was the newest Commonwealth a lot of projects have not passed and integrated in his nation. After a week or something TCaDS is an independent nation.
The 17 Global Goals have been presented and passed equally today in every parliament of the United Kingdom. The UK and it's people welcome every nation to help and contribute equally in the realisation of the 17 global goals:
https://twitter.com/ukl_gov/status/853227810701365248
United Yugoslav States
I can try! I love these goals! The first solution to stopping and ending a issue is realizing there is one!
Penguania And Antarctica
The UK will held a Global Meeting, inviting all leaders to step in and discuss how we can make our world a better one for everyone. We hope your nation considers joining in. :)
Penguania And Antarctica, United Yugoslav States
I think we all want those goals, but how are we to achieve that. Not every nation is committed to following that (even though most nations don't even have actual problems)
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, United Yugoslav States
We plan to organise it as a convention or something. Where nations can step up and talk about which global goals they support the most and how we can increase them in their respective nations. I believe that even the greatest nation has problems as well.
United Yugoslav States
I know every nations have problems, it's that most of them (myself included sometimes) ignore them or YSL their way out of it
United Yugoslav States
I think I will Attend! Even though only Croatia is in the new Yugoslavia, I vow to get back the rest from 95 Map #! CURSE YOU 95!!!
Latrovia, Aghrabia, The Vidnoye
Minnie? Yea, I wouldn't invade here. However, she was willing to give me Croatia; you can ask if you could have her spot. Can't say she'll agree, but there's a chance
United Yugoslav States
...
What map be you looking at, boyo?
There be nothing at 95 other than these sceevy sea-dogs.
United Yugoslav States
I know once i had a spot in a region were a spot was taken so I was a country in exile. I waited until they died or left. I can do that if you want.
If you wish to do that, you can. However, I would ask if you could possibly have her land first. If not, then that's probably the best idea/
United Yugoslav States
Oh sorry. I am looking at the longitude and latitude of my precise land claims on a map of the balkans. You otherwise know it as #13. Oh well! Guess thats what patience is for! I am very patient!
Yukona
I will probably try and do that. I am terrified because they claim Croatia as well...I am terrified of nations bigger than me.
Eh, don't be.
They can't invade you unless you agree to it.
United Yugoslav States
Ok good. My military is basically non existent so I will need to build it up with the crapy weapons I have! Gotta love 1990's tech!

Actually, if he follows Tito's lead, he won't ally with Russia. Democracy may be the best option.
United Yugoslav States
Who said Tito is in charge?
No one, but if I was a Yugoslavian communist, I'd definitely follow his lead.
*The Democratic Party has been banned is all way shapes and forms*
*Public Elections will no longer be held*
"Socialist Woman's Party"
I'm not even going to ask how that fits into a "classless" society.

I thought yalls government abolished the Capitalist Party https://twitter.com/thesirmida/status/850439303259987968
Authoritarian socialism? Well that's not good.
No. You no get to vote. Voting is not outlawed. You can vote for people withing communist Party if you want! :D *Whispers* if you dont I will personally put you in the Gulag...
We did, they don't get votes but are represented.
What...that doesn't make sense.
In the Minnesotan Constitution the abolition of a party means that in Parliament, the party will get seats but no votes. The party will also not send a candidate for election.
United Yugoslav States
I could grasp the latter, but what's the point of being in Parliament if they have no say. And what if they make up a majority?
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Oelesa
You should ban all other parties that aren't loyal to the Communist Party! If they aren't loyal...MAKE EM!!!!!!
Minnesota Dakota
They can ask the Premier to allow the party. The Premier doesn't have to say yes.
So is the Premier always Socialist?
I'm really interested in your politics.
Mostly.

Oh no! Communist Party is being lowered in party Popularity! MUST GET RID OF OPPOSITION!!!

*Democratic Supporters are brought in front of the Congressional Building in Belgrade and hung and shot to death for being Traitors to the People and the Hard Worker's*
*Capitalist Leaders are locked up*
If the polls aren't closed then this isn't really an election but practically a coup d'etat by the Communists to seize control of the government. And while the Kumanian government prefers the leftist Communist Party of Yugoslavia to win a democratic election, it condemns a violent nondemocratic seizure of the democratically-elected government. The Kumanian government urges KPJ leaders to calm down and let the polls close before any actions take place against KPJ opposition.
Jaslandia, United Yugoslav States
You see ladies and gentlemen, the key to having your party keep power is to let opposition legally exist while also not screwing up at governing. If opposition is banned, then that sows the seeds for rebellion to overthrow your government, especially if your government sucks at doing its job.
Jaslandia, Baxten
So... it's not actually a representative democracy? It's a "if you agree with the ruling government you get a vote" representative democracy?
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Minnesota Dakota
*for corruption*
Exactly.
The KPJ will relax some laws but the other political parties will be heavily watched and regulated.
