Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Hmmm.... I wonder why...
Spanelsko
Thank you, sorry for answering a bit later, i was updating the factbook quite heavily (pictures mostly)
Golden words my friend.
Russkov Soviet
No worries. I'm at work, so I don't check as often. And golden words indeed.
Spanelsko
Small announcement of the Great Supreme Lord Khan of Spankaen Horde.
New Capital: Askana (former Madrid)
Large army reforms will continue on during these next few days, updates to weapons and vehicles.
More war crimes, and slavery.
End of the announcement.
Russkov Soviet
As I expected. xD
Spanelsko
Are you referring to the military part or the slave and war crimes part comrade? :p
Russkov Soviet
Likely both
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
TCADS has the right of it.
The Cross And Davids Star, Spanelsko
True
Good to know :p
BTW TCADS do you have slaves? if not we can always export some.... my other question is whether or not you know of some cruel ways to torment people? I have mostly run out of ideas....
Russkov Soviet
Erm... can you consider conscripts to be slaves? If so, yes, I have plenty of them.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
i am also thinking (just now had that idea) that i will add some ´´lore´´ to the different sections of the new factbooks.
It could quite nicely help with the Horde idea.
Russkov Soviet
I personally prefer the term ´´expendable resources´´ but yes.
Russkov Soviet
On the other question, we have PLENTY of different torture methods.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Tsk... I am unsure of this at the immediate moment, but I might be changing my nations race to centaurs, my style of government to something a little more monarchy-based, and a few other things. Still a WIP. xD
Hmm... I might do a pirate one.. been playing a ton of Assassins Creed Black Flag....
Spanelsko
Pirate Monarchist Centaurs? Sounds interesting to say at least.
Russkov Soviet, Rogdol
Well... Its either going to be pirates OR a monarchy... Both just won't work. Hmmm.... Or will it? Might try it.
Spanelsko
Good luck either way.... but yeah..... arghhh my emperor would sound quite funny :p
Russkov Soviet
Wowza, I let this nation go.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Ouch. But hey... Your back! Glad to see ya!
Zakastibad, Spanelsko
Hey, Im the leader of Rogdol.
Im not new to Nationstates but I am new to this region so I just wanted to say hello as your 100th resident.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Hello and welcome!
I am Peng or Pengu. Long-time member of this community.
Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay. :D
Russkov Soviet, Rogdol, Spanelsko
Welcome to the region, i hope you enjoy your stay here, if you need anything don't ask me :p
I would have normally welcomed you in my ´´own´´ way but i don't want to scare you off from the region with the insanity of my nation :p
EDIT: also you have quite an interesting factbook... so many banners.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase. (issue with heterosexuals only law guess what the cut off means)
Reclassification
Spanelsko was reclassified from an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy to a Moralistic Democracy.
HOW AM I MORAL?!
Russkov Soviet
Beats me bruv, looks like you need to change.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
probably, i mean i have slavery, serfdom and have just castrated all homosexuals in my lands (the issue that i mentioned before) and yet i gained Morality from this.... has NS Gods decided to forgive my crimes?....
Russkov Soviet, Rogdol
Welcome comrade! My name is Aleksi Coltsov, son of the Great Aleksander Coltsov, and I want to personally welcome you to the CoFN! If you need anything, let us know!
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Since its spooktober, the region acronym kind of makes sense.
CoFN
Coffin
You see where Im going with this?
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
I do actually. Huh... Well then xD
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
You're actually not the first one. One of our former regional leaders named our forums' web link thusly.

Glad the SNP has expressed its collective support for a second referendum on Brexit, hopefully Sturgeon can help push other parties in the right direction along with the Liberal Democrats and hopefully Labour.
Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia
I agree tbh, just hope Labour can get its head out of its arse down south and supports it as well.
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
There wont be a second referendum on Brexit in my opinion. What bugs me about the Lib Dems in Scotland is that they've been demanding Sturgeon support a second EU referendum but refuse to support a second indyref.
Basically, the SNP must only support referendums the Lib Dems lose but referendums the Lib Dems won must not be repeated. Funny that.
I'd say the issues in the context of "should" there be a second referendum, the issues are quite separate in regards to Brexit and the Indyref in my opinion.
Would you support a Labour government granting permission for indyref 2?
If the majority of Scots wanted it, yes - I'd support any government giving a second referendum because I support self-determination. I can't support it when I feel like it/it suits me, if ygm.
Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia
Well the Scottish Parliament has a pro-indy majority and passed the request for a Section 30. So there is a mandate for indyref 2.

Learned about the Plantation of Ulster today. Various attempts at plantation by English monarchs had been unsuccessful but things turned around when James VI took the English throne.
I guess when you want something done right, you need to get a Scot to do it. ;)
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova
Hmm? The US Elections are here? Bah.
Penguania And Antarctica
I have my own version of the UK but the DUP would hate it.

I missed all of you gorgeous individuals, so I returned.

The Talking Point
Spanelskoan tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode.
I have nothing to do with this.... it speaks for itself.
Russkov Soviet
The Talking Point
The government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders.
Explanation: We want to fight in wars... and we hate communists, so why not make more enemies to fight?
Russkov Soviet
I'll just let the recent conflict speak for it....
Your government wants to spread the glory that is Communism, just so they can destroy it? Wow... Unique!
Spanelsko
In the case of the conflict, we didn't exactly plan to invade, it was basically by random chance for the most part that you found out about the bombings, which lead to war. So.... i am not exactly sure how i want to continue this sentence to justify bombing civilians... moral grounds based on holy war for the Four Supreme Dragon Gods? Of course, the god of war demands blood! And Skulls for the Skull throne! So why not kill Bolsheviks while fighting a holy war for the betterment of humanity at the same time?
Also i find it funny that our poor income is higher then your, and we are fighting communism :p
EDIT: same for average and rich income, does that mean that Spanelsko is wealthier then the Motherland?
Russkov Soviet
Wealthier in a way, yes. But this is merely the means to an end. My father, Alexander, is reaching his final months. He is not long for this realm, so we have made the Union something to be proud of! Our nation is one of the most beautiful in the region, and the last known bastion of Communism. But, like all things, times have changed... soon, there will be a day where the Equestrian Union will finally cease to exist, but will be reborn anew. So I raise a glass to your wealth and prosperity.
Spanelsko
I am sorry to hear that, he was and still is a great comrade soviet. I was wondering did you or your father ever achieve a true communism? Or the failure version of USSR only? The Union will likely remain for a long time, maybe under a different name but to me and Spanelsko, it will always remain in our minds as what we could have been if we didn't go full on death metal apocalypse style of a nation, which explains why there is so much radiation and wastelands everywhere in Iberia. (i am trying to change it a bit with underground forests and vegetation as well as animals)
He is also welcome to visit our capital if he wants to, from what i know he never visited so as a gesture of good will i would like to offer him something like a special tour around Askana or perhaps some other kind of a gift.
BTW i also updated the message from before, somehow we accidentally put a part of the message inside your own text.
Russkov Soviet
We did, albeit temporarily, succeed in achieving true and glorious communism. Unfortunately, the collapse of the Soviet Union saw the collapse of our own system as well.... As for your offer, I will talk it over with him.
And no worries. It happens.
Spanelsko
Wentowrth Miller from Prison Break is such a hunk. Him being gay just makes him even hotter.
Bearlong, Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Although we have not embraced communism or facism, we are the ones responsible for the Theocratic Bio-Weapon Crisis, and will happily meet your leader with open arms and an outstreched hand, perhaps he would like to tour the rich lands that we have to pride ourselves upon.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Important News
The High Servant has hearby decreed that the regulations barring a court system within The Cross and Davids Star be rendered null and void, and a new court system has been officially put it place.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
You have slavery and affirmative action. That's a hilarious combination.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Is there even point in courts and judges really? To me good old arena fight to the death could replace it quite well.
Russkov Soviet, The Cross And Davids Star
Ave imperator! Morituri te salutant!
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
And you have illegalized smoking with legalized marijuana. That too is a hilarious combination.
Spanelsko
True but I've been trying to legalise smoking for ages.
Spanelsko
Montague brandishes a copy of the offending book in your face while hiding in your office from a torch-bearing mob. This so-called religious text endorses people who commit murder, slavery, incest, genocide, and environmental destruction as holy and devout men. It deserves burning! I dont care how popular or moral Cult of Chaos is these days: this so-called holy text is a blueprint for barbarism. That kind of evil has no place in our so-called civilized society. Montague panics and flees through your window as the mob breaks down the door.
Since when were we civilised? And the genocide, slavery, murder, incest and burning environment sounds like a everyday thing here.
Russkov Soviet
NS is drunk. Ignore it. xD. Also, I've thought over your offer of visiting. I have decided to accept, but will be bringing heavy security just in case.
Spanelsko
I accept your most gracious offer.
The Cross And Davids Star, Spanelsko
No problem for us, i would also advise to bring a gas mask or something to protect from the sand storms
(rude can be heard in the background) and the poisoned air all over Iberia. Or we can provide it ourselves once he arrives.
Also good luck on his trip to TCADS.
Russkov Soviet
I'll make a note of that.
Same here.
Nuremgard
I'm also trying to cut my crushing taxes.
Mercunova
Start favoring businesses if possible.
I have. That's how I solved my unemployment problem. It has come at the expense of my poor's income which has collapsed from being over 200,000 to being just under 40,000. I have been dismissing all other issues and am waiting for mainly tax-related issues.
Mercunova
The Talking Point
Hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Spanelskoan Hungry Games.
I am fascinated that this increased all incomes (rich, average, poor) also does anyone want to send their people/prisoners to the
Askana Hungry Death Games?
Russkov Soviet
Time to redress for the spooky season. Any comments on my flag design?
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lex Caledonia, Spanelsko, The British Islands Confederacy
i like it, looks quite well.
Also Spooky Scary Penguins sounds nice :p
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Why not. I've still got some privateers left from the Scandinavian Conflict a few years back.
Spanelsko
Great, more death means more fun and more profit for the workers revolution, as well as pleasing the God's in the process, also once your Supreme Premier arrives we will let him visit the most famous locations as well, he is free to spend here as much time as he wants.
(going to add a bit more to a new section of the factbook also known as just pictures)
Russkov Soviet
Glad to hear it. And Supreme Premier does sound like a great title... Might have to change mine. The helicopter will be arriving shortly.
Spanelsko
Looks cool!
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Good, i will welcome him personally, may his stay here be great, today is a rather nice, with the beautiful fresh radiated air.
Anyway brother TCADS if you are reading this, you are also welcome to visit us murderous brother regime.
(off topic, comrade ruskov didn't you say that you were going to make a peace treaty? if you gave up on that idea its fine with me)
Russkov Soviet
Good night everyone :)
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
I actually temporarily gave up on that. I am reading through a few documents to find ideas for mine.
Good Night!
We humbly accept. Just expect our envoy to carry protective equipment, since your lands appear to be worse then the Theocracys industrial sector.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
suitably spooky, gave me a wee fright
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
I like the skeleton leaning against the shield. I am very proud of this part. :)
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Lex Caledonia
I am honored to know that we destroyed our environment more then you with your industrial sectors comrade Theocrat. And we would have suggested some protection either way so you made our job easier friend.
Russkov Soviet
I love all your special flag designs
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Nuremgard's new Conservative government has fulfilled one of its cornerstone manifesto promises: to solve the unemployment problem.
Now it must work on cutting taxes severely until they're at more reasonable levels. Then it can start fixing the many issues caused by the now massive income inequality.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Hey The Confederacy Of Free Nations.
Just a good luck to you all in the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

The tank drives off, ruining the gardens around your office. I cant believe you let amateurs use heavy armor, comments Randy du Pont, a military attaché from Maxtopia. Occupying unruly neighborhoods can reduce unrest, but only if the job is done by professionals. Let the army handle all police work from now on, and you wont have untrained idiots demolishing every street sign in their path. Nothing maintains law and order quite like the barrel of a gun and a proper curfew.
So from now on all police becomes part of the military, Totalism forever!
(i do find it interesting that this boosts education and manufacturing)

Glad to hear it. While I do keep the military and police separate as a service, the weapons are not.
Hmm... I'm not sure, but I think I dismissed it.

[spoiler]The Issue
A teacher and four schoolchildren were killed on a field trip in a remote region of Spanelsko after an old anti-personnel mine was accidentally detonated. The landmines - relics of the nations previous wars - have taken the lives of many over the years.
[/spoiler]
How is this an issue?
[spoiler]The Talking Point
Students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic.[/spoiler]
seems simple enough
[spoiler]The Talking Point
The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists.[/spoiler]
Might be a bit ironical

The fate of the world literally rests on The Great Supreme Lord Khan's fingers.
Does it now?
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
When does the Day Z start? I am going to be either Military based or the Researcher.
(don't want to get gang up upon by the forces of evil like last year)
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
War never ends, even after the fighting stopped. Good luck in cleaning those up, if you decide to, for the Red Army is still taking casualties from the mines laid down by the Third Reich years ago and now yours.
Those of us who hold nuclear weapons dictate the world, for the worlds survival depends on our satisfaction.
And I thought you were one of the evil hordes last year?
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
War never ends indeed, war is eternal... we fight for survival each day.... we murder others for many reasons.... for the Gods.... or perhaps for our own bloodlust.... as for the mines, a child should be able to disarm one as soon as possible, or to make one itself, its never late to blow up your enemy for fun. Even if i decided to clear out the land from mines.... it would literally take centuries with how many we stacked all over Iberia. Which is why i prefer to be in a tank..... makes you feel safer....
As for the Nuclear thing, the world exists for suffering, and we are the ones who deliver such things upon our world, it would be waste to kill everyone so soon...... the world must embrace suffering before we can eradicate it..... although as long as we can kill the most people we don't mind launching them now.....
And the Evil thing, have you ever considered the Zombies? You take their lives.... their chance at being part of something greater....just due to your selfish desires you reject the gift of immortality.... the gift of freedom.... we aren't evil.... you are.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
The Talking Point
The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations.
TCADS when did we begin supplying you with nuclear weapons? I don't even remember us ever talking about such thing.
Russkov Soviet, The Cross And Davids Star
There is the vague possibility of your shipping being raised and it could also be terrorist propaganda.
Spanelsko
Don't worry comrade, we are indeed supplying the terrorist organisations, just didn't expect TCADS to be one of them, well who really cares about the fact that Iberia supplies nuclear missiles to Middle East? WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Russkov Soviet
Once again, science has the answer, says Weena Cheswick, Laboratory Director of HIVEMIND, a state-funded research group. If we use genetics to modify the bees, they can be made resistant to disease and live longer. This, my friends, is the breakthrough we need to stabilize the honeybee populations. Itll require a boatload of funding and we might accidentally create killer bees like the dreaded Maxtopian hornet, but we need to save natures black and yellow friends while we have the chance.
The Talking Point
Foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Spanelskoan bee.
Well this went south real quick.
