Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
I almost have my poor's income back to what it was before NS decided to take 10,000 rubles away from them. Unfortunately, my taxes are even higher. They are now at the point it becomes useless trying to lower them.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, The Wyoming Peoples Front, Spanelsko
to be honest i start to think that CONCORD is powerless and is nothing compared to the might of my empire. (even through i will be beaten by anyone)
good luck!
Nuremgard, Percyton
Thanks! But I cant lower taxes. If I do, that will reduce my poor's income and my state-owned industry.
Percyton
thats not good.... also i just saw your tax rate..... WTF? with how bad my nation is even we are nothing compared to that number......
Nuremgard
LOL I would not even need to send my military against you. My Police Forces could topple your so called "Empire" in a matter of days. Get rekt mate.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Spanelsko
you know i know this right? my true power comes from propaganda victories.
What propaganda victories? Did you defeat the Kitten Lord?
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
Nuremgard is a Scandinavian style country with Scandinavian levels of taxation for all the public services it provides.
Jaslandia
Nya. He did no. Meow.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Spanelsko
Not yet, one day maybe..... but i did defeat CONCORD.
Our fight will continue for eternity Kitten lord.
Penguania And Antarctica
I can see that but still, this is extreme even for me.
Nuremgard
I'm an avowed leftist and even I find it extreme.
Spanelsko
now that i think about it, i am listening to this for some time already today, and the speech is actually quite close to my current situation.

I've also been having problems in Salvatore. Employment is down, taxes are up and the economy's classification keeps fluctuating.
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Building fascism is hard. (if i remember salvatore is the nation with the Falangist flag)
i have the same problem, yet my economy is doing really great.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Talkative Friedensriech
I am expecting an uprising or attempted revolution any day now.
Jaslandia
Indulge this economics nerd. What is your government doing to foster development?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
When did you send it? We don't RP here on the CoFN RMB:

Well slavery, extreme boost towards industry (which had the result that nature is dead) supporting black market, farms for humans (used by canibals) which helped us with farming industry. Support for technology and education.
dont you remember i said that i will send it in 40 minutes? i said it after you told me not to.
Andromitus
But did you post that action on any of our normal and sanctioned RP areas?
Kalaron
Oh and also most of the industry is private owned so that helped too.
You still have low employment rates though.
Talkative Friedensriech
nope, i mean why would i just write this= in 40 minutes we will send plane to see if it gets shot down by peace keeping force.
I see that as a waste of everyones time and space. if i am going to write something i want it to have at least few sentences.
yep, yet we have economy of 97 points out of 100
Nuremgard
well good night.
Percyton
I hate that. It's such a contrast.
The Salvatorian regime was forced to implement a minimum wage as workers had gone on a general strike. The other two options were: implement a living wage (which would have ruined the economy and caused mass unemployment) or implement slavery which the regime is against.
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Dude I can't act on things that aren't in Canon areas...
Night Frieds puppet :D
Sweet dreams!
Percyton, Spanelsko
Goodnight.
Percyton
Who do I talk to about puppets?
Perhaps the MoI? Or me if you want to check up on the rules thereof :D
I just wanted whoever is in charge to update the roster on the status of my puppets.
Ahh, that'd be the MoIA; Vista Major
Nuremgard, Percyton
Thanks.
Just reading about Austria's election. Some guy who stood on an anti-immigration platform is expected to form a coalition with a far-right party that was founded by a former Nazi and SS member. This scares me. What if it creates a domino effect across Europe?
I thought the Austrians were smarter than this. You'd think they'd be more careful about figures from the right given their history.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
Boost towards industry and technology as in government subsidies and grants for expansion?
And black markets are a leech on economies. I am confused why a government support the entity that is made to expressly avoid taxation and regulation.
You ought to be a bit more detailed about your economic policies, it makes things more interesting.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Any advice for your favourite fascist regime?
Thats a bit tinfoil hat-ish, dont you think? I remember when people were saying Marine Le Pen winning the French election would have spelled the demise of the European Union.... pure fear mongering!
Confederal States
Europe has been experiencing a rise in right wing populism. This victory will only embolden them.
The entire world has, but that doesnt warrant you to be scared. A right wing populist in in the Netherlands lost the election, a right wing populist lost in France, and the UK is starting to ease up on the majority the right wing pig fûckers had two years ago. Plus, not to mention the current US president, a far right wing populist, is one of the the most unpopular presidents in history, and is on the brink of being pulled out of office.
Lex Caledonia
Trump wont be ousted. The Republicans will keep him for as long as possible because he lets them steamroll through their far-right agenda.
As for Austria's new leader, his party is mostly supported by white-collar workers, business owners and civil servants. So just a bunch of middle class I'm alright, Jack w*nkers.
Axeldonia
Should the PLR (dating back all the way to the ESU days) have a complete retcon and revamp of EVERYTHING???
Confederal States
Only if you can be arsed rewriting your factbooks.
Jaslandia
Nuu, the canon, the lore...I CAN'T HANDLE ANOTHER RETCON MAN, AH CAN' HANDLE' IT!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Confederal States
I just need advice. I am stuck and dont know what to do honestly. What should I do? I hate myself for how I have managed to give the PLR a bad reputation and I just want a fresh start from EVERYTHING
Yukona
Welp you just had a state collapse, thats how I revamped my "Technocratic Empire" of Andromitus to the "Ædenist Union" of Andromitus so who knows what ya can' do mate
Peoples Liberation Republic
i guess

I read them.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
You have it switched. The Repubs in Congress are way more moderate compared to Trump. Thats why theres a lot of contention between Trump and the rest.
And Im not talking impeachment, although that has already been brought up by some Dems concerning the Russia collision investigation. The 25th amendment states that a president may be removed from office and replaced by the Vice President if the House believes he is unable to discharge the powers of the office.
Yukona
You could become a semi-democracy in the Yukon and Alaska, with an easy scapegoat for your government to blame everything on via the northwestern natives. Then North America will be all decked out and claimed, given my claim in Mexico :P
Confederal States
Careful there buddy, Visty's getting feisty with that claim
Axeldonia, Talkative Friedensriech, Carpaya, Confederal States
Good thing Im hoping to apply to join Canaan and build a close relationship with the Vistonians!
..Yukon and Alaska? There is absolutely nothing there but just Snow, Oil, Natural Gas. I couldnt do anything
And gold, silver, and plenty of fish. Plus prime land for overseeing northern pacific trade through military bases.
I was just reading in the news about how The Jacobite steam train, also called the 'Hogwarts Express' (even though the original 'Hogwarts Express', a repainted GWR 4900 Class called 'Olton Hall', isn't actually working The Jacobite route, and is at a Warner Bros.' attraction in southeastern England) rescued a family after their canoe was swept away). I'm very proud of The Jacobite, its engine, and its crew, for their helpfulness in saving a family in need. Just goes to show that steam isn't truly useless in the modern age.

There 'ya go!
Exportation of Gold, Silver, Fuels, and Cultural-Culinary Products; Prime land for a strong hand in Northern Pacific Trade and with the rising influence of CANAAN you'd be in a prime position to shape the future North American Affairs. You can also explore a new culture, society, political structure, national history, international relationships, and help shape the continental history of the North American Continent (a luxury we can't really afford here in South America as not all the plots are claimed.) And if you allow us too, we could recognize the DPLRK as Canon so all our lore and current international relationships aren't completely fµcked.
Or you can also remain in Kongo, reform your nation to your liking, fortify your history, begin an exploration of your Culture, society, and new political structure, while going down the path of healing while repairing your nations position in the world through trade and diplomacy.

1. It depends on the particular issue. On issues like immigration, yes, most Republicans in Congress are more moderate than Trump. However, on stuff like DACA and the debt ceiling, Trump may be more moderate than his fellow Republicans (or at least, more willing to work with the Democrats). And on still other issues like healthcare, it seems like Trump doesn't have a clear position at all.
2. Sorta. How I understand the 25th Amendment is that the majority of the Cabinet votes to declare the President incapacitated, and to declare the Vice President as Acting President. If Trump doesn't respond, then he's removed from office. If the President responds and sends a letter saying he's mentally fit and whatnot, then he will be reinstated as President unless Congress votes by a 2/3rds majority to keep the President out of office.

I don't know if it's what he wants but it's similar to mine and based on the Idaho flag which is what he said.

I had my own nation based on an independent American South.

Question of the day: why is justice usually depicted as a woman with a sword and scale?

Axeldonia, Andromitus, Percyton, The Wyoming Peoples Front
Apparently it's because Justice was originally a Roman goddess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Justice#Origin
As for the sword and scale, I assume scales refer to the objective judgement and measurement of the facts, while the sword represents the force of the law and whatnot.
Nuremgard, Percyton
"A recent opinion survey carried out by the Percy the Small Engine Fan Club has suggested that you are the most beloved and accomplished head of state in the history of Percyton."
Well thank you! Considering how many great leaders Percyton has had, and the fact I've only been on the throne for a little over a year, I'm really honored!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
I'd say you deserve it, Percy! Especially because of how cheery you make this region through your presence.
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Thank you, Jas! That means a lot to me!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
You're quite welcome, Percy!

yep subsidies. the reason for black market is that i just want to have a great black market, the lost tax feels so good......
The Issue
Outraged serfs are striking in the streets today, after the newly appointed Duke of Spanelsko City flippantly subinfeudated the capitals West End to a wealthy foreign investor, bestowing upon him peons, mesne lordship rights and a lesser noble title.
Kill all foreigners.
Frankly, you should be thanking me for helping Spanelsko recruit business leaders from all over the world, drawls the Duke of Spanelsko City, laughing maniacally as he thumbs through one of his many passports. Remember why we did this in the first place: to ensure an obedient and productive workforce that will help us win a place as a powerhouse in the international economy. Let us quell the commoners and teach them their proper place! Anyway, my old Maxtopian mate from boarding school is looking to get into cotton - are you terribly attached to Tiger Park?
I like this foreign guy.
Jaslandia
The Roman heritage of the character, the woman's name is Justitia, her being a lesser god of the Roman Pantheon; She is usually blindfolded to represent the objectivity of her position, with a scale measuring guilt vs. innocence and the sword representing the power of the law.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Women are seen as the fairer sex. Plus, it's probably a Roman tradition as I am sure justice was personified as a goddess in ancient Rome. Makes sense since western law is based on Roman law. Moreover, she is blind to show justice is fair and unbiased. She holds scales, representing judgment and balance, of weighing guilt and innocence, facts against fiction. The sword most likely symbolises the rule of law, and punishment for breaking it.

...compared to the sh*t ton of valuable resources and capabilities of the current Empire that I have now. I will just change the culture of the PLRK and implement social legislation. I have already decentralized the government. It is only a One Party in the sense that the President of the PLRK comes from the National Congolese Directorate. All other government positions and sectors can be occupied by other parties.
OOC: Hello! I will be pulling this up on my phone today and trying to stay in contact more. school is deadly lately.

I have completed my report on the current crisis and mentioned the plane thing, and also did the right thing of calling CONCORD leaders cowards.
Oh and also hello casubo, the last thing is that Axel and PLR are now my official rivals with Mexico and Vista Major becoming rivals also.
Wait what
Jaslandia
What is going on now?
you are my rival.
nothing really.
yes but why tho
Percyton
PLRK does not care
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Why does it seem like youre staring Wars and spouting off with no back up then?
you are more important then Andy and CONCORD, not to mention i liked how you called us genocidal maniacs so i gave you the honor of being my rival.
i am not starting wars, CONCORD decided to challenge me so i try to get them to do something.
???
Andy is literally embargoing you and CONCORD is a large military alliance
How the heck am I more important
"Honor"
Spanelsko
simple, they didnt do anything...... i cant even take their claims of war seriously right now..... and you have your own EU.
I know it isnt something to be proud of but still :p
I've tried to make one at least. Oh well, guess we're rivals now.
Also Andy has like militarily invaded you so???
Normally I'd back things like this, but you are clearly deranged.
Spanelsko
Andy didnt invade us, he stares with his ships at my coast thats all he did.....
Happy birthday Angela Lansbury!
