Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
For everyone's benefit, I just want to clarify that:
- Under Unf's proposed constitution, there will be three Supreme Court Justices who will be elected at the same time as the Chancellor, Cabinet, and Speaker.
- Under Vista's proposed constitution, there will be a single Supreme Justice who will be elected by the House.
- Under the current constitution, there will be a single Chief Justice elected by the citizenry writ large.
Vista Major, Oelesa
Any time mate.
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, but for now we have the Chief Justice.
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Boo, liberals.
Mauricil
True, true. It's just that, depending on the current vote tally, it looks like this practice won't continue. But Chief Justice is basically comparable to Vista's Supreme Justice, save for the fact that the election would take place in the House.
Which is completely fine for you to be announcing you candidacy for. Just wanted to make sure people were aware of what the potential outcomes were for the upcoming election where the Judiciary were concerned.
Oelesa
Thats me.
For the record though, Unf supreme Court council idea is something I love about his.
I can go for Vista's constitution as well, both are great pieces of work.
Btw [nation=short]vista major[/nation], and [nation=short]Unfallious[/nation]. The winner gets to be printed and stored right in my desk at home :p
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I like that idea, too. There's no real reason to have a hierarchy within the Courts for a region of our size and low legal demand. Having three equal judges that take turns adjudicating cases and who all convene to hear cases of Constitutional importance seems reasonable to me.
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
How are you all doing, bitches?
Penguania And Antarctica
Boo, Cons/libertarians.
Boo... Are you a Communist? Oh nasty. A bit too fair I think.
Yeah. But cons are libs (liberal being used literally as an ideology that condones free market capitalistic practices).
Yukona
Yep, actually. Not too fond of liberals to be honest.
I'm digging a forty foot eighteen inch deep trench in eighty degree weather.
I want to die.
Penguania And Antarctica
Neolibs.
Sounds like fun.
Penguania And Antarctica
It wouldn't be as bad if my choice of pants are always loose fitting.
Large amounts of physical work (enough to lose weight) + Loose fits = not fun
Am currently, eating as much cereal as possible as to not leave any food waste before moving out.
Nuremgard
I'm doing okay. Nothing to report on my end. Hbu ?
What are you doing that for?
Penguania And Antarctica
Get out of Toryville, mate and come back to civilisation.
Not bad. Just sort of gazing at British politics in amazement. In the same way you might gaze at a car crash. It's horrendous to look at but you cant tear your eyes away.
Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia
Good day, muh peoples
How are you guys doing?
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I'm alright. You?
Pool pump power cord.
Oelesa
I'm doing good. Tired. Prolly go to bed soon. You ?
Good Nurem, I am doing swell right now.
Tired as well, but making it through. Have a good rest my dude

I'll have popcorn and blue tea (extra sweet, please)
I should probably avoid a rant, as to avoid another #BLM argument, but I'll say that it's a rather lethal issue that could be better handled with [I]much[/I] better trained cops and much community input, for better relations. By and large, City-Cop relations are none too great right now, especially among POCs.
I've seen a few, rode a pony when I was in preschool. They're truly majestic creatures.
I wanna travel to Germany, Italy, France, and Japan. I could one or two of those things in college for study abroad.
I was Yay, but then Percy Jackson movies happened.... Then the Last Airbender movie... I'm so sorry *cries*

I'll have popcorn and white wine.
Police brutality: While there are some cases that are disputed (ex: Michael Brown), there are some pretty clear-cut cases of police brutality that are pretty frustrating to say the least (ex: Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Charles Kinsey). And while the primary targets of these incidents are black, they aren't the only ones affected. Still, I have no problem with police in general, but some areas seem to have worse police cultures than others.
Horses: I only rode a horse once, and I was probably only about 6 or 7. It was nice, but it wasn't real horseback riding (the horse was going very slowly around a small circular track), and I don't know if I'd enjoy the real thing.
Traveling: As someone who took a tour of Europe quite recently, I definitely recommend it! It gives you a chance to see sights you would otherwise never get to see, in an atmosphere you have never experienced before. I know I had wonderful time; my favorite country that I visited was Switzerland.
Bonus: It depends. Some can be good and necessary (ex: Toy Story 2 and 3), some can be good but unnecessary (ex: Beauty and the Beast and Jungle Book live-action remakes), some can be bad and unnecessary (ex: Cars 2), and some can even be bad but necessary (though I can't think of any examples at the moment). Overall, I'd say I'm not opposed to them in general, but I wish we had more original ideas in Hollywood.

Huh, thought it was "Place"
I'll have to change that in the fanfiction
Jaslandia
I'll take some Fried Chicked and Blue Tea
Police Brutality- We've made progress from Rodney King and the LA Riots, but there's still a long way to go. Adopting body cams would definitely help.
Horses- I've never ridden one, but I would like to one day. Y'know, just in case the apocalypse happens and I need to become a Wild West bandit and get on horseback to get around.
Traveling- About to go to DC in a week. I'm pretty excited for it. I'd really like to go to Europe, specifically Northern Europe like Iceland, the Nordic Countries, Scotland, etc.
Sequels: Depends on the quality of the original and how much substance can be used to create a sequel
Prequel: Yes. Unless it's Star Wars. In that case, mesa say God no
Remakes: No. Go make an original movie, you lazy directors. I don't wanna see your trashy remake.
Reboots: Refer to the "Remake" comment.

Police brutality: How awful! I'm sorry to say Sodor has had a few police brutality incidents over the past 10 years, but it's still much better than in other places in the world.
Horses: I actually saw a flying horse once!

Traveling: I've done a bit of traveling. I went to Lancashire in England recently, and I also went to London once with some of the other engines.

Fried chicken and white wine, please. :)
Police Brutality:
Sad that such a thing exists. The ones which are there to protect us harm us. I think tighter checks and constant evaluations might help to identify policemen with agressive or violent tendencies faster.
Horses:
I've 'rode' a horse once (or was it a pony ?) when I was younger. But that was on a festival for kids. I knew a classmate which was a horse freak. And my girl cousin is a horse freak. For me horses are nice and but my life doesn't depend on them.
Traveling:
I would travel if I had the money to do so. Well, living in the middle of Europe surrounded my 9 other countries doesn't make it hard to get into another nation but the expenses are still there. I've been to Poland, Denmark, UK (England), Czech Republic and Netherlands when I was very young (don't have any memory about those), and I've been to Vienna last summer. I would like to travel to Canada, USA, France, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Italy, Greece, Australia, Cuba, and many other countries.
Bonus Topic:
Well, some of the prequels and sequels are well made and other aren't. Remakes are for me mostly worse than the original movie and don't create the feeling and atmosphere of the original movie. Furthermore are remakes for me a sign that the movie makers don't have any new ideas but instead try to use a story that worked one time, so they think it will work a second time. For me that's a sign that those people lack creativity
Dear regionmates,
You are great people.
-Peng <3
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Yukona
Fried Chicken and white wine, alcohol is a must
Police Brutality:
Whilst not as prominent as it is in America, Scotland does also suffer from the occasional stint of this. Interestingly its the bigger police forces in cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow that have a higher percentage of this than smaller Scottish towns. Make of that what you will.
Horses:
I am slightly intimidated by them. They're HUGE and are ripped af, I would not want to be on ones bad side.
Travelling:
I've saved up since the beginning of this year to go to Budapest with my gf, I'm looking forward to it as I've never been to Hungary before.
Bonus Topic:
I am a massive supporter for sequels and prequels, I believe a sequel/prequel can do great things for a piece of media and the world it is trying to build. I'm the sort of person who gets an extremely melancholic feeling when finishing a great book, game, film, comic knowing that it is finished. That's why I appreciate sequels. Remakes on the other hand miss the point for me, the idea for a remake surely should be to correct the flaws in the media it is remaking? I'm of the opinion they should remake bad films or extremely flawed films and remake them into their intended purpose! Reboots are fine, depends on the medium, if a story and world has nowhere else to go/has hit a wall a good reboot can be great for it. I'm a bigger fan for soft-reboots though.

Keepin' it going!
Greek yogurt and orange juice, please. It's still morning where I am.
Police brutality - Well, I don't think it's a good thing. What's ridiculous is that some jurisdictions outlaw things such as recording police officers. I also agree that body cams would help, privacy concerns for the public notwithstanding. Courts should be quick to recognize that the cams are for the purpose of ensuring proper conduct and not being used to better monitor private citizens. If they, say, record the presence of a joint when doing a protective sweep of a private residence, for instance, they shouldn't be able to be used as evidence.
Horses - I have this conversation so often, and I honestly prefer cows. Horses can be unpredictable, vindictive, and harmful. Cows are like your stoner friend who just wants to chill and wat doritos.

Visiting a Violetist temple on the west side of Tidmouth youre surprised to see your teenage nephew, Montague, at the temple and wearing the traditional purple skullcap of Violetism.
Electric locomotive? I imagine Stafford is pretty happy today, then; Stafford is one of the few electric engines on the Island of Sodor.
"Visiting a Violetist temple on the west side of Tidmouth youre surprised to see your teenage nephew, Montague, at the temple and wearing the traditional purple skullcap of Violetism."
Oh, hello there Duck (Montague is Duck's real name)! Didn't expect to see you here. And I had no idea you were my teenage nephew! Learn something new everyday.
Duck: I'm not, Percy. I'm 88 years old, and engines don't have nieces and nephews. Let's just say I was doing some... undercover work for the Supreme Council, which required me to... embellish a few things. Nothing you need worry about.

Just a heads up... The Equestrian Republic is now selling a few of its most prized "superweapons" from the captured then revived Third Reich Wunderwaffe program.

Just so you know, that military factbook is painfully out of sync with the limits for regional RP.
The upper limits for people for people in the military services is 1.5million people -this may change to depend more on map population- while the limits for a navy's compliment of ships is 200 ships with a maximum of the US's Super-Carriers. (Please don't go to the maximum)
Also, follow a relatively straight line with the aircraft, keep within US bounds if possible.
Lastly, those weapons should maintain both feet in MT. Oh, and because I'm a jerk I'll critique things in it if they're really weird :p
If you don't plan to RP, then this doesn't matter as much because you're allowed to have national lore, it just won't be recognized in Regional Lore. I'll still pick apart those superweapons though.

Dissolving the government in Scotland was a mixed blessing. Although I need to start from scratch, it's fun to go on public spending sprees on welfare, healthcare etc. with taxes being so low.
Andromitus, The United Providences Of Perland
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I need advice. I currently have 6 nations. 3 democracies and 3 dictatorships. Nuremgard, Valyria and Scotland all have high civil and political rights. Tangshan and Ruhmia are both dictatorships, the former being low on both civil and political rights and the latter being high in civil rights but low in political rights.
My question is: should Farahan be low in civil rights but have high political rights (a constitutional Islamic monarchy basically) or should it be low in civil and political rights (an absolute Islamic monarchy?)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I'd go with low civil right and high political rights, just to mix it up a bit. Plus, it could be a fun challenge to try to achieve that exact combination.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah, I don't have a mix like that yet. I have 2 issues for Farahan which will allow me to increase political freedoms.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Was gonna say the same thing. Interested in how that would pan out. Low civil rights and political freedoms has been done so many times.
Also, how do you manage six nations, Nurem?! I always let the issues pile up on my single nation.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I have 3 countries which have welfare states and universal healthcare (Nuremgard, Ruhmia and Scotland.) Tangshan and Valyria have no such things. Should Farahan have a "go at it alone, look after yourself" type government or should it be more socially inclined by providing welfare, healthcare etc?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Well I have the summer off now so I have time on my hands. And I love this game because I love politics and I love making different countries with different ideologies.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Go it alone. But if there are options for health-related issues that focus on relying on religion and religious institutions, choose those.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
So no safety net or national pension? No public healthcare system? Basically leave it to charities and religious organisations?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Unless it'll conflict with your ability to raise political freedoms, I'd say yeah
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
Fair enough. Makes sense. There are currently welfare and healthcare provisions in place but I'll remove them when I can. What about education and transport? How would a socially and economically conservative Islamic government approach those?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Religious education. Transportation could go either public or private- even conservative governments usually don't have a problem investing in infrastructure. Maybe privatized transportation, but subsidized roads, ports, etc.?

Hey, Kal. How do you manage to keep a beautiful environment but such a low level of deaths in the wilderness?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Well what tips are we talking about? We have a wide variety of things to do here, from the RMB-Discord community, Regional Affairs, Interregional Affairs, Roleplay, and unique events such as Tea Time!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Whats tea time and do you guys always rp?
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Tea Time is an RMB activity that involves us all sitting around and having a little chat over some snacks, drinks, and topics; for example
https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=26082759
https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=26083022
https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=26083136
Well, to be quite honest RP has been a bit slow, we have a bunch of people who are great at RP'ing, yet none of us can get one going, and after a slight scandal regarding non-consensus OOC rule changes the RP sector of our Region has been quiet. However, if you want to get one going, I know for a definite fact that you'll have a bunch of people lined up to start something new!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Carjuanga
Tea times nice
