Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

Ladies and gentlemen! The poll is concluded and we have a clear winner with 8 votes! The Republic of China (Taiwan) is the region favourite state with limited recognition. Followed by Kosovo and Sahrawi with 2 votes each and Abkhazia and Transnistria with 1 vote each.

Vive Taiwan! Also the current poll is a really interesting question. Obvious pick for me, Canada is like the 'Nordics' of North America. In literal and geopolitical sense. One of the few other countries I could imagine myself living in.

I think the license fee should be scrapped. If the BBC is so beloved by so many Britons, let it operate on a commercial basis in competition with other broadcasters, vying for voluntary subscriptions. That way, it's true value will be gauged, rather than just sponging off taxpayer money.

Pro-BBC people love bashing private providers like Sky and Netflix but at least these companies don't threaten to fine or jail me if I don't pay them for their programming.

How much is your license? Here in Ireland it's €160, almost all of which goes to the state owned broadcaster, which also earns revenue from commercials and sponsorship.

145 quid a year. They underspend in Scotland too so we subsidise TV content in the rest of the UK. They are also biased as hell and love right-wingers. The BBC is trash.

They used to have good content. They always had good nature documentaries, and some good dramas too.

Now and again they produce good dramas and documentaries but their news and political stuff is absolutely dire. I'm just glad I don't pay the license fee.

The Issue

It was a good day for communism when the Socialist Revolutionary Movement took control of the government in the tropical island nation of Haptu. However, three weeks later, a pro-capitalist counter-revolutionary group funded and armed by the United Federation seized power, installing a dictator in a brutal coup. Your advisors have assembled, and have brought a chess clock to ensure that each is allotted exactly the same amount of time to speak to you about this.

“They stole it from us, those bourgeois pigs!” exclaims Sandy Nista, your Minister of Proletarian Liberation, slamming his hand on the button to start the clock ticking. “It might be different if these soulless capitalists were the legitimate government, but it isn’t fair that they can just overthrow a communist leader who draws his mandate from The People! The Great Supreme Lord Khan, we need to act in the best interests of global communism, and that means military action! Down with the bourgeoisie!”

So basically we are spreading communism to eradicate it later.... seems legit.

If we get this issue in Nurem, I wonder how we will answer. We've had a very bad experience with communism and so have a national aversion to the ideology but we also dislike supporting or working with dictators. We may very well just stay out of it altogether but we'll assess all the options.

I voted China because of its beautiful and dramatic landscape, its long and storied history with its emperors, the magnificent Forbidden City and its complex, mystical culture. In particular, its enchanting traditional music and traditional dress, as well as the beauty of its language in written and spoken form.

I do find it a bit funny that Nurem doesn't like dictators and yet 2 biggest supporters of its leading party are Nazis of Iberia and Communists of reincarnated Soviet Union.

The Issue

A group of disgruntled language connoisseurs are complaining that loan-words from the Galliennais language are ‘contaminating the native tongue of Spanelsko’. They are calling for a government sponsored language purification project, robbing you of your joie de vivre as you try to relax and enjoy your pamplemousse cocktail.

“Bah, humbug!” grunts bellicose General Kennedy, while angrily smashing a Galliennais Merlot bottle on the floor. “We don’t have to tolerate this nonsense; let’s bomb Galliennes into the ground and colonize them. Then they’ll learn our language soon enough!”

Nah it's definitely cultural. Canadians believe healthcare is a universal right that everyone should have access to, and that they should all pay into the system to help each other out.

The Issue

Beautiful, blonde, and bisexual, the 25-year-old tennis player Winston Pournikova is perhaps better known for his modelling work and stunning smile than for the speed of his serves. In a recent TV interview, he was asked who his ideal lover would be. To your surprise, he named you, The Great Supreme Lord Khan.

Me after reading this: WTF?! Has NS forgotten that we have death sentence for non-heterosexuals?! Considering that in this issue i for some reason i can't send a death squad after this person, he must be from of the other ones in the region, whoever is hiding him i will gladly pay you for execution of this undesirable.

I dont really feel the need to reply, as you have just written, almost word-per-word, how I feel about it as well. I'd like to see more fierce pressure from the Western world upon Israel to adopt the two state solution. Sadly that's quite far away from the truth of things.

With the move by Macron and other world governments to adopt the definition of antisemitism which includes criticism of Israel, the global community is going down the wrong path. I think someday in the future, historians will write of the Palestinian Holocaust in the same way historians have written about the Holocaust during the Second World War.

Israel's disgusting treatment of the Palestinians deserves international condemnation and boycott. But of course, if you dare to speak up for Palestinians, you're an antisemite. *eye roll*
