Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Get back in your hovel you Capitalist handerr! *Starts swatting with a branch*
Greetings, I am High Councilor of the Exterior Sectarian, Alec G'wain of the First Sectarian Council of the Ædenist Union. In the CoFN timeline a similar ideology to Socialism began to take hold in South-Latin America, one that was heavily influenced by Marx and vice versa, known as Ædenism. While our nation formed through a revolution our policy and ideology are much more adherent to Technological and Social Progress, believing that in all cases Ædenism will be required due to basic necessity.
While Ædenism differs greatly from Marxism in both Economic Structure (Leaning more towards Decentral Syndicalism), Federal Structure (Focusing more on enforced Meritocratism and Local Direct Democracy), and even Military definition (Pacifism woo!), I'm certain our two nations can get along very well.
Long Live the Ædenist Union! Never Surrender!
Æden Herrscht!

Hello people. How are you all?
Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Axeldonia, Kalaron, Yukona, Slavankya
No
I'm good, gonna aim to finish the Concord Class and it's HAMMR (High Alpha Maneuverable Missile, radar) and then move to make the best gosh darn BVR missile ever by syncing it to the Lynx.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica

You don't say? That's what my nation follows anyways.
Good luck! What is your official state religion? if not Roman Catholicism then the great Spanish inquisition will be used to crush your heretic views! Because NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! Also if anyone wants to know, The Holy Empire of Spanelsko is Authoritarian Democracy BUT we also are heavy socialists in our economic policies.
Peoples Liberation Republic
No no
I'd like to do diplomatic and economic business with you. You seem like a promising country to do business with
mmmm, sounds délicieux 😋
What do you plan to do on NDay?
Patrol the Mojave.
Continue my design work, maybe nap.
No to what, me silencing the Handerr swine or the greeting from Alec (your ally)
The state, and majority population, are actually Atheist or Secular and while decentral religions are allowed to operate within the AU they're looked down upon on a social level.
Oh and due to the nature of our militaries existance any and all attempts to indoctrinate our citizens into any Religion from an outside state is to be met with Military force.
CONCORD! Æden Herrcht!
Say no to me, that's fine, but nobody silences Tse! *draws sabre*
That's a good fetish to develop right there
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Confederal States
No to both.
Okay guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I know this is probably getting annoying by now. But, as the election begins this Friday, I am starting to get a little concerned that a) there is not a single candidate for Speaker of Parliament, and b) of the remaining offices, only one will actually be contested because all the others have only a single candidate running for the position.
So, please consider running for elected office. These include: Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Justice, and Speaker of Parliament.
Click here to confirm if you are a citizen and can therefore vote and run for office, and to access the citizenship application so as to become a citizen if you are not.
Click here to view the current candidates for the September election.
And telegram both [nation=short]Baxten[/nation] and [nation=short]Continental Commonwealths[/nation] (in the same telegram, please) if you wish to run for office.

Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Andromitus
I am open to all trade, and diplomatic relations.
As for you Edenist, as long as our religion is allowed, and does have a presence we wont act in a military matter, also just because our economy isnt the best, that doesnt mean that our army isnt powerful and fanatically loyal to the Empire. We are open to diplomatic relations with your nation too, even tough that you may not have the same opinion on the matter as us.
Glory to the Holy Empire. And the Confederation.

I will respectfully abstain.....

From napping with Kal? Probably a good call- Sul would likely nuke the whole of Greece in recourse. But it would be great for tourism in Cyprus, I suppose.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Want to know something funny? I have a confederacy too. It's communist and it has a frightening economy. Yours is imploded.
Ha.
Andromitus
We do not discuss the circumstances of my economy! *ugly cries*
But seriously, the issues that did it in are bullsh!t and I've pretty much pledged to give up on issues. What dealt the first blow from the 90s was to dismantle government departments- which should have had a marginal effect at best because I literally had no government spending and therefore logically had no government departments to really speak of.
What dealt the blow from the 60s to the 20s was to cancel business subsidization, which shouldn't have dealt any blow because my country literally had negative business subsidization.
And the issue that put the final nail in the coffin was when I cancelled food subsidies which, as already mentioned, shouldn't have done anything because said subsidies did not exist!
tl;dr Max Berry is the devil and has condemned me to hell. #PoisonedBerry

Tbf it was some evil issue writer who made them, not Max Barry personally. But yes, I understand your pain.

Haha, you're funny. Like I'd waste nukes on that.
Weaponized smallpox is more my style for something of that circumstance
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Andromitus
No. I will abstain from NDay. ...
Andromitus
Hi. How are you doing?
Andromitus
N-Day? Yeah no. I'm sticking by my promise. I violated the regional rules about nuclear weapons, but I'm not launching a single one. No target on me this time.
Very fine. Thank you.
I'm here to pledge my Glorious Arctic ICBMs to the cause. And also, I'm desperately lonely.

I played the boardgame version of "This war of mine" today.
all our characters died
i feel bad now
Well that's just not smart in the slightest; master politicking skills I take it?
I can't say it will have a presence in any capacity; we were colonized by the German Empire (A Lutheranist) and followed Andreo-Lutheranism for two decades (and when that fact book is finished you'll understand why the modern generation is wary of Religion, even decentralized sects) and we now advocate State Atheism with Centralized Religious organizations being barred from the Heartland (although it is legal to practice just not to preach or harass/advertise)
In all probability the AU will be very cautious around you as we've had bad experiences with Autocrats, Theocrats, and that whole bunch.
Saving the Ice with Fire I see ;) and don't worry, everyon here's lonely too :D
Oh GOD I just orgasmed
O-oh round two I see

Interesting, since its not banned we are fine with it, i wont pretend that it does annoy most of our people and members of government but as long as it isnt outlawed to practise we will be fine with your policy.
And i understand that there is probably a deeper reason for your hate of AT-D (Authoritarian Democracy= AT-D) or any form of dictatorial/imperial/fanatical nations.
We are also open to trade of everything except weapons or technology that could affect our people and make them ´´smart´´

why is the first issue i see after i log on to my nation after speaking with Eden called= You just sunken my battleship. (???)
OK, you know what? i let others decide on this, first option= better maintenance, second start building a space fleet or purge government and offices. (i just cant decide so please decide whats best :p )
Товарищ, You mus'nt let other leaders tell you how to run your country.
I would love to be Edenist my dude (See. Peter F. Hamilton), buuuuut its Æden, at least go with Aden because Eden is Bliss through Ignorance, Æden is all about Bliss through Knowledge
But isnt bliss though ignorance the actual thing i want to force in my nation? :p OK Aden
Sure, but thats considered "A Cruel and Unusual Punishment" in the Heartland :P
Sure, but thats considered "A Cruel and Unusual Punishment" in the Heartland :P
yes i understand what you are saying
Well you know, if we didnt do it people would know that what we tell them makes NO SENSE so we must make them as dumb as possible :p Thats also why can even exist as a nation with our economy being in HELL.

Government PURGE HAS BEEN STARTED, now we are officially no longer a Authoritarian Democracy BUT a Psychotic Dictatorship. (how did i manage to make communists into democratic socialists to be then Authoritarian Democracy so it would fall to being a Psychotic Dictatorship with extreme religion enforcement in the 2 days of my reign i have no clue.)
Burning members of the Order of Violet is the nation's favorite pastime, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and countless government officials are accused of espionage.
Well i think i have my answer.

That means that I will do nothing related with NDay during the NDay. I will try to face issues as usualy. That's all...
I was wondering, what sources for electricity do you guys use in your nations? Lots of renewable, mostly nuclear, or dirty fossil fuels?
Moldegaard's electricity is 68,8% renewable, 17,1% non-renewable, and 14,1% nuclear.
Vista Major
100% Renewables
However, true to the Scandinavian spirit, the government does extract fossil fuels and sells them to nations in need. A nice little income
Axeldonia, Moldegaard
So, who are we supposed to attack with nukes?
Sweet, this our nation's goal. We're working for it!
Mostly nuclear with some renewable backups.
