Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Greetings! How are you?
Percyton
Well, inflation isn't bad per se. There just need to be a inflationary adjustment to the wages. If the wages would rise with the same percentages as the inflation goes up then it wouldn't be bad for people. But that doesn't happen. It just happens every 5 years or so. But inflation happens annualy.
e.g. Inflation rate is 2%
2016 it costs 100
2017 it costs 102
2018 it costs 103.02
2019 it costs 105.08
2020 it costs 107.18
So the price went up to 107.18 . But not until now the wage of let's say 100 is increased to 102 .
That's the real problem.
Nuremgard, Minnesota Dakota
You are right, wages should rise with inflation in an ideal situation.

Oh. That sucks. Hopefully you get power back soon!

The Issue
After stepping off the path in Fortress Iberia Park to take a picture of a tiger, a Bigtopian tourist was subject to Spanelsko Defense Regulations Volume 4, Bylaw 8-A, Chapter 23, Section G-17-5, Paragraph 4b and was subsequently obliterated by a full battalion of Spanelskos finest.
I am so proud of my soldiers.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Thats just how our glorious nation operates! says Sierra Egan, the Sub-Minister of Internal Affairs of the Defense of the Internal Affairs of the National Sub-Committee of Sovereign Urban Parks. We didnt get where we are today by letting those dirty, out-of-line foreigners trample our carefully manicured petunia bushes! She tries to wave a copy of the Spanelsko Defense Regulations Volume 4 at you for emphasis, the sheer bulk of the tome forces her to resort to instead slamming the book onto your desk. The legs creak under the weight. We need more safeguards against external aggression: no entry signs in multiple languages, tracking anklets issued at the border, oodles of barbed wire, and high-yield minefields! Summer tourists and all other miscreants like them are a threat to society, and if we need to have a show of force to keep them in line, by the Dictatorship we should do so!
I agree.......
Nuremgard
You can hear yelling and a rising deep rumbling crescendo of noise, then a main battle tank bursts through the doors... and part of the wall. The top hatch opens, and Colonel Jack Lopez (the officer in charge of the apprehension of the unfortunate tourist) pops out. Now you listen to me, Leader, the last thing we need is more handsy-pansy suits getting in the way of our work! We should have no more requests to obliterate, signed in triplicate, sent in between 0800 and 1500 hours, sent back, queried, lost, found, subject to public inquiry, lost again, and finally discovered in the basement of Fortress Iberia Library underneath a treatise about gummy worms! The Colonel pulls a handgun the size of a small dog from his waistband and drops it onto the regulation almanac. The legs of your desk groan. Give the military control over how to dispose of all these pesky law-breakers. Weve been dying to test out these new Spanelsko-made Super Obliterator 3000s, anyway!
The Talking Point
Heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors.
Well i think we might have went a bit overboard with this, but it sure as hell is a lot of fun!

I don't know much of the candidates, or stuff about Linke (except it is Left-wing). But from the moment Die Linke and Syriza (Coalition of Radical Left) are mutually endorsed, sorry. I can't exactly support them
Why would you? Aren't you a conservative?
Obviously
I was only asking because you said you couldn't support Die Linke since they have connections with a radical left group but why would you support Die Linke in the first place?
Said that just for emphasis
Ah, I see. My apologies. I can be a bit dense at times.

Hello Confederacy!
I came into office this term facing one of the most pressing population crisises that this region has ever seen, one described by our previous Chancellor as a state of emergency.
I took it upon myself to salvage our population, bringing our population to a peak of over 170 nations (now leveled at 130), sending over 15,000 recruitment telegrams, restarting the Mentorship Program, and initiating merger conversations with three regions, but I want to do more!
Last election cycle the electorate of the Confederacy of Free Nations put their faith in me, [I]you all[/I] put your faith in me, a refugee from Libertatem, and I ensured that I would not let you down. This cycle, with the consent and blessing from our current Chancellor, I ask you to do the same as I am seeking election as Chancellor of the CoFN.
I plan to once again drastically increase not only our population, but our number of interested and invested citizens as well as work with the rest of the Cabinet to bring true reform for the Confederacy in all plausible departments.
Thank you,
South Hyder

Just wait til the Empire's back.
Across the region the people cheer, for now there's nothing left to fear
From Stalliongrad to Moscow they ride, soldiers full of pride
Watch the enemy scream as they rout, and behind them the people shout...
HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HERE COMES THE RED ARMY!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Czeko Russika
No power still. Expecting it by tomorrow hopefully. If it takes to the weekend I'm going to die of high stress levels
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
You should buy a small generator if there are often power outages.
Nice pretitle btw :D
Jaslandia
Thankya :)
And the outages aren't common, its just that this one was quite severe compared to others I've been through which usually only last 5 hours or so at maximum.
Penguania And Antarctica
Good luck that they restore the power infrastructure soon.
Also from what I observed in this region the US has a pretty bad power grid with a lot of malfunctions every time. To me it seems like every month there is at least one of the US people here talking about a power outage they experience at that very moment.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
makes sense, well anyway i hope you enjoy yourself here in Confederation.
Czeko Russika
just a random question since i saw the medieval/fantasy RP i wanted to ask this.
What are your favourite fantasy races people?
My if it wasnt obvious from Z day are Undead. (Lich King FTW)
Elves. Blood elves from WoW, Bretons (half-elves) from Elder Scrolls, Elves from Dragon Age, ect.
Spanelsko
I am very happy that Hyder wants to run. I think he can do much. I declare my interest to fill his Vice-Chancellor seat. I promise to write new Recruitment and welcome TGs, as well as create a special body, made up by SCJs, VC, Chancellor, and a few citizens, to discuss many proposals that citizens have to improve this region.
Within two days, I will announce many policy plans. Also, I am ready to hear your proposals, to incorporate them in my platform, and I will continue doing this as a VC!
South Hyder
I think a touch of it is just the sheer size of the US. It's truely expensive to build it up and repairing the roads and bridges alone would cost nearly a trillion to two trillion dollars.
It's just hard to secure much of it at any time, even when it's subdivided by fifty.
Werewolves. Though quite honestly I don't like fantasy.
