Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Uh, I think he should care about what the word means if he's going to throw it around. Just sayin.
We should create a CFN World navy, patrolling the world's waters, stopping piracy/naval crime, and rescuing people.
Nah, I'd rather we stick to our own navies to do that. Don't want the guv'ment intruding on my waters.
Jaslandia, Yukona
I've actually been working on a project called the Pacific Patrol where I am building a large fleet of ships roughly modeled after the Independence Class that can act as patrol ships, search and rescue ships, and in dire situations, attack ships.
Shoot me a telegram or message on Discord if you want to work on this project together.

[I]He says, as he is the main figure of the government[/I]. But fair enough, my destroyers and cruisers love using pirates and drug traffickers as target practice.
Jaslandia, Baxten
Thanks my dude :D Wish I was classified as Anarchy but I like my Socialism :P
CoFN world Navy? You mean in RP or in Nationstates? Because neither make any lick of sense
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Moldegaard
No, let's all go find an island, make it a nation, and do it that way. Yes on NS bro
There's no standardization and you're relying on the idea that a nation might not just want for said piracy to happen so as to harm it's opponent...something that was and probably is still a large possibility.
As it stands, a nation's best bet is to either have escorts or be in an Alliance like Concord where it's a large naval power. Furthermore, most ships would already respond to distress calls.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Hah, really? I'm hoping to get rid of my anarchic situation soon. Not sure what I want to be... Is there a list of classifications?

Um...what about legal drug trade? We're kinda into that.

Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
wow for an intellectual you fvcked upYou're*. And are you sure bout' that? We have some yuuuuuge military powers here.
DAMNITGAAH ARE YOU KIDDING ME I MESSED UP THE "YOU'RE"
But yea I'm pretty sure that the CoFN doesn't have a military and denounces having one

Jaslandia, Andromitus, The United Providences Of Perland
I consider myself central-left! Socially, that is. I'm all about private industry when it comes to economics.
The United Providences Of Perland
I wouldn't say we denounce it. But yes, we haven't had a military in a long time; since the original CFN I believe.
lol yes. The story I'm making is basically that Baxten did follow it's usual German path until 1861, when some ideology took over the mainland. So we moved to our Cascadian colony, and other colonies of Baxten gained independence (if they hadn't already). There, we thrived in agriculture and especially once oil was discovered. However, in 1949, the Baxtonian monarchy abdicated after lots of internal and external pressure, allowing a government similar to Switzerland (but with more capitalism) to take power.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Hey, we could always make a confederation if you come back to N. America

And I will fight to keep it that way! CoFN pacifism all year round!
Jaslandia, Kalaron, The United Providences Of Perland
I plan to make pacts with Pacific nations (most of which are in Concord, but still). We're gonna form something similar to the TTP, even though Baxten has free trade for everyone.

If the world was united into one country, what would be the best ideology or political classification for it?
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, South Hyder
Difficult but interesting quedtion. Im a leftist so Id want social democracy/socialism.

Anarchy, that way groups of people could create their own governments as they please without a singular large overbearing state moderating their every move.

On a related note. There's a lot I don't understand in this world. Like a LOT. One of those things is: how did communism spread? How does a economic/social system 'spread'?

Okay, so the concept of spreading ideas goes back as far as human communicaton, so I'm gonna focus on something more digestible.
The spread of communism and socialism in general begins with the industrial revolution as farmworkers moved into the cities to become factoryworkers. The capitalist system at this time was completely unfettered and as such the workers would often work abnormally long hours for very little pay in dangerous enviroments. In additon, child labour was quite common, especially for jobs that requried a person of small size, such as crawling through coal shafts. In short, an 19th century english factory was as bad as (if not worse) than sweatshops in 3rd world countries. This, in additon to the fact that only a small, relatively wealthy elite could vote made a lot of people very, very unhappy.
This began the modern socialist movement, as the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels adressed the increased alienation of the worker from his product. To put it simply: When you worked on a farm, you could see the effects of your work almost evety day, as the harvest brought food to sell or to feed the family. When working in a factory, you stood in the same place doing the same motions for up to 18 hours a day as you saw the product dissapear down the assembly line. Unions played a huge part in the spreading of socialism, as strikes and rallies could be organized much more effectively once the workers had... Well, formed an organization. These did wonders in spreading socialism as this spread exponentially through flyers, word of mouth and political parties.
I really could go on for several hours, but I feel like that is enough to put on the RMB.
Nuremgard, Moldegaard
Nicely written. But why/why did the USSR grow? And what made it so violent?

What a coincidence. After what me, Russkov, and James talked about yesterday with the EDM music festival and 'Molly', here's the issue I got today:
"A group of surprisingly hip and mellow businessmen have meandered over to your office, with paperwork to propose Green caterpillarfest, a celebration of music, dance and good times that will incidentally make them a truckload of money. They see your nation not only as the new stomping grounds for this annual music festival, but also as a place that could be seen as being friendly to festival culture in general, welcoming the dread-locked (and sometimes nude) bear-dancing nomads, with their mind-altering substances, groovy music and economy-stimulating disposable incomes."
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
I always choose to let them have it freely. What did you choose?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
I went with the third option: Allow the music festival, but keep a police presence and an anti-drug campaign going. The people of Sodor aren't really a big fan of these loud and obnoxious festivals; they're a more quiet and reserved people.
By the way, I don't think we've met before. I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you like it here!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine, Moldegaard
Okay, so the history of the soviet union starts with the bolshevik revolution. For the sake of not filling up the RMB with another wall of text I'll (unfortunately) have to skip the causes of it as well as the Lenin years (blessed boi) and skip to the Stalin years. So until this point, the USSR had been recovering from both a civil war with foreign intervetion as well as a costly campaign to "reconquer" Belarus and Ukraine, which as that point where considered vital parts of Russia (at least as I understand it). So after "retaking" large parts of it's predecessor the Russian Empire (save for Poland and the baltics mostly), Stalin decided to curtail the expansionist policies, focusing a campaign to industrialize the country, which actually benefited from the Great Depression unlike the capitalist states surrounding it. To put it in context, they had achieved around 50 years worth of western industrialization in 10 (as far as I can recall, I may be wrong here. In any case, it was a tremendous industrial feat).
Now we arrive at the second world war. Despite this rapid industrialization, the easter front became easily the deadliest front in the entire war, with many dying from the cold of Russian winter alone. Once the battle shifted in favour of the Soviets, they began push deeply into Axis territory, making former Axis allies into client Republics (save for Albania, the only nation to self-liberate in the war). This was to prevent the Allies (Whose countries contained an awful lot of Axis sympathizers) from easily reaching the USSR by building a set of buffer states between them. The Allies, in particular Winston Churchill DID have a plan for attacking the Soviet Union once the both forces met (called "operation unthinkable"). As for the cold war, the logic was much the same, with the USSR supporting anti-colonialist independence movements to counter the US's global influence (the US, by the way supported a whole lot of Fascist, authoritarian and conservative groups in the same nations).
Again, this is about what I feel comfortable putting on the RMB size-wise.

Also, I gotta give your flag some praise. I never though one would be able to pull off a castle on a flag well.

Greetings, I'm the leader of the old, gloomy nation Moldegaard. I read your factbooks, it's honestly great how serious you turned that show into! I do like it here- I moved today from a very boring, quiet region. Best decision I made all day.

My head is spinning but I think I have a tighter grip on it now, thank you!
And thanks again. I think it suits my nation quite well.

What's up, peeps? Just finished binge watching Designated Survivor. Sooo good. Can't wait for the next season.
Jaslandia
I can relate. I've been binge watching Vikings.
I've been watching it so much the past week or so that I ghosted my bf because the season finale was starting to play. I haven't opened the snap yet and it's been a whole day, so he's either really worried or ticked.

I sent him a picture of the protagonist and said I loved his blue eyes (I dunno if you remember when I showed a picture of him here, but he's got very light blue eyes that pierce me soul), and he got all flustered 😂
But really though, Scandinavian men > him.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Moldegaard
Sexy Scandinavians, of course, but also season premieres and finales. There are other fish in the sea, but a series only has so many seasons.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I love the Scandi/Aryan look.
Which makes the seasons and finales more precious.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm glad to hear that! The people at the Bureau of Historical Information put a lot of work and effort into Percyton's Factbooks and dispatches, and I'm proud of everything they've produced!

I'e been watching that show too, and it's really good. The plot is well-paced and interesting, and Kiefer Sutherland does a great job playing the President! I'm pretty excited for season 2.
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
He has a great team supporting him. My fave characters are the two FBI agents and the Speaker.
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri
Yeah, his staff are really interesting (the current Chief of Staff, the former Chief of Staff whose now the Speaker's Chief of Staff, the speechwriter played by Kal Penn, etc.), as are the other politicians (the Speaker, the obstructionist Senator Bowman, the Secretary of State, etc.). The President still carries the show (IMO), but the others are no slackers either.

I have twice tried to get into that Netflix series The Crown. I can't do it because it's so boring. Claire Foy has the cut-glass, plum-in-mouth voice down to a t and Matt Smith portrays Philip accurately as the racist, emasculated chauvinist. I disliked the clearly uncritical portrayal of Churchill and how Philip was just oh so quirky and funny despite being a dick.
Most expensive TV show ever produced apparently. The end product has not justified the expense in my view.
Lavan Tiri
Just watch Stranger Things.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Magnatronia
Really? I loved The Crown. Can't wait till the second season.
Eh. Not for me. I usually like stuff about the royals and royalty in general but I was very underwhelmed by it.
Hopefully the decision I went with (allowing the festival but keeping a police presence and an anti-drug campaign at the festival) will reduce the drug smuggling problem you were talking about, but we'll have to wait and see.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
No need for a police presence to stop drug smuggling when drugs are legal like in Nuremgard. :P
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine, Moldegaard
We shall see. The E.Q.N. Valiant has just left port. Investigators should be there in a week.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
I've had a few people suggest that, but I don't think the Percytonian people would approve. They're willing to go along with marijuana legalization, but legalizing anything harder than that might be "a bridge too far" for the people, as Duck would say (although I'm not sure why; Sodor has built lots of bridges and viaducts over the years, and even a big suspension bridge, so it can't be that hard to build a bridge to legalizing stuff other than marijuana).
Great! We look forward to working with them!
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
Nuremgard is very liberal so it legalised all drugs. If people want to take them then the government sees it simply as: their body, their choice.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
The people of Percyton are like that too, to an extent. However, a lot of Percytonians are worried about people on harder drugs being 'impaired' in public: Stumbling around the streets, touching people without asking for permission, being demanding and aggressive at restaurants, and just generally bothering everyone around them. They just don't want to deal with that.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine

I personally just love the blue eyes and light complexion. Plus, I dunno what it is, but I really like sharp jaw lines and triangular faces.
What's funny is that all of that is the exact opposite of what I look like. I've got a round face, virtually no neck (I'm built like a Krogan 😂), a darker complexion, and deep brown eyes.
