Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Well, that was the plan at least. In reality, not enough states had arrived by then to meet the quorum, so the convention didn't actually start until May 25.

As someone who wants to be a legislator from Indiana in the future, getting gun control laws passed is damn near impossible. ((Aside from our clearly gerrymandered districts here)) The NRA lobby is omnipresent, and it'd be political suicide to "take away muh gunz".

I ain't no pinko, Lib

Your statement says otherwise
Gross, pinkos and libs.

Long live capitalism
Merlinton, Jaslandia, The Empire Of Handland, Penguania And Antarctica
So does your use of the word pinko and your Cappy beliefs, you LIB!
Libs believe in capitalism.
I don't remember anti-communism being a pillar of liberalism but OK pal
A bastardized version of it
The Empire Of Handland
I don't think I made such an association.
I associated you with liberalism through your capitalist beliefs. The fact you use pinko is just icing on the cake and some tongue in cheek humor.
Uh, what do you mean bastardized?
I don't remember sayin' I was a liberal :^)
Talyllyn! I love the Talyllyn Railway! The Talyllyn actually served as the inspiration for the Skarloey Railway on Sodor, and many of the engines on the Skarloey Railway (Skarloey, Rheneas, Peter Sam, Sir Handel, etc.) have their twin on the Talyllyn Railway (Talyllyn, Dolgoch, Edward Thomas, Sir Haydn, etc.). It's a lovely little line, and I've heard good things about it from when some of the Skarloey engines visited Talyllyn. Happy birthday, Talyllyn, and here's to many more to come!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
That's right, but I still call you one :P
exactly what a commie would say
Hehe, yea, those...those daeemmnn commies hehe *sweats*
Hmm....
Joe McCarthy was an American hero
Yukona
How Liberal of you to make the connection!
God no. He was an awful man that violated the First Amendment.

American Conservatives .
He was more a Commie than the People he accused .
Right, in direct and fair fights, which doesn't happen except for actual militaries.
You'll deal with Terrorism more than likely.
Friedensreich
Not to mention his actions lead to the blacklisting and subsequent destruction of dozens of American artists, musicians, and actor's careers.
Russian Fedration, Yukona
Huh
Magnatronia
Oh theres ways to Bend Insurgents No worries
and with a Massive Security Force and Little to No Cival Liberities Terrorists are stopped before they even know it :)
Exactly witch is a NK USSR Thing to do. He did what he Accused others of Supporting ...hypocrite.
Well everyone, after much serious contemplation, I have made the decision to depart from the Confederacy. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce this, yet I feel as if I've overstayed my welcome. We have all come a long way together and I hope to see this region continue to thrive. I wish all of you luck in your future endeavors. Goodbye.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Baxten, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
good luck wish you well!
Einsiev, Penguania And Antarctica
I wish you would stay, but in the end, it's your choice. Best of luck to you in the future, and it was nice having you here!
Einsiev, Russian Fedration, Penguania And Antarctica
We will miss you Ein. I wish you the best.
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Taking a gander at the map, maybe power-hungry Fried should try unifying China/East Asia.
Russian Fedration
We'll all miss you Ein, and I wish you well and good experiences.
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I wanted to write in a sort of civil war going on in China, but not enough people have claimed that area.
And you could still be German even if you're in Hong Kong; this is alternate history. It would actually give a reason for your hatred of the German-led ITF.
Oh, and question, will you still keep contact via Discord or some other form of communication?
Oh know, but I'm in the ITF...And from what I've seen I like Fried too ;(
That's OOC. I don't like alliances because of bad experiences in the past with them, but Dr. Sung is a young and idealistic woman. Remember when I said I'm going to have to go against my own beliefs when it comes to foreign policy?
I unfortunately will be unable too. I'll possibly post on here from time to time so I won't be gone permanently.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Hey guys I'm not dead!
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Andromitus
Oh, [nation=short]Baxten[/nation], is there the possibility to remove some of the more inactive people from the map?
Andromitus
I plan on it. I had a purge a little while back, so I guess it's due time for another one.
Alright. I'll be honest, I have some rather greedy reasons for wanting it.
The guy that is above me in #72 has been unresponsive and inactive to my messages, and I wants his land.
Can we just have Cheney as president?
The Vidnoye
Woo
He returneth!
Staaahhhp
n0
Well, if he leaves, then you definitely canmt have it. You see, at leasst while he's there, you can request to invade him.
It isn't my fault I'm stuck in the desert with no time to do anything!
Can I get my place on the map now please?

^What Cheney/Rumsfeld ends up as :p
The Empire Of Handland, Friedensreich
But invading an inactive guy just doesn't feel right. I've requested to set up relations- in fact, my first intentions were to set up a union with them, seeing how they dwarf me- but that has yet to be replied to.
But, I have alluded to it in The Grand Debut that Dr. Sung wants Shanghai for its location and commerce, so more likely than not she'll try to take it over. Maybe she could convince some of the people at the meeting to help her out in exchange for lucrative trade deals in the future?
Corbyn Pie 2024
Who the heck would elect a slice of pie
Jaslandia
It's not a slice of pie. It's the guy's name.
Jeremy Corbyn the MP and Johnathan Pie the satirist.
Live long and prosper.
Toot toot. :)

No offense, but are you trying to be the embodiment of pure evil?
You sound like RT gone awry
RT? Nah, I'm one of those BBC and Al-Jazeera b!tches.
Russian Fedration
Oh dear.... Al Jazeera. Jesus Christ.
What, too exotic for ya?
Russian Fedration
Yes. I lead TFU, TFO, TFS, and a whole bunch of other regions :p I decided to retire from regional politics. I am just too busy and I want to have fun RPing for awhile. Maybe I'll get back into it later :p
Yukona
I read the Independent, Guardian and BBC. No, not too exotic - despite what you think I don't adhere to that school of thought - just the fact that they're stupidly bias, come from Qatar (ew), it's blatantly bias to the whims of the gulf states, is debatably anti-semetic on numerous issues (disregarding the actual Israel-Palestine conflict, which criticism of Israel is not anti-semetic, but instead labeling things it doesn't like as serving Zionism and basically propagating a global ZOG), has links to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt which is a deplorable organisation, speaking of Palestine - it's given bias news on Hamas, which is a terrorist organisation (I don't support either side in the conflict, both parties involved have their negatives but indiscriminately attacking civilians and having links to numerous terrorist organisations around the globe isn't great), oh - and let's not forget Yusuf al-Qaradawi who constantly broadcasts about hurting the enemies of Islam and implementing sharia law.
tl;dr - it's literally Wahabism online with an air of 'The US sucks at everything here is your cool, hip, foreign-sounding news out-let with sweet left-wing opinions on radical stuff (literally) happening now! Just read the Independent or something.
Ooooh, do I smell a fascist joining the RP?
Belmora
Friedensreich do you not agree?
You should, it's Aldaur.
Belmora, Yukona
Damn, I just realized we'll have to make him part of the ITF. He's switching his nations, meaning he's switching his membership
Why must we have all these fascist! I guess it's better than the pinkos
Belmora, Yukona
I am just going to be rping as a conservative monarchy. I sort of screwed up the stats on my nation, so I will be fixing that for awhile lol
Yukona
Agree to disagree.
Yukona
I am trying to think of a good name for my Tsar. I do and don't like the name Stannis.
Yukona
This might start straining my membership lol
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Baxten, Belmora, Friedensreich
Personally I wouldn't use one from GoT or that, depending on your nation's culture (I guess Celtic?) I would say pick a cool name from there
Belmora
Oh thank god
Remember, fascism =/= nazism. I still don't follow the ideology (classical liberals woot woot), but I do understand why some non-nazi fascist get ticked off when the Holocaust is the argument used against them
Belmora, Friedensreich, Andromitus, Yukona
You know you want out. What benefit do you have in being in the same organization that containsMagnatronia, the greatest threat to humanity!?
Yukona
I hate how fascism is used as a negative for anything political "THIS MAN'S A FASCIST/WE'RE FIGHTING FASCISTS" when in reality the ideology is as broad as any other. It's an incredibly intriguing ideology and personally, I think it gets a bad rep for what it is. By all means it's not my cup of tea, but you look at communism and I can see how elements/divisions of that could be utopian/nice to be in, like agrarian socialism
Belmora, Pirate Kingdoms
Never said they were :P
Belmora
*invaded one colony* "Greatest threat to humanity"
*Alduar threatens to blow up tax-evading ships* "Guess we'll have to pay the tax"
No hate Ald, I love ya
Belmora, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
This ^^
Well, Stannes is basically the same name, but Slavic. I am having trouble with the way the names look. I think it is because the word Tsar is short. So I added High Tsar before the name, but that also doesn't look right. I was thinking:
High Tsar Stannis von Krevaulin, but I think I needna better first name. Right now, I have Khasimir, but I don't like it either. My nation is meant to be Slavic-Russian-Norse.
Belmora won't be as aggressive as Aldaur lol When I was in Australia, I was just bored because I could do whatever I wanted hahah
Penguania And Antarctica
I'll have ye know I have warships mobilizing to confront any threat by Aldaur to future Pacific trade routes used not only by Kumanians but other nations on the East Coast and also Europe including maybe even Magnatronia. I ain't paying no bloody tax to sail through international waters!
Belmora, Friedensreich, Pirate Kingdoms
Aldaur is dead :p A great disaster killed everyone and utterlt wipped out the Aldauri civilization :p Belmora is my new nation haha
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
Thank God. I didn't really have the manpower yet to truly defend myself in the Pacific. I was mostly bluffing lmao.
Belmora
Your a Wahhai?
Belmora
What.
Belmora
I asked the members if they wanted to vote on all members whether to keep them in or not. I got a no on that.
Belmora
I know, that was more a general comment.
Belmora
Ik you were lol I was in such a powerful position, it jist wasn't fun anymore lol I want a challenge :p And I want to be next to Nurem :p
I wonder now that I am gone, who will take dominion over the pacific :p
The United Providences Of Perland
Can I get my spot on the map please?
And I'll be playing as a heavily militarized imperialist republic so at least that's a change right?
Belmora
Where too. You may want to wait a bit; I have a few changes that need to be made.
Belmora
To*
If you insist I wait then that's ok, but I'd really like to be put in 70, so I can invade people and take their stuff :)
Belmora
A whabi believer
Belmora
That would be a great spot to start an empire! As a former imperial, I wish you luck!
Thank you much, I appreciate it, my first goal is to take most of 104 and then invade the guy living in 69 and take his stuff from him, I need it more than he does, more land for more factories I always say.
Belmora
Then I'd go after 49, 61, 73 and 82, that way you can claim dominion over that whole area and then begin closing the gap, especially in Africa. While in Australia, I was planning take over all of that (what you and I just mentioned) and then start in Northern Asia and take over every single island in the Pacific. Was also planning to create new islands off the west coast of Australia lol Such grand plans :p I reccomend someone else take up that endeavour.
He literally just said he didn't like Al Jazeera because they're near Wahhabi with some left-wing politics sprinkled in. No, he's not Wahhabist
