Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
I like my way better
I dont like either the fact how some people go around and promote names rather than policies. I believe though that ppl should have the freedom to maintain their opinion... Theirs you know...
But I would ask everyone to have the decency and respect both the candidates and the ppl who might be voting for their first time here.
Continental Commonwealths, Mdogao
I should probably get out my Christmas flag too, then. Santa Claus is coming to town!
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Peng's Chrismas Flag is up now too.
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
I hope this doesn't indict my earlier post. I apologize if I disrespected anyone.
Latrovia
needs more penguin
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
It's okay dont worry. We are all a community here. We have to turn our sleeves up and work together now. :)
I am saying this now that I am listening at Man of Steel's soundtrack - Flight by Hans Zimmer. :P
Is it better now ? :)
Thanks, Jas! I appreciate your support!
So is mine.

Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Still a nice flag, buddy. :)
Vista Major
Aw shucks, thank you.
Penguania And Antarctica
sorry about your flag, Kal.
Is the cancer terminal?
Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Yup
Penguania And Antarctica
Terribly so.
The doctor only gives it untill December 26 to live.
It's very sad, really.
Penguania And Antarctica
Tse jumped on the Christmas flag bandwagon too. :D
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
Great. :)

I'm gonna' be different and not Christmas-ise my flag.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Same, mainly because I can't be bothered to edit it.
Nuremgard
That's okay. I'll provide you with enough Christmasness and jollity.

Whats your favorite X-Mas movie of all times?

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Christmas with the Kranks is definitely one of my favourites.
Latrovia
You got taste! ;)
Turina
Aha, I know it's not a 'classic' but to me it is because I've watched it every Christmas.

Hey y'all. It's that time again. You know. That time when we vote for region's leaders. It makes me think when I sit here on this porch, in my rocking chair, sipping hot chocolate and pretending to smoke a candy cane. It makes me think what kind of leader do I want for this region? Do I want a charismatic leader who can rally the people? Do I want a leader that cares about us as individuals? Perhaps I want a leader that has experience in running our fine region. Well, shucks, how about all of the above? There is only one man I can think of that exhibits all of these traits, and that's [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation].
Let's look at the facts, this region has run remarkably well since he came into office. He has the experience to lead, the connections with other regions, and most importantly, he cares. I've never met any leader from our regions that would telegram us individually about his campaign and what he wants to do for us! That's the equivalent of going door to door. Now look, I understand that some people want a fresh face in office, but can you really put a price on experience? No you can't. [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation]'s weathered face shows his determination to this region. I don't know about you, but there is no leader I'd rather have than [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation]. So get out there and vote folks! Whoever you vote for, just keep in mind, what kind of regional leader do you want to see? A rugrat or a tested soul? Thanks for listening folks to Ol' Al.

I hate the fact that every year I have to listen to the same old classic song "All I want for xmas is You". That song gets to my nerves now.
Turina
*intercepts packages, places a Ertl Percy toy under each penguin's arms, then sends them on their way*
*sends the Tsar of Nuremgard a basket full of cookies, candy, miniature elves, and other Christmas goodies*
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I know right?!
My Christmas go to songs are: So this is Christmas, White Christmas, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), and Baby it's Cold Outside.
Latrovia, Aldaur, Continental Commonwealths
I had to sing baby it's cold outside for choir in my senior year. Good song! We sang it in the capitol building, which had great acoustics!
Turina, Yukona
The Dean Martin version of that is f*****g ace, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omUO10nxETU
Aldaur
*sends a box of Norsk vodka and truffles plus Christmas crackers with rubles inside them*
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Dean Martin is great in general!
Yukona
A bit of an oldie, but a nostalgic classic for me: Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town by Rankin/Bass. Frosty the Snowman is also a good one.
Mine is Game of Thrones because you know....Winter is Coming lol
Jaslandia
The Snoopy Christmas Bells song is where it's at!
But Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is defs one of my favourites.
Aldaur, Turina
I keep being pleasantly surprised when I return from a busy couple of days and the region is still intact and running.

I would say you don't have enough faith in us, but at this point, I can't blame you with all the exoduses and collapses we've gone through.
Killdash, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks, Nurem! How thoughtful! Not sure what I'll do with the vodka, but maybe Sir Topham Hatt will be interested.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Damn, it does feel good to be back on though. God, this season is a killer for time.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
So I am the new face around here challenging the all mighty Gods and suggesting changes and more democracy to our citizens.
During my time here I have been targeted and being called many things. One of those not so constructive critizisms suggested that I would destroy the region, the others suggested that I have no leading experience and some of the suggest that I dont listen.
I am sorry to ruin it for some people but they are wrong. I respect the fact that you fight and promote your friend but you ladies and gentleman forget one thing. We are all fighting to make our region a better place. Your so superior support does one thing. Prevent us from doing any progress at all, by preventing our democracy and influencing on other people's votes.
I would humbly request all of you to allow people to vote accordingly to their own beliefs and not yours. Allow the people to vote for what they wanna see happening around here. And stop protecting the same establishment you represent. The people's votes should be un-influenced by external forces.
In other words keep your thoughts to yourselves and let the people do the rest. My campaign hasn't done THIS KIND of advertisement to myself.
Thank you all for your time and your support.

I'm gonna make my Christmas flag. My lion will get a Santa hat and my tricolor will be red, white, and green. It'll be great
Jaslandia, Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland
We've all seen what outsider politics get us folks. Don't make the same mistake as we did in real life.
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, Turina, The United Providences Of Perland
But Lat's been in our government since the beginning.

A vote for Peng is a vote for cuteness. :P
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Groundbreaking.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Don't suppose anyone here is interested in medieval RP?
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Hmm. I might be interested.
Aldaur
Sure, why not ?
As our nations or as individual characters? Either would be cool, though I imagine it'd be pretty limited with nations.
I wonder what the world would be like now if guns were never invented. Just imagine someone in a humvee with a sword sticking out lol
Penguania And Antarctica
There's forty registered citizens, and twenty-seven votes j have been cast.
I was thinking nation since I have [nation=short]veritious[/nation] that I've outfitted for full on medieval (with slight fantasy elements) RP but I've yet to be able to find a place to truly utilise it. Medieval tech is the most difficult era to find an audience for on NS, it seems.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I would be interested if I could be a Saracen or Hashashin type character
Penguania And Antarctica
Maybe if we weren't our own nations but instead played as small kingdoms in a fantasy world (by fantasy I mean fictional, not magical).
Penguania And Antarctica
That's what I was intending. I just really want to put the Veritian lore into practice. Veritious is essentially a citystate based around the ancient fortress of Amnest which is the large city which is known for its unusual metal walls. Everything outside of Amnest is basically little peasant holdings and small time keeps.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I'd be fine with that
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
If we do that, can I be a Greek/Roman type city state with medieval tech. We'd be kind like the Byzantines, but in city-state form.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I'd like to be a City-State like Florence. Mainly agrarian, but also ruled by families of bankers.
Baxten, Penguania And Antarctica
Perhaps us city-states can form an alliance or maybe even a federation of city states. I was thinking maybe a trade-leauge
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
A confederacy would make more sense but yea! Trade would be really important to maintain for these finance oriented city states.
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Beat me to it.
CONFEDERACIES FOR THE WIN!
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm watching Medici: Masters of Florence. Great show!
Au Minbo, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
That sounds good! I wish it was on Netflix. I'm somewhere between too guilty and too inept to download shows/music.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
It is on Netflix lol It's a netflix original and on streaming! :p
Penguania And Antarctica
I was going to give you a speel about how I'm a poor, deprived Canadian who doesn't get the same Netflix selection, but I turned on Netflix and it was the first suggested show. Le embarrassed. Watching it right after this Modern Family episode.
Au Minbo, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Will you join our confederacy of city states.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Medieval city states idea is officially rolling
Do we want to do this in a forum RP format or in a region with puppets? Personally I lean towards region due to factbooks being good for expanding lore, but either is good.
Penguania And Antarctica
I was kinda hoping others would make kingdoms and duchies. City state could be something you are. It's still be a viable option because you could hire mercenaries and make a ton of money.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
I like the region idea.
Penguania And Antarctica
I would prefer Forum because you can do edits and such if you make mistakes. That and you can pin images because there's more BBCode on there.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
It's also more organized and we arnt bound to restrictive names.
Penguania And Antarctica
Kingdoms and duchies are ok too, but no empires.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Should you ever learn that Shawn Mendes is getting married, that's me. I'm going to marry Shawn Mendes.
Penguania And Antarctica, Turina
Ok, cool
Aldaur
Also, do you have a plot/scenario that start some it off. Kinda like how they have the bookmarks in Ck2
Aldaur
I do not, but since this is a fictional world I can develop some universal lore tomorrow or Wednesday.
Would you mind generating a fictional map? There are a bunch of resources for doing that online, I think you can find a few by looking on the NS forums.
Aldaur
That seems reasonable. Perhaps we can have one overarching OP-controlled empire that nominally oversees us all, but rarely does much in reality. Basically our RP's equivalent of the Holy Roman Empire.
I'd personally like to let things develop naturally and see if any Empires emergence through unions or conquest, but I'll see what I come up with when I brainstorm a lore for it.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Yea, I can find a few.
That'd be a good idea.
When you "piss off the Empire" by breaking the rules you could get demolished by this Empire and taken off the map.
Jaslandia
We could use the original Patheos map from a while ago. I'd add more details to it if we do, but it is an idea
What did that look like?
I'd like to get a visual of the map so I can connect the lore to the geography if there's anything that stands out.
Haha, back off hun.
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
I spent a weekend up in Quebec City and used your Netflix and I have to say I was jealous of some of your selection choices :)
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Thanks, Peng! With special coal, and Victor giving us all a new coat of paint for the winter, I think this is going to be a wonderful Christmas!
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
http://m.imgur.com/blc97Ne?r
Now it isn't just a possibilty, so I'd hold off making too much lore around it just yet.
Hmm, it looks too similar to GoT, I think a fresh map would probably work better
No it's not that good! I wish we had Salem because I can't find a good website to stream season 3.
Still, I do wonder if this 'special coal' is anything like that coal Henry used to use before he got a new shape. Because that coal made Henry work great when he had always been sick before, though Henry didn't need it after he got his new shape (well, except for a little while a long time ago when he started using it again, but it sorta came out of the blue, so I don't know why).
