Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Is there a petition i can file or some sort of way to persuade whoever took Hungary to allow me to take it?
I also hope Au Minbo ans I could find something agreeable.
I just translated what I typed. And I figured out that Google translate is wrong all the time. I will also say that Google is an anti Russian company.
The Vidnoye
And then you complain that people's weapon/building/tank designs are "impractical".
Mostly fossil fuels. Renewable energy is for governments who actually care about their people.
INB4 Nuclear reactors are an impractical source of power generation because wot power density.
No but really, it's a bad comparison considering that the designs I criticize have either no point in war or are next to impossible with current tech.
Hey Vid, I'm looking on both the Directory Map and Bax's map and it says that Plot 11 (The Hungarian plot you forged) is still open? Am I looking in the wrong area or what?
haha, bax told me it was taken :(
Well Baxten isn't the Cartographer anymore and both maps say its open, when Oel comes back into commission (or if someone is currently acting as Interim Cartographer) I'm sure you'll get the spot :D

Google Translate is crap in general.
Slavankya
I know google is notorious for terrible translation for the Russian language, but god damn, that is almost insultingly bad.
Jaslandia, Slavankya
I am so fickle with my nations.

Gave me a good laugh though. It says "hello and good afternoon.".
So I walk into a dentist's office see why my mouth tastes like a hardboiled egg, and I walk out with a prescription for broad-spectrum antibiotics, a referral to an oral surgeon, and an x-Ray showing that I have 3 impacted wisdom teeth, with one located in my sinus tissue if all places.
And my mouth still tastes like crap. I can't even look at scrambled eggs without gagging.

I know what it says, I am native speaker
Is that why they come and go from the region like manic, season-confused geese?

Post self-deleted by Solla Ultima.
what the heck is going on with the map i thought olesa was the cartographer why is Tserra posting it
As someone who's chatted a bit with him over it, Oel has been gone for a bit due to issues in his life and this map is essentially a backup for if he doesn't return in a reasonable amount of time.

Ha! Explain THAT flat earthers
Jaslandia, Auxillium, Percyton
The city I live in has a single (man-made) body of water in the centre around which the city's main park is built. I was walking around it one day this summer and every 100 metres or so were "facts" that disproved the existence of a spherical Earth written in chalk on the path.
I thought they were jokes. And that's when my boyfriend introduced me to the hilarity that is the flat Earth movement.
Jaslandia, Auxillium, Axeldonia, Andromitus, Confederal States
That's disturbing.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Andromitus, Confederal States
Yeah, we are pretending Antarctica is really there though. I gave him the southern most Islands to give Peng a physical presence also.

Sorry I've been gone awhile. Preparations for the N-Day evacuations kept me busy, and there were some problems with the cables and wireless signals in the bunker that made my connection kinda spotty. On the bright side, there was no coup this year! Neither Diesel nor Diesel 10 appeared to have tried anything this year, presumably they knew we were watching them and could have guards called in to stop them at any time.
Also, welcome to all the new nations of the CoFN! I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you all like it here!

Btw, I'm thinking of setting up a whole new RP. You know, fix some things with the existing MT one and move it a bit forward in time so as to allow some more creative ideas flourish.
We don't know what the next 50-100 years will hold for us politically, socially, technologically, and economically, and this grand unknown is a great starting point to allow for people to interpret things in their own special way, whatever it may be!
If you're interested in helping in the process of building this, send me a TG or Discord DM! Of course, I'm also open to suggestions from anyone.

Thank you, I try.
While I would not have a problem with giving you the extra land, I want to make sure everyone has a chance to ask for what they want first. If no one else asks for it, within a reasonable amount of time, I will see about giving it to you.

Alright everyone, just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the final day to announce your candidacy for the September election. This will take place from September 1st to 4th.
I want to thank those who have announced their candidacy over the last two days, and indeed all candidates, for making it so that the majority of elected offices will now be democratically contested during this election.
However, I must stress again my concern that there are still no candidates for Speaker of Parliament. I am very worried for what this may mean for our region as I believe all legislative measures will otherwise be placed on hold until a by-election produces a Speaker. So, please consider running for the office of Speaker of Parliament and announce your candidacy as soon as possible by telegraming both Baxten and myself.
For announced candidates, please consult the elections factbook to ensure that all information reflected is correct.
For voters, please consult the same factbook so as to become informed of your candidates, their platforms, and the offices being contested.
For prospective candidates and voters, please consult the citizenship roster to ensure that you are a citizen. This is necessary to vote and stand for office.

September 17th is now regarded as a holiday in the Equestrian Empire. "Alliance Day".. Where the ESSR's allies are invited to come to Stalliongrad for the biggest party in the whole Empire. It matters not what or who you are, come PARTY! We will find a way to transport your leaders, their family, military brass, and even civilians! Its our little Equine way of showing appreciation to those who have accepted us. NEIGH!

Hmm. I actually rather like this idea.
Even though my nation is traditionally set in the past (~1900 CE), I could get behind this. It would alleviate some of the need to be completely up-to-date on what modern tech is logically/reasonably comprised of, and would allow for a little more creativity.
I think a lot of peoples' current factbooks and nation structure could be very much applicable, and I'd be willing to create some new factbooks that would show what the Continental Commonwealths looks like 200 years after being founded so as to participate.
