Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

also as for the extreme right wing, i did argue that both extremes should be under control since both lead to stupidity and pointless war/ideological insanity.

As for national socialism i do agree that it should be banned, as for the idea of fascism its not really that bad if you leave out the racial superiority (not that it isnt really better in any way)

Not too many guidelines on that. It could be a news article, but it could also be a regular RP post. I guess the two main things are: Don't violate any of the normal rules of RP, and try not to go too long (or if you do go long, spoiler some parts, like Pirate did with the various sample ballots).

I've been better, Jas. I have a bad case of boiler ache, so I couldn't pull the mail train tonight. Thomas would usually take the mail train instead, but he and Murdoch are busy sorting an important goods train at Knapford Harbour. Thankfully, Edward kindly volunteered to take the mail tonight.

not to mention most of the time when i am forced to talk about things like these my ´´opponent´´ loses due to lack of information or they are just simply stupid, so as mentioned before it was good to argue with someone who knows things and actually beats me like nothing, for me it was a fun experience.

So if anyone has to say sorry its me :)

Breathing difficulties have been the bane of my existence for the past few days. Every night, I seem to have difficulties breathing. I don't know why this is happening, but I would say that it is caused by either asthma, anxiety, a seasonal allergy, or something else entirely. I have just decided to go on an allergy medication to see if that could help, but it might just be useless. And if you were wondering why I am venting all of this onto this region on the internet, then I would like to tell you that I have talked about this to real people and real life and solutions are hard to find.

But it’s ok to loot and attack the police? Makes perfect sense. Don’t just attack random people, but burn their stuff and if someone tries to intervene because it’s their job, well it’s ok to attack them too. That right there, that is terrorism.

Sorry to hear that, Con. I can't really say much to help you, especially since I'm an engine and engines don't really really experience chronic breathing problems like that. The best I can do is suggest you see a doctor as soon as you can; a doctor can help you better than a random person on the Internet can.

Attacks against the police are not examples of terrorism. Terrorist attacks are conducted on civilians for a political purpose. The police are not a part of the civilian population. Additionally, you are presenting your argument on an individual scale, which is flawed. You are saying that it's not okay to attack someone for doing their job of preventing violence. The problem with that argument is that attacks against the police don't happen because of hatred of an individual, but are happening because of a hatred of an institution that enforces state authority. On an individual level, the vast majority of people on the job are good, average folk, but it is what they are doing that is being pushed back against.

Attacking anyone with the purpose of advocating your beliefs through violence is terrorism. Suicide bombing a police station or military installation is terrorism.

Gotta concur with Constidor.

Riots are not done on individual basis, where a single man attacks a police officer because he has a hatred of that police officer. Rather, the man is attacking the officer because he represents an organization or construct that the man disagrees with and has a hatred towards.

But you’re right too. Using violence to advance a political agenda is morally and ethically wrong in a civil society that allows for peaceful alternatives. One thing, though, while calling it terrorism is technically correct if you get down to semantics, it carries a whole different connotation than how you would describe a rioter.

I would think that this is related to something in the past, if anything at all. I am sorry that you've been having difficulty with this. Not the same thing per say, but I have had occasions where I couldn't breath during or just after sleep, but likely not apnea. It does take time.

That would mean that the judiciary is not functioning in a way that follows the constitution, having only 2 judges instead of 3, and would make any interpretations, legislation reviews, and criminal/civil cases heard since ContComm’s resignation entirely null because of this fact.

That, and maybe best lore Factbooks. No offense to everyone else with great lore Factbooks.

And as for the elections thing, Talkative Friedensriech, I appreciate your concerns, but I don't think anything will be solved over the RMB. If you're still worried about this, I suggest you formally bring it to the courts and let me and Kal formally deliberate over this (I know that's a bit ironic, since by your logic our deliberation and decision wouldn't have any value without a third justice, but this is what we have right now).

Percyton

It looks like I got Top 5% in the world for most advanced public transport! I can't say it's much of a surprise, though I think Percyton should be a bit higher.

Also, the description for the public transport category says: "World Census experts captured, tagged, and released trains in order to identify which nations have the most extensive, well-funded public transportation systems." Considering our trains our alive, that might be a bit awkward.

Thomas: Oi! What's going on? I have a passenger train to pull!

World Census expert: Give us a sec, we won't be long.

Thomas: Why are you putting that chip on my boiler?

WA: Tracking.

Thomas: Tracking for what?

WA: Stuff.

Thomas: What kind of stuff?

WA: *sighs* The trains in Tserra weren't nearly as talkative as the ones here...

Thomas: I heard that!

Thanks so much, Kal! I'm just trying to have fun and brighten everyone's day, and if I become 'cute' in the process, well, I don't mind that at all.

You can thank the Bureau of Historical Information for that! The people and engines there always put together such great work!

Anyway the next election is coming close, and if I remeber correctly, SCJs are up for election. I don't think that moving for a by election for just two weeks or something will be the best solution

Very strange how you loathe France and love Russia and China

My ranking takes many more things into account than just governments. And in my mind, there is nothing for me in France.

“Well I got a problem with these cross-dressers,” spits cargo-hauler Stan Rolfe. “One time I thought I was hitting on this waitress at the pie shop, only turns out she was a he. Man, it sickens me. Lock dem all in an asylum till they get their heads straight!”

Me: Still waiting for execution button.

“What mankind does has no bearing on whether the weather is warm,” rants Castiel O'Brien, a columnist at the think-tank Convenient Truths. “Ratifying this treaty would be economic suicide, and it’s well-known that the threats of so-called ‘climate change’ have been exaggerated by countries like Dàguó in order to cripple our economy. You must refuse to ratify this treaty!”

Of course, global warming= fake news

“You know what you should do?” says your nephew, Gabriel Wall, cramming a slice of peacock-stuffed-ostrich into his mouth. “You should have a big annual games, just like the Ancient Maxtopians did, where gladiators fight to the death with spears. Except this time, the fatties get thrown into the arena. The winners would receive hundreds of thousands of kronor,” he jumps in his seat excitedly, “A- And t-the losers,” a little peacock flies out of his mouth, “would perish like the wimps they are. I bet you anything people will flock to Praha to see jumbo mortal combat!”

why are all interesting events in my former main nation? this is truly a thing i would expect here but not there :p

Kaliningrad is true German clay. Peng you should be able to retake it with a shovel. The Russians probably forgot it exists.

I personally agree Moldegaard. America in my opinion does not do enough for its citizens.
