Me is doing good. :)
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia
Does a McDonald's count?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, of course. You paid for food. Unless you grabbed the stuff and ran out of the restaurant.
What did you buy there ?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
I ate with a friend. I got a medium chicken nugget meal with a coke. He got a little pizza and drink from Pizza Hut.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I have returned! Surprisingly, I'm still on the map, but I've returned!
Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
Welcome back from where you returned!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Mhh. Sounds delicious. Now I am hungry.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Welcome back :)
Jaslandia
I freaking love McDonald's. It will probably give me all kinds of health problems later in life but damn I love it.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Been my Goal from the start.
yay good to here
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I dont want to remove lat. I will leave to make Lat happy! {;C im sorry
Hmm, well, if it comes to burgers I like BurgerKing more. But the nuggets at McDonald's are godly.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
...you literally have a system that stops providing them food and water and turns their public buildings -ostensibly the most defensible- into bombs waiting to happen and trapping them in the jungle...but think that the ITF will have to fight them?
Are we still trying to use RL logic at all?
These are civilians, dude, and members of a glorified police force. They won't stand up to psy-ops like what could be launched in the jungle unless you make them into main-characters from something dumb like Homefront.
I mean, but they do though.
They mean that, in the future, should you choose to post data on it, you'll have to include me and Bax's refusal which tbh means a lot to us.
As for the factory thing, so it's just verticle integration and recycling?
I'm pretty meh on the 3D printing thing -it's good that it was restricted slighty but it's still a smidge PMT-ish for my blood- but if it's just a factory with that stuff then sure.
The nuggets are the main reason I go. But Burger King does have kick ass burgers, fries and chicken royales.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Totally agree with you, my friend. At least there is something we have in common. :)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
I'd like to think we have more in common than that lol
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Hmm, what else could we two have in common ?
No I wouldn't vassal them. I just want yugoslavs land back. Also, HUNGARY IS HUGE! Aren't you worried about them a little bit?
Penguania And Antarctica
We're both gay, we're both left-wing, we're both pro-EU.
Penguania And Antarctica
Ah, yes of course. The obvious stuff. *facepalm*

Pacifist my ass! If you claim to be a nation of pacifists, why don't I dip into the archives and look up your actions in the Khutonian Civil War?
Russian Fedration, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Well Andromidus does seem like interventionist...I doubt they would do anything to dras-*Coup D'etat*
Trust me, they tend to do very drastic things when given the opprutunity.
United Provinces Of Byzantium
I am joining them now. They are the future of Greece and the world!
No, I mean taling the canal to split you up.
Russian Fedration
No. Lat is in Italy. He was just gonna move there if it was available.
In geopolitics, you can't "feel sorry" for people. It's you first and them second (unless you're talking about trade or alliances, in which it's flipped)
Russian Fedration, United Provinces Of Byzantium
I know. It just makes me feel bad...not anymore though because I have killed the horrific government and changed alliance to Andramidus
Post self-deleted by Baxten.
Are you sure? Andromitus is basically democratic communism with open-sourced internet, but he's in the ITF so it's cool, I guess
United Provinces Of Byzantium
I plan on converting to their ideology, conquering the balkans, Italy, Spain, Middle east, France, and Britain and reform the roman empire. You have nothing to fear.
Um, I wouldn't advise it. Italy, Britain, most of the Balkans, and France are under webs of alliances, and the other nations are neutral. Not to mention that you need permission from the other nation to wage war (I know it sounds stupid, but trust me when I say it's very necessary).
Also, if you're following Andy's ideology, does that mean you'll go into a union with the Russian Fedration? The first step to at least reform Byzantium is to gain Anatolia.
Aghrabia, Yukona, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Who said I had to go to war with them? All you have to do is get a little...dirty...
Also I plan on uniting with the Anatolian Russians!
If you plan on making a human trafficking ring, it ain't flying here son.
Jaslandia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Great! And whenever you unite with them, I want to ask you two a question.
United Provinces Of Byzantium
OH NO NO NO! THATS PREPOSTEROUS!!! I mean supporting the ideology and supporting rebels! eww no...
You'll still need their permission, for this.
Yukona
Yea, I'm helping them both with that as we speak
United Provinces Of Byzantium
Yea! Germany is Byzantine Republics best friend! I love Germany! I should trade with you a lot more.
Penguania And Antarctica
Ill get rid of the 3D printing, and don't ready my military factbook, I think I have it in the title, but its complete BS and random notes; I haven't even begun to start working on it legitimately. Essentially the Factbook is nothing more than random notes that I think are kinda cool, I jot them down, then forget about them for me to work on later. I'm actual carp when it comes to the military, so I'm trying to find a time to actually do some legitamate research. BUT SCHOOL DON'T CARE; SCHOOL DON'T GIVE A SHOT
My population is pacifist, those that join the military renounce their Ædenism, its sorta like a right of passage, thats why my militaries so small, communist democratic paradise, but logically, nobody wants to fight -_-
Plus that was a two decades after the civil war, by my count, I was still under fascist control by the Foundation, an interim governing party fixing the nation. That entire affair is a scar upon my history, and YET ANOTHER REASON that my military is so small. The "Khutongia Incident" isn't only an annoyance to us, its a constant and berating embarrassment; why do you think were ramping up manufacturing, to fix our sh!t there, why do you think were reaching out to so many nations, like [nation=short]calofas[/nation], or [nation=short]united_provinces_of_byzantium[/nation]? What about [nation=short]the_vidnoye[/nation]? We're making up for that complete societal embarresment, and its even worse for the younger generations, because they have to deal with it and suffer for it, even though they themselves did nothing wrong.
Your the equivalent of blaming modern day german for the holocaust -_-
Did you read anything on my ideology at all? I mean, come on:
"To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms and liberties of another is to naturally forgo your own."
"One's body and mind are inviolable, subject to ones solitary will; in turn, to force any belief on an unwanting mind is to nullify those beliefs."
Jaslandia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Deutschland ist gut. :)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia
Invade nations for food, cities, and to free nations from corruption. All land taken by war shall be repaired. People of all nations conquered are treated equally.
Ja!
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Or you don't wage war and peacefully enter unions with people (like what you did with Rus) or buy land. Our foreign policy is "Use diplomacy at all cost", and I advise you follow that model.
Did?
Yugoslav isnt talking but the new Byzantine guy is...
;)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia, United Yugoslav States
:O My first ideological disagreement; that could be a sub faction of Ædenism; Edensim? Foundational Ædenism? Wonder what to call you
1) Me too
2) That's a nice reason to be in the ITF; wonder if it covers up the viably corrupt magnatronia entrence scandal :P
Entering the Union with you. It was already made official, so I used past tense
wait wait wait ?
the Union was made official?
Is that an insult
Aghrabia
Sorry, I am on a trip and it is hard for me to respond sometimes. I just love Golden Colorado.
Unacceptable
Aghrabia, United Yugoslav States
What you want me to do? Im visiting family.
No; I'm referring to your entry into the ITF, he was, err, rather uninformative about it; especially regarding our feelings about each other. I'm annoyed at him about it instead of you. Besides, facts be facts, our little economic industrial competition we got going is very nice for us. Much better than full on war. Muuuuuch nicer :)
That is no excuse! We're going home!
I thought you two agreed to it, no? If you want a treaty or something first, that's fine
Alright, that's cool be an annoyance, I guess /s
That isn't typically how invasions of sovereign land work.
Nope,were working a Treaty kinda out right now . sorta
Think he was summarizing
Goodnight people. Wish you all a nice remaining day and sweet dreams tonight. Love you all. <3
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Percyton
Ah, so you're insulting me. I see. Well, I was gonna offer to make peace with Andromitus, but I guess you're not interested then...
Nah jk Idgaf tbh still luv u, babe

WE are your family now

Byzantium Goes the more Democratic Way!?
Later this evening Byzantium will hold an election to help The Byzantine Government transition to a more liberal and democratic way. Byzantium has called on other nations to work their way towards democracy as well. The transition is expected to take a while and many reforms but as our Monarch said "The people and their word is priceless"
Jaslandia
Or, and hear how crazy this is, you and Rus use the same type of government (autocratic democracy) as to promote unity between you two. You having elections is a step in this direction, but you should probably take even more steps in that direction
Jaslandia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Man...I love germany and I love the other nation to...hmmm...I gotta side with Germany! I will hold an election every 4 years.
Jaslandia
I have accepted it as an alternative form of payment. Similar to how paypal is used.
The Exalted Empire of Farahan is also moving towards democracy. After centuries of autocratic rule, the new, young Shah has big plans for his reign, including the introduction of an elected parliament, the improvement of general political rights and the reduction of the power of the Crown which will share authority with the new parliament.
Farahan applauds Byzantium's moves to modernising their country. We pray both our great homelands prosper with the coming changes.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
[In reference to priv. TGs]
Bipolar :) That's okay, the transition is long and winding, and the environment around you is not always safe for your transition. May you journey well and may you find Æden soon :) You have Harmony's support. *diplomatically hugs*
United Provinces Of Byzantium
*Looks at his territory.* *Looks at Jas's territory.*
Bring it.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Awww thanks ladies and Gentlemen! I didnt know I would get this much support! It will take a while but I am sure I can do it!
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
It will take a while in Farahan too, trust me. The previous monarch supported policies that were deeply horrible. Slavery for example. And he brutally suppressed his opponents. The new Shah plans to undo this in order to save the monarchy and Empire from revolution.
Jaslandia, United Provinces Of Byzantium
Oh didnt worry my friend! I voted those War Mongers out and put some reformers in office. You have nothing to worry about. I abandoned conquering Europe through war.
Jaslandia
ohhh sht...More protests and Bombings in Athens...awww....If this gets bad...I dont know what I'll do!
[spoiler=Why I accepted to run for Chief Justice]
Let me begin by saying thank you. Thank you to each and every single one of you, you have
granted me and many others a profound experience within this online game. Through thick and
thin, through tyranny and corruption, through the loss of members and real life events, we have
held each other together like glue. From every debate to every tea time, to every roleplayed war
and hard fought elections, we call ourselves the COFN. This race is about that dream, its about
sustaining our freedoms and the family we have constructed, its about remaining as the people
we are today, its about taking swift action in the face of adversity, and its certainly about being
there to defend everything.
No matter who you vote for, Magnatronia, Speaker Yukona, or myself, this is the truth. Im not the
only choice, im not even the best choice, but I have a fire that has been burning since the
Commonwealth of Free Nations. I have failed and I have succeed, but most importantly I always
served to the best of my ability. That is why I decide to accept President Vistas nomination for
Chief Justice. [/spoiler]
The first and only statement, so please read my friends.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
Quick question, mainly because I was only paying half attention as you only can really PAY half attention when your on NS on your phone :P
But where are you located and or planning to be located on the map?
United Provinces Of Byzantium
Oh look he called it COFN and not CFN
that's good enough for me
Russian Fedration, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
He's in Greece and (hopefully) him and Russian Fedration will finalize that union. I invited them to the ITF, too. If they join, we'll have the Suez, Panama, and Dardanelles.
Russian Fedration
Greece but I wish that I could release a part of greece so someone could also play in greece. Its next to Turkey or actually russia...complicated...yea...
Russian Fedration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWFPdmAhyes&t=2s
It's about time we stop dwelling on the past, took me a bit to accept it lol.
Penguania And Antarctica
Actually, you can allow people to become states within your country if you so please. Just make sure to inform me
United Provinces Of Byzantium
I think I may reform into a country like the united states. I would have to change my name though....hmmm....I dont know. What do you think> Republic, Monarchy, Fascist, or Communist?
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia
Keep the monarchy, man. Just make it grand and ceremonial. Leave the politics to the politicians.
Jaslandia
Like a crowned democracy or a constitutional monarchy?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Death to the self appointed Monarchs! Workers of the world UNITE!
...I'm bored and thought I should say something on the rmb :)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Tserra
Exactly. Like how Nuremgard is a Crowned Commonwealth. :P
Messages always welcome on the RMB!
P.S I'm a republican in real life. ;)
Jaslandia, Oelesa
How in flying fµck did I not notice that :D
Nuremgard
My monarchy is awesome and its members are smoking hot. :P
Andromitus
Nice! First an independent Scotland... then a Socialist Republic! :D
Nuremgard
I long for the day when I live in the independent EU member state of the Republic of Scotland!
Calofas
Goodnight, Peng!
Saw my name mentioned. Should I be worried?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Percyton
Yea we've been talking about it
lol no. I had your back. I mean I did not consult if you needed someone to have your back, and did it regardless, but I had your back.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
BREAKING NEWS!!! ATHENS IN ANARCHY! GREECE FALLING APART!!!
Just a couple minutes ago, Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy due to corruption and political dissent. The king refused and backfired by suspending the bill of rights and suspending Parliament. Right wing and elite supporters and Democrats and leftists are reported to have gone in all out riots over the city and the government is collapsing. Police are being targeted and Right wing groups are attacking democrats and leftists. What will happen to Greece? What will happen to Byzantium's future?
