Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
About 4 days ago, the alliance was dead and inactive so I came here.
I'm on the meme prowl. Harvesting only the best memes so that I may cultivate them in my farm and when harvest comes I can use them to win the great meme wars

Exactly. No one even knows.
There's no harm done until you're so inactive that the goblin population in your nation becomes too large and you have to launch a new crusade
It was dead anyways.
Kinda pathetic these raiders decided to invade an inactive region. There was no possible glory to be attained by such an easy conquest of valueless land. It's like invading a deserted wasteland it's just silly. Those invaders have no honor.

Yeah, fair enough, but I was speaking in a re-tor-ic-al sense. Besides, can't Christmas mean more than one thing?

When Christmas was a pegan holiday stolen by the Christians.

Hey, is there a reason why the Minister of Justice has not been given border control? Is that not something the MoJ should absolutely have.
Well, if a criminal trial were to say, convict someone of a banable (or ejectable) offence, wouldn't the MoJ need to execute said punishment?
We must ready ourselves, the fires of the Second Great Flame-War are burning brighter than ever
Christmas is Pagan in origin, the entire celebration came from both Saturnalia and Yule
Keep Saturn in Saturnalia!
I'm happy you guys chose to come here, but I am a bit surprised, I had heard Lat ruffled your guys's feathers
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, The Peoples Republic Of Terra
That's just good marketing
Aghrabia, The United Providences Of Perland
That is exactly what I am saying. The MoJ currently does not have that power, and I feel it should.
Oh, I thought you ere saying they shouldn't! I'm a bit scatter brained tonight, sorry e.e
Confederacy Of Free Nations
lol no problem. I was just sort of bringing that up. I know I could give the MoJ those powers, but I dont want to just do that. I dislike using my powers without explicit consent.

No, it isn't.
Anyhow, anything that you would like me to publicise, I will.

For the purposes of clarification, I am working on a process that will give more powers to the forum-based debate. That is all.

Shows that not only do a recap of relevant scenes from past episodes, but show the whole last scene of the previous episode at the beginning of the next one.
B!tch, you know I'm binge watching this on Netflix and saw those "previously on" scenes literally seconds ago.
I'm looking at you, The Good Wife.

I'm coming into this a bit blind and late, but are the politically active people getting slated for discord? Also the President seems to be bending a lot of things on the RMB - with all due respect of course

All in the past. But out of all the regions is NS, where do we have the most nations that we know already?

You should join me in my quest
I'll apply for citizenship and stuff later, currently trying to finish up college work for Christmas

I've was just inactive in that alliance, nothing ever happened so I missed this drama

#1 most beautiful environment.
Seems that's a logical consequence of a national populated by penguins.

[B]DIP will be posted later today
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Freewire, Yukona
He's in the Antarctic! But I thnk your point still stands. Granted, he's surrounded by apparently prestine water. As one of the closest nations to him, however, and given our complete lack of regulation, I imagine a garbage island is slowly making its way to him as we speak.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Well I gave him (without his knowledge) the Falkland Islands and that other one next to it, so now Peng has more Penguin citizens under his jurisdiction
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
So, Peng's population consists of 4 million penguins and 3,000 humans.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Freewire has 666 million people right now
Citizens of Freewire being crazy devil people confirmed.

Yea. Also, Baxtonians that didn't immigrate to the mainland can, hopefully, be given Penguianian citizenship in due time.
Penguania And Antarctica
Only if they exclusively wear tuxedos and subsist on a strict diet of fish.
I'm sorry, Peng! Commonwealthers just can't be governed!
Penguania And Antarctica
Can we make this an official thing ? I really would like to have some overseas territory. =)

Seems we need to send a foreign aid mission to the Commonwealth to bring them the fruits of civilisation.

It is official, but I've gotta update the map. Thanks to Christmas break, I think I can make an update today (hopefully)

Thanks for this Christmas present. =)

Oh, Ok. You should list that in the citizenship roster along with other puppets you have.

I was just about to post that; one group did a sort of test of launching an engine into space, and it worked out reasonably well. However, other than that, we rarely send engines into space: it's hard to control an engine in zero gravity, and it costs a lot of money to make a spaceship big enough to fit an engine. We mostly send unmanned probes and satellites, but when we do send living beings, we mostly send up humans. However, we still have a lot engines working for Ground Control and other jobs that don't involve going into space.
