Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
I love human sacrifices. (=^・^=)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, South Hyder
The first thing you got wrong is that we have news channels. It's not news in Magnatronia. It's *entertainment*.
Jaslandia
Does anyone wanna send their students to the "Tropical Ivies" to study aquaculture and volcanoes, The Crown might be interested in some sort of exchange program with another nation.
Russkov Soviet
Question. How far are you willing to go with this carpet bombing shenanigan?
Jaslandia, Kohalo
Wow, that guy was a bit of an arse.
Friedensreich, Penguania And Antarctica
More to come. CONCORD
I can send some students; I'm sure they'll fit in lovely with the, less desirable crowds in the eyes of the crown
Kohalo
CONCORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oelesa
The Crown denies all allegations regarding any bombings.
Here is the official response that can also be found in the roleplay region...
[spoiler=Crown's Response to Allegations]International Community,
There are currently allegations that under my direct orders, hundreds of natives on the island of Lanai have been killed; this information was shared with the international community through one of our artillery technicians who is sadly now deceased. I would just like to clarify, nothing of the sort occurred in South Hyder, that information is blatantly incorrect.
To be candid, I am shocked to see how responsive the international community is to one veterans PTSD induced social media posts, with specific nations even sanctioning our people due to said posts.
The Kingdom of South Hyder has internationally acclaimed universities in which the world trusts its students, internationally acclaimed research facilities in which the world trusts its scientists, internationally acclaimed flora and fauna in which the world trusts its tourists, and an internationally acclaimed Navy, which is responsible for the policing of a large portion of the Pacific Ocean.
Almost every nation on the globe is involved with our regime in one of the aforementioned ways and I am sure that you are all far too clever to cut those ties because of one mentally unstable mans rantings.
I hope you all have a pleasant Royal Festival Day, enjoy watching the stream, and stop worrying yourself about such nonsense.

Cool we can visit the no doubt well documented tribes when?
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Group composing of me, Yuk, Kal, Bax, Andy, Tse, and some others.
Just read your post [nation=short]South_Hyder[/nation] ... Barbarians ...
Jaslandia
CONCORD!!!! is an alliance that replaced our old one called the ITF.
Hmmm..... I could, but uh...there is a *slight* hitch.
Oelesa
Well, there's a brief history of the tribes in the "Islands of South Hyder" Factbook Entry, but a bulk of the documentation will be released by the government of South Hyder at the discretion of The Crown.
If you, for some reason, would like to visit the barbarian-esque tribe, apply for a visa to South Hyder like everyone else...
Just as two days ago I learned that I automatically am right if I end a statement with the word "fact", today I learned that if I call someone a dead*ss in three consecutive posts then I am winning an argument.
Jaslandia, Friedensreich, Penguania And Antarctica
I underestimated your totalitarianism, your on my dude, death to the crown
Thats a fact
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Down, boy!
Jaslandia, Oelesa
If you wanna kill the Crown, you'll have to kill the millions of Hyderians ready to die for it, I think we saw a sample of those people and the true extent of their loyalty today at the festival...
And I saw the annoyance of the "Totes not Second Hand Citizens"
Oi, just launch a bunch o' missiles at his capitol. It is shorter that way
Andromitus
Please I've toppled Kings before; the natives hate him and Valstar Island has growing anger at the King (although I don't know that yet, but I have sent those anonymous pings), and while he's proved his competence at acting on foreign contact with his islands, he's also proved that he doesn't have total control over the internet and while he can see everything on top, there are services that no government can know.
And something tells me that those thousands that support the king are but a small minority on his islands, people tend to move away from public slaughter..
My basic point is that no government is impenetrable, especially not a small cluster of islands in the center of the pacific, in between to of the largest anti-it powers on this planet...
Who are these powers, exactly?
I'm probably not going to do anything. It's less fun to be the ebul socialist country when everybody is in on it
Andromitus
Nuremgard, I just got your Lese Majeste issue! Great job with that! I ended up going with the option to allow people to criticize the monarchy (although the part about a royal family and crown prince didn't really apply, since the Percytonian monarchy isn't hereditary).
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Solla Ultima
We allow criticism of the monarchy here in Nuremgard too although I think commentators mocking the Crown Prince's large nose is a bit cruel considering he is just a child. :P There will be laws prohibiting the criticism of the monarchy in Caledonia, however, as the royal government is politically restrictive anyway.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Kohalo is requesting to send a diplomatic team to negotiate peace and an ambassador to talk about relations with South Hyder
Oelesa
You can try, but considering South Hyder is denying there are any problems at all, I don't think you'll get very far in negotiating 'peace'. Just my opinion.

Alright I am back and ya know, I have been gone to do some contemplation about me personally and I thought about how I have been portraying the PLR and what not and I would possibly like to retcon (mean take back everything that the PLR has done and stood for since coming to this region) and I think that the PLR will be a democracy. I have a model and what not set up for it and I think that is best for it. If I cannot find a good RP and what not or start up some good RPs with people here in this region then I may have to leave to find a good Rp region that I can implement this democracy PLR. I have never done this before with the PLR but I am going to give it a try

Are you going to be accepting the initial Lore of Kongo? I.e. the Proxy war between myself and Magnatronia, that ended up with me more or less aiding in the rebuilding of that regions government?
Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic, Oelesa
oh for sure without a doubt. Give the years that the war happened and I will try to implement it into the Kongo's history. What I am going to do is use the actual Kongo's history up until a certain point and then I will go into more of the alternate history and what not, which should then go into that war between you and Magna

My military has been updated, New numbers and such. I lowered my military pop from 1.5 million to 1 million and now 864 thousand. Not only cause my numbers were too large, but also because my nation has been decreasing numbers for a while now.
The Lynx is the newest plane to be introduced to the Luftwaffe, and a renovation of the Lufwaffe and rest of the military is underway as I said previously in an IC post.
