Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Actually, Jas Unf and I already RP'd an RP like this with strangers, and it worked. Of course, we only made it to the 1930s, but it's been done before. Also, I won't be the only OP in this; there will be a few others. Also, I said I wouldn't control numbers. I'd just make sure the numbers are reasonable

Statement of the MoI regarding resident incident
As MoI I am responsible for the citizenship application and the process of nation registration in our region. And as such I hold the stance that not every residing nation in our region should be automatically given resident status. Therefore I edited the citizenship application at the beginning of my term because it was lacking the option to state wheather to apply for citizenship or residency. I am also against this automatism of residency because a nation that joined, stayed for a few hours and leaves again has rights for the hours they stayed although they are merely using this region as transit area. This can lead to a very precarious situation.
Furthermore there is actually no law defining residency or citizenship, or to say the least I was unable to find such a law in our archives or the constitution. And I am a supportet of statutory law and not case law. Therefore I do firmly believe that there was no violation of a law because there isn't a law which could have been violated. I also think that an act may only be punished if criminal liability had been established by law before the act was committed.
I also would like to inform you that I just some minutes ago edited the citizenship application stating that the policy of automatic resident status has been rescinded.
Everyone who has constructive criticism regarding my opinion and my current policy feel free to contact me. Hateful, offensive, insulting or humiliating comments regarding my stance will not be accepted by me.
Thanks for your time.

I'd be down, however I only fear that such a massive RP would fall to innactivity REAL quick
Magnatronia
I'm afraid of that too. The only thing we can do is advertise the living hell out of this RP if we decide to do it. Regional TGs, daily RMB post on it, etc. And again, GR and AEGIS Alliance would be able to join this, so that's a plus. I've got two claims from people in both regions, but one was invalid, and I asked him if he wanted another (this was [nation=short]The Interstellar Federation[/nation]). I hope [nation=short]Alruniea[/nation] and other members of the region claim a spot
Jaslandia, Magnatronia
If you just changed the policy does that mean everyone's residency has been revoked? Or does it just a apply from this point onwards?
Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
You'll probably have to simply telegram him and apply.
I'd give it a day for the processes to settle first.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
I will send out a regional telegram to tell people about this change. So from that moment I sent the TG on there will be a transition period.
So I am a resident because I arrived before the policy chnage?
I can't answer this question at the moment. I will inform about it in the TG I'll send. But you definetly would be on the save side if you fill out the application on the WFE.
Why not? Arent you the minister?
And Im sorry I don't think there is a "safe side"" here. I think there is a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is to extend residency to everyone who was here before the policy change.
Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, I am the minister but even a minister can't answer every question at every moment. I need to consult some people about the implementation of that policy and they way we handle it. I may have made the decision but a lot more people are part of the process. Changes and reforms can't be done by a single person.
Respectfully, that makes this sound like less than a democracy.
Feel free to file a complaint. :)
Hey, if it's starting in WWI, d'you suppose we'd eventually find ourselves guided towards WWII, 'cause I have a whole invasion plan. And it may, just slightly, be influence by the, the mongols https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofFCb2modMk

To the supreme court, the regular courts, the president who is my superior or the MOJ who is chief constable.
Or you could make a motion in the house of delegates for a vote of no confidence. But this step is only applicable if you are a citizen.
I like how I was originally going to post on Lat's virus RP, before realizing that I had a vague interest in writing about my nations Diet and Cuisine; now, an hour and a half later, I have a 6 paragraph Faq section dedicated to explaining the culturally vast diet of my people, which then (and now) is driving me to right more into my history faq, Overview portion on Ædenism, and Overview portion on language, because of the new cultural information, ALL OF WHICH REVOLVES AROUND FOOD.
As an Italian, I am now proud :P
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Magnatronia
Still doesn't excuse such behavior. You can easily make your points without devolving to childish insults and demands to leave.
It's not being 'PC'; it's recognizing that there are rules, and the rules prohibit such blatant insults. If you want to "call them out on it," I provide leeway for snark and less-rude criticism.
Jaslandia, Yukona
[Nation]The Royal Republic of Kumania[/nation] It is 100% unacceptable to use "autistic" as an insult. In my mind you just became more of a jerk and troll then the person you were addessing.
Magnatronia
I understand your sentiment, but online game or not, we still have laws, and we have them for a reason. This incident to me demonstrated a legal grey area in our laws, and rather than just shrugging it off and saying "eh, it's just a game," we should seek to fill this grey area, either through a court decision, or through new legislation.

This is the Internet. If you want a safe space, go somewhere else like Tumblr idk. If someone is gunna act super autistic and get all riled up over not being accepted in a community on a f**kin browser game because they were a prick earlier on, Ima call them out on it. I'm not using "autistic" as an insult. Like literally the person in question was acting like someone who has autism. No need to rustle your jimmies dudes.
Magnatronia
Guys, could we drop it for a few hours?
Eh, the person he was addressing spent a good few hours insulting everyone in the Region before.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Aghrabia
Let's all calm down, now. Kumania, while RCP isn't the "PC" police, he is tasked with maintaining general order as to disuade things from getting overly hostile. I think he was attempting to have this turn into an all out RMB war.
Now, Fundingsland, as you probably have read, RCP has this covered, calling out Kumania isn't necessary, however it does prove my point. it's better to remain calm and logical that to resort to insulting terms such as "Autistic", especially as said term refers to an actual, and most times debilitating, genetic disease. It's like making fun of someone for being black or white, it's not as if they can change it. RCP was attempting to keep actions such as your's (fundings) from occuring that the situation escalating further.
So, I'm telling both of you, alongside everyone else on the RMB, end the discussion. Now.

*****RCP was attempting to keep actions such as fundings from occurring; so as to keep the situation from escalating further.
Jaslandia, Republic City Police
No. He was not acting like he had autism. He was a jerk, yes, but not autistic. You are just showing how crass you are. My brother has autism and he has more class and brains and guts than you seem to have.
That makes him a jerk or a dick or a bully or a troll. Not autistic. It's a disease. It's not okay to use it as an insult.
*[B]she[/B] is tasked with. And thank you, Andromitus.
I already stated that using 'autist' or 'autistic' to insult someone is not acceptable, and if Kumania continues to do so, I will take care of it. Your behavior Fundingsland, while not quite crossing the line into unacceptable behavior, is still making the situation worse by escalating it. I recommend you back off and avoid riling up anyone.
