Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Let's form the Waclian Developmental Support Union
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Percyton, Waclia
Get outta here you bandwaggoner!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Friedensreich
If Fried's right about anything, it's that we leftists have to stick together
I recommend the North Naboo Pact, but I'll be making another alliance soon.
Axeldonia
Commit more to the revolution and I'll consider it, you have quite a bit to prove to the Left comrade
Vista Major, Friedensreich
*glances at clothes*
We're reformist market democratic socialists. Can't say we have much in the way of revolution except overthrowing the Nationalists.
And [nation=short+noflag]Baxten[/nation]; we wrecked them a long while back
Damn revisionists
Oelesa, Waclia
First RP, military development or land reforms? I'm thinking land reforms.

Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Oelesa, Waclia
Percyton has a very good international aid department, and we'd also be willing to help Waclia. We can help with infrastructure, and especially railways (since Percyton has a lot of sentient locomotives, myself included).
By the way, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you enjoy your time in the CFN!
Jaslandia, Vista Major
I have decided the first thing I shall do when I am on the map is have the President begin further land and infrastructural reforms to both expand and modernize Afghanistan's farming sector, especially opium farming.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, Percyton
Sounds like a plan!
Oelesa, Waclia
The Kohali Republic's main concern is building up a defense.

Mind explaining you were in Libertatem then?

CONCORD
Vista Major, Oelesa
I was banned unrighteously, so I felt I still deserved a voice.
Man, you seriously have some obsession with me, yeah? Going back in the RMB that far to find that to try and jab me?
Oelesa
Whether you were banned righteously or not, it is still a ban. And it wasn't very hard to find that post, it's right on the nation activity page.

Unjust laws, citizens have a responsibility to break them. I find it flattering, really, how obsessed you are with me, constantly trying to reference me or my party when you at one time were trying to overthrow the government. Why don't you go ahead and put yourself on trial for that?
This is CoFN's RMB. If you really wanted to be done with it, you wouldn't be doing this. You already had the CFN stop a merger because you guys are corrupt, I don't think you want to keep that streak going.
Please don't lynch me. :(

Paws can't lynch
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Pirate Kingdoms, Percyton
I would not lynch Peng. I love Peng. Peng is delicious. Peng is possibly dinner. :D
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms, Percyton
You were given the opportunity to prove your innocence in a trial, and you declined it in favor of a plea deal. Then, you continued to break the laws. Believe it or not, breaking the law comes with consequences.

Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa
*cough* apply for citizenship!
Oelesa
I took the plea deal because your judicial system was literally decided by ONE guy. The only reason you got the jury system was because of me and the Reform Party, and mostly Hyder.
So, if this one guy didn't like me, he'd declare me guilty no matter what. Seeing how your justice can be political, it was pretty clear your justice had a distaste for the Reform Party.
I had a really strong case for innocence, hence why your best friend only gave me one month with unlimited appeal for class A treason. Remember that?
And the request for decorum is ignored. *sigh*
Jaslandia, Oelesa
You're right, sorry for bringing it here.
Vista Major, Oelesa
It is ok. He can do what he wants until the Constables or Moderators get involved, and Rainbow Space Cat Founder is not a Rainbow Space Cat Lawyer, but he does not think there is reason for either to get involved right now.
Meow.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
They would be called MP's now. Technically there is no government as we haven't elected one yet. Thats why this temporary government election is going on.

I'm sorry, but can you guys please keep your drama off of COFN's RMB?
Jaslandia, South Hyder, Kohalo
Yes, sorry. I'll keep it in Libertatem.
Oelesa
I feel
She would not request it. I mean people groveling at her feet is always neat, but culturally we do not tend to bow. It shows weakness, so we do not expect it in return.
Pirate Kingdoms
Danke: just needed it before I post.
I mean, if you allowed the Eurasian Ædenist Branch to operate within you, both as a public service organization and a political party (you get to choose between three options wooo!) then we could have you hop skipping and jumping towards the glorious peoples revolution in no time flat.
Great! You know, railways could help quite a bit in transporting agricultural products to the markets, so if you need any help with that, let me know!
Ah yes, railway strikes; Percyton isn't a stranger to those. Back in about 1935, the big engines (Gordon, Henry, and James) went on strike because they refused to shunt their own coaches. In fact, that's why I was bought, to help 'break the strike' and get the railway running again.
https://youtu.be/i7HnbiTBzJI
There was also one time in 1991, when me and Duck went on strike to protest the fact that Sir Topham Hatt had brought Diesel back. Sir Topham Hatt managed to talk us out of it, but we still didn't like working with Diesel, and we were glad when Sir Topham Hatt sent him away again.

So, if I wanma post some RP bulletins, do I ppst here or in some other forum?
as you're the Soviets, can I be allowed to use Soviet weaponry?
I can compile a list of equipment if you'd like.
Russkov Soviet
Doesn't matter too much. I'd say post them here, post them in a dispatch/factbook, or post them on the Confederacy General RP region.

What's up ?
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Yukona, Percyton
Hello Peng! How are you today?
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I'm doing good. Was downtown for strolling and to get my sunglasses adjusted. Ate at a asian diner and had delicious ice-cream at a italian ice-cream parlour. Also bought a funny book. Now I am relaxing because it's already past midnight. :)
How about you ?
Jaslandia, Yukona, Percyton, Waclia
Weeny Hut General?
Jaslandia
Am I to wait until I officially get confirmed as Afghanistan before I roleplay?
Andromitus, Oelesa
But I bring the party and vodka. We are wanting much dancing and fun.
But of course Comrade. Just telegram me what your wanting, and I'll see what I can do.
Waclia
Eh, no one else is looking at it, and [nation=short]Baxten[/nation] must be taking a break. Nothing really stopping you, if you want to play as Afghanistan I feel like the community would be pretty chill with it.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Percyton, Waclia
I'm watching a miniseries about the Easter Rising in Ireland. You?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm doing good, thanks. I got held up with a goods trains at Elsbridge earlier today, and I ended up arriving late at Knapford, but other than that, I can't complain.

My great grandfather was apart of that.
Night night <3
Well....I will be planning on attending your nation. A pleasure trip. Need to get out of the country for a few days.
I do hope the arrival of the Equestrian Premier won't shake things up too bad. I'll even ship my own train if need be. xP
Jaslandia, Percyton
Good on him for fighting for his country.
Kohalo
Cool, I see there's a separate region for posting RPs. It'll be up there.
I'll TG you.

Goodnight, Peng!
Prince Regent Jason has also been considering a state visit to Percyton.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Goodnight, Peng!
Great! I'm looking forward to both of your visits. My office will be in contact with your offices to plan out the details. And of course, we can provide any transportation you need, or you can bring your own. If you do bring your own train, we could also bring the engine to life at no charge if you'd like!

http://iiwiki.com/wiki/XM-182_KPS
(Note: MBT-90 had it's rights bought by Unf, I'll have to ask him if it's OK to release it for sale since he's leaving the MT-RP scene.)
The MBT-90's been copyrighted? Hmm.... I'll just go designate mine as MBT-91's or such
I named my design the MBT-90 after the T-90, yes.
You can just name yours with the "T" designation if you'd like, keeps it more in line with Russia anyhow. (T-64, T-72 T-95)
Russkov Soviet
I just looked at my factbook in preparation to change it. I have a T-91 MBT... so...guess I thought ahead.
Why do we allow nations of other regions claim on our regional map?
Not a single clue. Well in the case of GR its because they might as well be us anyways. As for other regions, not a clue. The only region I personally tolerate being on the map aside from us is GR, but its not really my choice.
I was against it, but the idea was to have for people rp. I didn't agree but its whatever.
I don't think we should. It takes up space for nations that actually want to engage in roleplay, but they can't because a spot was claimed and isn't even being used
I agree. Then again I have always been a CoFN first kinda guy. Regional isolationist over here.
Oelesa, Kohalo
How do we change it?
Oelesa
Voting our overlords out of office
It's Bax's property, and most people don't really mind it that much. If it get's bad then just speak to him and we'll go from there.
I think a motion in Parliament would do it, or you could even create a bill to dictate the map a little more. No laws prohibit the why the map is conducted or how rp is. It's all up to who makes the map and who is making the rp.
So when government starts on the 19th you can make a move to fix it. You can't right now, as there is no Speaker to conduct or end voting.
Let's wait till we get the new government up and running
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Kohalo
That's fine enough, yeah. It'd be hard for me to change because...you know...the page name can't be changed.
Also, just remember the numbers for that factbook :P
In fact, in reference to that factbook, a number of small details kinda came up as not being quite right, they're nothing big (And frankly, nothing close to the worst I've seen) but they're a bit nagging in an otherwise well formatted piece.
A) Though there is a T-80 tank and several variants including the Ukrainian T-84, there is no T-86. I'm not sure if this was a stylistic choice on your part so as to continue the development line, but when I looked it up a shutter-stock photo of what I imagine to be a T-80BV came up, so I figured I might as well say something if it was a case of mis(tank)en identity :P
B) Though Heavy Tanks did once share a different role than their smaller cousins, the MBT; they have absorbed by the MBT in the modern day. For example, the Leopard 1 is clearly lighter than the M103 (40 tons compared to 59 tons), but the modern M1A2 weighs six tons more than the M103 while also being much faster (23.8 hp/t compared to 12.7 hp/t) and arguably harder to penetrate. As such, you may want to remove the heavy tanks from the equation completely.
There's some other stuff, but I'd rather not put the whole thing on the RMB without reason :D
Again, it's probably better to just talk to Bax about it since it's his property.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Oelesa is coming back. A new leader, a new constitution, and new ambition. Check the rp region for me.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
Thanks for the critical input. The T-86 is an Equestrian variant and continuation of the T-8X Line. And considering our "heavy" tanks? I'll get them reclassified to MBT's . (I have the RP numbers written down offsite. The overview is my nation as it lives, but I'll keep the numbers low in RP) And please telegram me anytime. I appreciate your criticism.
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Tserra
Ah, alrighty.
I'll see about what else I find :D
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
Thank you. You have no idea how refreshing that is. Most people when criticized by Kal in the past, have flown off the handle. Thank you for being reasonable.
