Anywhere is better than any town or city in England. I live in the best part of the UK, mate.
Nah fam, you don't know the half of it
Yes, the founder of NGA circa 2013-2016, then CFN.
I feel old, yet experienced and hard-headed, edging towards being ready to do it again.
Not here of course, that most likely wouldn't go over well.

There was a short span of time where I was mad at the guy over how he refused to simply agree, allowing us to stay in our heartland. However, that was a very, very long time ago and I have met and interacted with far worse people. I'd be a hypocrite not to forgive him.
I agree, though you could get involved here if you wished.

The idea seems lovely, mostly for nostalgic reasons, but at most I would only accept a non-political position, at the very most a non-executive office or role. I could see an advisory position working for myself, or something of the sort. However, I feel that it would be best to keep things cordial all around by distancing myself from interfering in the regional politics of this region in order to avoid a rehashing of problems from the past.

PLR still looking for potential allies to join in on a developing international organization between myself and two other countries

Andromitus would be willing to joint research and development if the PLRK is willing.
Do y'all still use child soldiers?
Yukona
No. We're not primitive. Barbaric in times of war? Yes. But the General has outlawed child soldiers
After 3 days of writing, I've finally made the Constitution of the Eternal Caliphate, as much work as I'll ever put in for NS :p

Have heart
Hallo
Tbh, Congress really should grant Puerto Rico statehood. It's a state in every way but name, and its citizens are not represented in Congress. Ironically enough, the citizens of Puerto Rico are still subject to any laws passed by Congress, and don't have a representative.
Plus, I love the proposed circular 51 star flag.

It's been about 118 years since we took the place over, I think it's about time we make it a state. We can always kick out Texas or sell Alaska back to the Russians if we don't want to have to make a new flag and stay at a nice and even 50.

Penguania And Antarctica
Not bad. Need to go into college tomorrow for just 5 minutes. Waste of a journey and train fare.
That makes no sense whatsoever
I'm not too bad. I need to go to my college tomorrow, but just for five minutes. It's a waste of a journey and a train ticket, because the cost of the journey due to the monopoly of the rail service outweighs the actual utility I receive from the amount of time spent there. Good riddance.
Nuremgard
I also need to get my new glasses fixed.
damn that is unfortunate
Penguania And Antarctica
dayum son thats a nice flag! It's also kinda funny because the colors are really similar to one of Tse's so I was really confused for like a full minute :-/
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
I know right?
Penguania And Antarctica
Any reason? I mean, he's been basically silent forever and I already have the claim so I don't see why I shouldn't just absorb it? I mean, thats what mags did to GNA and JC is already apart of me so it wont change anything...
but...but wyd...
I absorbed GNA for a different reason. He was inactive and we decided that if I wanted a fair shot at war with my neighbors, I might as well have his land.
I've also literally been this combined plot for what amounts to a year...
Yukona
take it!
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Has Andromitus had exclusive control of 100% of the land for this year?
Not necessarily. On the map you're shown as a dual state. I just added physical space to my claim because we decided to expand it. It's not like I consider half my population GNA's.
Might as well have, thats how its been RP'ed; this was our claim structure:
We view our populations as progressively larger spheres of influence as a zones population grows, that way the ultimate level of local power is achieved. So the Jotun Collectiveans could see themselves as a separate digital entity within the government. Like, if Andromitus is perceived as a bunch of large and small yellow spheres, like on a map of wifi usage in an area, he'd be a web of purple dots here and there across the landscape.
So, what was the legal status of the Jotun Collective? Was it a self autonomous province of your nation? I'm interested in case I ever have to go through with a similar thing.
Andromitus
I think the best way to think of him was a semi-sovereign commonwealth;
[spoiler=Spheres and Webs]
Groupings of these citizens who unanimously act in accordance to laws separate from Harmony are hence referred to as Spheres, if geographically united, or Webs, if Geographically separate
The Spheres and Webs shall have their own Judicial sectors but shall answer to the Innermost College High Judiciary
Spheres and Webs have the right to form their own laws, constitution, and economic sub-currency provided they dont conflict with the Bill of Rights, Tax Code, and remain connected to the overall economy
Each Sphere or Web has the right to form a well armed Militia, citizens that have joined then gain the right to own systems apart from Non-Lethal Non-military weapons; the Militia will then be recognized by the overarching Guardian Initiative, where they will have access to all Andreallic weapons of any calibre and have the right to trade military technology and equipment with other nations with consent of the Guardian Initiative.
Each Sphere or Web has the right to elect their own number of Senator in equal number to their ratio of members to total population[/spoiler]
So...the flag of the NGA?
Nice. :P
