Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Very cool! If it's alright with you, a Percytonian delegation would love to come! We'd of course work with you to figure out how to transport our engines and vehicles.
Interesting. Percyton has always been somewhat stuck in the past, as shown by our locomotive fleet, but it could still be interesting to think about what Percyton would look like in the near future.

Hello eveyone.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Confederal States
yes, your nation is awesome
But really tho. They got slapped to crap too :p
Still no candidates for Speaker, ladies and gents. Worried that Parliament will essentially be placed on hold if we go into the election without a candidate for Speaker.

great i love this game
I knew within the first week of using NationStates that this'd be a site for the coming years. I don't see myself not visiting anymore within two years.
Axeldonia
Just don't forget that Kalaron helped :p
If no one else runs, I'll probably throw my hat into the ring. Can hardly have a government without a speaker.
Jaslandia
I would like to run for an office but I don't have a lot of time due to work. If I weren't short of time I would run. I'm sorry that I disappoint you. :(

It's quite fascinating how much I understand what you are saying despite the fact that I don't know any Dutch. :)

You'd be filling one vacancy by creating another. Besides, [nation=short]The Vidnoye[/nation] has announced his intent to run. Just waiting to hear back from Sul regarding the citizenship roster to ensure that Vid is indeed a recognized citizen before updating the elections factbook.
You don't disappoint me at all, Peng! I know people are busy, and I'd prefer people recognize that and choose not to run rather than run and have no time to fulfill their duties.

Hello Hello
lol i didn't know that.
Alright new flag and I feel that it represents Unitary Republicanism the most
Russkov Soviet, Confederal States
I like it, and yet...it fills me with anger.
Axeldonia
that is unfortunate
I found a much better one
Russkov Soviet
Okay, sure.
I like that one as well. I think the last one was a bit to close to the Nazi flag.
....please dont start that because National Bolsheviks use the same design for their flags.
Russkov Soviet
Heyo! Welcome to the CoFN
Ahh! My F.S senses are tingling
Axeldonia, Kalaron
Just because NatBols use the same style doesn't mean it's not still close to the Nazi flag. Much like how national Bolshevism is quite close to Nazism anyway.
Axeldonia, Kalaron, Yukona, Cesorion, Confederal States
I never said National Bolshevism is not quite close to it because they have taken principles especially the militarization aspects of Nazism and combined it with Communism in order to achieve their goals. I am using such a flag for my personal use and if it causes emotional triggering for some people then that is unfortunate but also not really my problem.
The Vidnoye, Magnatronia, Confederal States
F.S? elaborate
You're all focusing on the wrong thing.
What you should be discussing is how when you replace the bottom half of a sickle with a gear, the top half ceases to be a sickle at all and is instead transformed into a raptor claw.
Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic, Axeldonia, Andromitus, Yukona, Cesorion
dude I don't care, I'm just letting you know because the mods don't like nazi flags and sometimes that also includes nazi-inspired stuff. You don't need to be a dick, tbh.
Axeldonia, Yukona, Confederal States
Good one indeed!!!!
And there is no need for you to be name calling. I have been quite civil. Now if you want me to be a dick then I can surely be one but I stated a simple opinion. I rather you not start an argument. It has been quite peaceful so please do not disturb that. Thank you :)

tbh I yelled it at him first
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
And how exactly am I a False Socialist? Please elaborate and be as descriptive as possible.
Which I never got because my original idea of Ædenism never had any socialist aspects...so like, you were telling false socialist to a Cappie bastahd
I'm not doing this PLR, I made a joke and anyone whose read your description of your sick, totalitarian, proxy-capitalist ideology will understand it en full.
Plus I'm on my phone and fck that lol
Axeldonia, Kalaron
socialism just hasn't been the same since Unfallion socialism ascended to RP heaven
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Oh my god true.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I was blinded by Baxtonian hate at the time, so what exactly was your style of socialism?
Jaslandia
lol sick and totalitarian. Although that is a tad dark, it seems that such a description of my ideology is based off of your disdain for me
your run of the mill Marxism-Leninism with no communist end goal and a willingness to work with capitalist powers in order to secure the nation's socialism first. Essentially, it's secure socialism within your borders, exploit the capitalists until the attainment of self-sufficiency and then export the revolution.

You have literally described yourself to me as "Samsons gonna make a real cult of personality around him, increase his own power and authority and I think I'll start basing the PLR and my Radical Version more off of the DPRK"
Axeldonia, Kalaron
Is that sick? No
Is he totalitarian? Yes
Proxy-Capitalist? Pseudo would be a rather better term than proxy
And quite frankly, cant get more radical than DPRK and if you have actually read Radical Unitary Republicanism, you would see for yourself that it is nowhere near the DPRK.

Handland takes a deep breath today, even if only for a moment.
Welp, it appears Vid cannot run for office as he does not currently have a recognized WA nation. So, unless he rectifies this before end of day, we will be going into the election without any candidates for Speaker.
So, again, calling for candidates for the office of Speaker of Parliament.
