You want me to open the canal correct? I closed it due to a perceived threat. So...you threaten me. Yeah great incentive to open it back up. Genius.

The Suez Canal is not now, and never has been a right, its usage is a privilege. There are other routes that can be taken. Use those. My allies still have access. I can open the canal to them, and will if they need it. However I will not reopen the canal to general usage until the current crisis is averted, and I can get assurance that no attack will take place upon me. If the world wants free unfettered access perhaps it should recognize general Tserran isolationism, and neutrality. Which believe it or not we are neutral. We will help our allies if called to. We may occasionally go on an adventure, like with the thing with Al Qarn. However we have no designs on international territory. We prefer the status quo.

So respectfully Lat. Get Rekt. We will defend the canal against any and all attacks. We will weather your threats. Do what you must, but keep this threat in mind. We are a childish, and spiteful people. We will destroy this canal beyond repair if we must. We will destroy ourselves just to deny our enemy the satisfaction. *Points to a random patch of Tserran desert.* Lo and behold Lat. This is the field where I grow my fvcks. As you can see it is barren. No fvcks were grown this day.

Lol I am glad that you give zero fvcks because thats the ammount of fvcks that I will cultivate on you

Sister says Im miserable and moody without my laptop.

Thanks for the opinion. Now shut the f*ck up.

Oh, and a warning to [nation=short]the_royal_republic_of_kumania[/nation], I'm going to be sending you a boatload of anti-magnatronian anti-war crahap into your nation, because as you so brilliantly put on Discord, your people are going to be freaking pissed at "Queen Emily" for the false socialist that she really is, alongside working hand in hand against an old ally with a nation that you've treated like North Korea, with a demilitarized zone 50 times as long, for literal decades. So if you could go ahead and be realistic on that front because I doubt your people hate me enough that they'ed ally with Magnatronia; Prepare for a real socialist revolution!

>real socialist revolution

>created by a nation that wouldn't join the USCS bc it said it wasn't socialist and had a special little snowflake ideology instead of socialism

I mean, go ahead and try to instigate a "real socialist revolution" in my country while apparently not being socialist yourself. That totally sounds like a real possibility.

[spoiler]But really though, the royal family in Kumania had only stayed because the people liked the royal family. The Kumas had done a good job at running the country up to this point. Even when the Royal Parliament banned capitalism, the people didn't feel the need to oust then King Jimmy as he was a popular leader. Emily has been fairy popular too up to this point.

However, she is a very young queen. She's just turned 21. Sure she led the country through civil war (mostly being forced to do so), but peacetime is not something she's had much experience in. After nearly a year of peace, she's still trying to change her leadership mentality to that of a peacetime leader, not a wartime leader. However, she's so used to leading her people in war that she still mostly prioritizes the national security over everything else. She really sees Concord and it's capitalist nations as a threat to Kumania's socialist ways.

The Kumanian people love their sovereignty and their socialist economy, so sure while CROSS may have some sketchy characters, it's a good defensive pact against those capitalist nations that seem threatening. If that means seeking a peaceful diplomatic solution to a decades-long heated rivalry with Kumania's somewhat insane southern neighbor, so be it. Emily's attention is now on Concord. She doesn't understand why Kumania and Magnatronia need to still be rivals. The rivalry and intense militarization of the southern border has made it so more Kumanian troops can't be deployed elsewhere. However, putting an end to the rivalry and need to insanely secure the border makes it so Kumanian troops could have more mobility. They're not all stuck in southern Quebec trying to defend from a potential invasion from a rival if the rivalry ends.

It is expected that many Kumanians, mostly the baby boomers and gen x generations who have lived most of their adult lives knowing the rivalry would not be open to diplomacy with Magnatronia. They grew up being told that the Magnatronians were evil. However, the younger people don't necessarily share the same view. Sure there's a ton of millennials who also see the Magnatronians as the great Satan, but there's also a lot who don't give a frickle frackle about Magnatronia. This move will mostly piss off old people and Quebec nationalists who want to annex Maine. There will also be far-leftists who will be pissed off, but they're to the left of the mainstream.

It's possible that a majority of Kumanians could be mad but then again it could just be a massive minority. People will get mad. It's politics. There will still be millions who think Emily is trying her best to lead the country. But millions will be mad too. But I don't foresee it spelling a foreign nation being able to influence a majority of Kumanians to launch a revolution to overthrow the government when they can literally wait a year and a half until the 2022 general election to possibly vote in MPs who will allow a national referendum to determine if the royal family should be kept or abolished.

The Kumanian people aren't dumb enough to forget their right to exercise democratic ideals when they have the opportunity to be democratic. The Kumanian Civil War was caused by extremists from both sides. Now the people are more moderate in that there are no far lest or far right political parties. The anti-Royal Family wing of the governing party is basically the farthest left party and it's only a little bit further to the left than Bernie Sanders. The furthest right party is basically the Republican Party before the Tea Party conservatives and then Trumplican nazis took over the party.

I hope this has provided some nice information about my nation's political affairs for you. Have a great day.[/spoiler]

Regarding swearing.

I personally do not have an issue with swearing so long as a) they're censored in such a way so that they do not bring the wrath of the mods down upon us, and b) they're not directed at someone in a way that was meant to be offensive.

If a warning is to be issued to someone who is swearing in such a way that is offensive, it should be issued to all relevant parties.

I don't mean to be a bit cross with you, but that's quite a bit weird considering that one of the founding members of the Alliance -Kalaron- literally provided the main battle tank used by Unfallious and by Aldwood. If Kalaron were set on threatening Kumania, then they would never have provided the chance for weaponry to be purchased, yes?

Furthermore, you've gone at length about how Kumanian's really just hate Mag fully and utterly, such that your foreign affairs were based around that. RP how you want, but you have to agree that regardless of your explanation, this heel-face turn is a fair bit silly if Kalaron is seen as being more threatening than a literal slave state that wants to ruin you.

It is ok, our membership into the USCS will more than make up for the loss.

I mean there's common courtesy to inform the guy running the factbook when you leave, like I'm inactive rn I can't deal with reading the petty RP posts about some sh!t war but I expect to be paid a little notice just to be like 'hey we're gone cya' so I can like update stuff.

Great! Because things are about to get FUBAR, especially with that collusion with CROSS thing. Plus that overarching issue with two membership requests sitting in a dust bin somewhere.

Even though any member of the USCS can propose a new member if you don't send your USCS application to me personally there's no guarantee it'll be proposed to the Council

Its pretty straight forward. Look at the map. Pick an empty spot. TG the map due. ([nation=short]Baxten[/nation]) and wait for him to get back to you. Pretty easy really.

It's kinda pointless to expand influence in Africa, especially when you've managed to tick off a handful of nations by claiming international waters.

Calm Unfallious, I'll say what I said to Lat to watch the swearing; Especially because that was all unwarranted from my vantage point.

Because in all honesty that wasn't something you can pull off as "Oh I was meaning it towards myself, how I dont give a".

I've spoke in this manner since 2013 and never been warned for swearing. If one of you people were it's because you made a comment with liberal use of multiple swears. And considering you were swearing quite a bit yesterday I'd say you shouldn't be the one talking.

So you can take your constable role and shove it

Unfallious the primary reason I targeted you in this particular instance is because

A) it was unwarranted

B) That was way more than necessary, more or less the basic definition of harassment

C) Latrovia was literally sharing what was going on in his nation, you were, and still are, trying to instigate a fight

yeah I don't really care why you targeted me can you like suppress my posts or something so we can move on because I'm bored now

Okay gentlemen, let's not let this small situation grow any larger.

Unf, I believe Andy is acting from a position of simply wanting to keep the peace. If he's in any position similar to mine, then he's been hearing from people saying that they're feeling the RMB as of late has been much of a welcoming place. This isn't one person's fault specifically, and it certainly isn't your fault as we all recognize that you have hardly even been on NationStates these past few weeks. But, I think Andy's choice to target swearing today is an effort to address the complaints that some people- both newcomers and older members- aren't happy with the typical RMB discourse as of late.

Andy, Unf is right that swearing has never been a target for legal intervention in the past unless in cases where it is specifically directed at someone (ex. Person X is a Y"). If it ever had been outlawed, Lavan would have been booted from every region we've had dating back to CFN 1.0. I agree Unf's targeting of Lat, who was just sharing what was going on in his nation, wasn't exactly nice. But we're not the enforcers of nice-ness; we're the enforcers of the law.

Keeping both of these larger points in mind, I would take it as a personal favour if people were just a little less forceful with their opinions of one another's RP posts, RMB posts, or position of their favourite colour. Simply for the sake of making this an enjoyable place for as many people as possible and for retaining our old members and encouraging new ones.

Alright. End of my hippie utopia rant. Love you guys. Please don't flay me.
