Not to worry. None of the nation's reside in the CoFN, so as far as I am concerned... they have no business directing our internal affairs. While it is true that Equestrian Navy ships to sail past Denmark and around the English Channel, they are hardly threatening. I mean... when you see a Equestrian, British, French, and an American ship all anchored next to each other in the Channel just chilling....how am I threat-posturing? And while it is true that I happen to find 'furries' a bit attractive, I don't really go crazy with it. Take the animal away from a bikini-clad fox... and you have a 'foxy' beach babe. At least... that's how I look at it. But, what do I know.. I'm just a grumpy stallion.

The national religion is Gayism. I looked it up and it is another word for homosexuality. My people worship a gay Jesus.

Hey Oelesa, I know this isn't my job but can you deny that request? I don't think we, the region, want to be associated with a region that supports slavery. Vista, I agree. This region might need a new title.

To be fair I think that’s an overreaction. That region has one person in it and has currently gone on an embassy spam with any region that remotely links to the words conservative, anti-communist or confederacy. It doesn’t really mean we have to change our name

Still. As an African-American, I stand strongly against slavery and anyone who supports it. The word "confederacy" has been tainted by rebellious slave states. It is my opinion that we should change the name. But the fact that slavery is invovled is more than enough reason for me to want to change it.

Anyways, that's not exactly what I was implying that we do, change our name. Heck, I'm pretty sure we can't, unless we create a whole new region

Which we shouldn't do again.

Well of course. And you'll always have a place in Foregin Affairs if you are interested. It was a close race.

I wanted to make a post earlier today, but school interfered. When people win they mostly make big speeches and that's okay. I like those kinds of speechs too, but all I want to say is I have the region's best interest at heart. You all know me enough at this point. So along with our new Chancellor, I hope to bring change so we can be as strong as we once was.

A: If we stopped using any word that was associated with a bad thing, the list of words we actually could use would be very small. Some things can stand on their own away from the bad stuff they're associated with.

B: The CoFN is a global region, and I imagine the Brits, Aussies, Russians, etc. here don't feel the 'taint' of just the word 'confederacy'. This may sound odd coming from an American, bu I don't think we need to change ourselves just for the sake of a few Americans.

Personally, I disagree with the idea that a side can taint a word, really. If such was the case then Communism and Socialism would both be marred (USSR did some terrible crap and the Nazi's were literally the National Socialist Workers Party). IMO a word that describes a state is separate from the state's crimes. Besides, frankly speaking? Confederacy pretty perfectly describes us, we're a loose conglomeration of states united under a somewhat weak central gov that establishes laws we must follow but cannot infringe on the rights of self-governance of said state.

We'll just have to agree to disagree, IMO.

I feel so ashamed to be in your presence then. While I pull the whole Soviet thong, truth is... my family actually fought for the South in the American Civil War. While we didn't support slavery, we did believe that the government was threatening the rights of our state. I can't recall who fought where, but I know we lost someone at Gettysburg. I, myself, am a Civil War buff. I usually fight for the South on games like that, but it's for the challenge. Weaker numbers, less supplies, ect. Please forgive me.

Personally, I think it's all a matter of degree. Words like the 'n-word' and 'negro' I can understand being tainted by something bad, and the same goes for symbols like the swastika. But like you said, I don't think legitimate political concepts and words like 'confederacy' rise to that level in my opinion, and I don't think they can be so easily tainted.

You need not ask for forgiveness. I do not hate people who side with one side or the other. I hate people who want slavery to be brought back into the United States as well as people who threaten the well being of others.

The word is stained by it's past abusers, simply because we use a word doesn't mean we endorse it. We have to show people that times change and not everyone is like them. We can't hide from what happened, we have to show people that not everyone is like them.

I too have a bit of an interest in the Confederacy, but not because of slavery, or even because of the Civil War really. My interest is more in the mundane stuff, like their political structure, foreign relations, infrastructure, etc. I just want to get a sense of what the Confederacy was like, and what life was like for its citizens, not to glorify or praise it.

Good Day, my fellow Coffiners.

This region has been sleeping. For the past few months, we have gone through the motions of being a community without a great much to spark a great fire. Indeed, if the elections were any indication, our enthusiasm for government has since faded. It is the fault of no one; this sort of things happens to all great regions at some point during their history. The difference between great regions and fallen regions, however, is that great regions rise from their slumber and achieve greater glory than they ever had before. Fallen regions do not, and are abandoned in the trash heap of NationStates graveyards everywhere, either conquered by raiders or left to die in silence.

We will not be a fallen region.

We will be phoenixed who shall rise from the ashes, newborn with the spirit of revival and vision, innovation and communion. Together, we will be the spark that will light the fire that will burn down the cobwebs and decay. We have a grand opportunity with this administration to do everything over, to try new things, to make the Confederacy better for everyone. No longer should we suffer from trolls and vitriolic argument; instead, intellectual conversation and pleasant fun shall reign.

Join us, and let our positive visions of the future become as one, for everyone's sake. The Confederacy needs you now more than ever. Become the citizens you were meant to be. Cooperate and ascend into glory and prosperity.

It’s been tainted in pretty much America exclusively. Let’s not forget our other evil confederacy, Confoederatio Helvetica- aka Switzerland aka the most neutral country in the world.

Third: I don't claim to be king. I am Supreme Emperor.

So resistance against state force. Well, then it's martial law. The Gestapo will deal with all subverting suspects. Detention camps are already established and getting filled with your kind.

First of all: That wasn't a request.

Second: You didn't fight. I and my predecessors fought to keep the realm safe and prosperous.

Third: I don't claim to be king. I am Supreme Emperor.

So resistance against state force. Well, then it's martial law. The Gestapo will deal with all subverting suspects. Detention camps are already established and getting filled with your kind. The Gestapo kept a good registry about all agitators and troublemakers location. It should take less than a day to complete our purge. >:D

The Empress is also trained in the dark side of the force and can summon the Harbinger Minds.

While we didn't support slavery, we did believe that the government was threatening the rights of our state. I can't recall who fought where, but I know we lost someone at Gettysburg. I, myself, am a Civil War buff. I usually fight for the South on games like that, but it's for the challenge. Weaker numbers, less supplies, ect. Please forgive me.

Hey, I don't think having an interest in the civil war south is negative as long as it's purely rooted in curiosity and not some sort of revisionist pro-slavery thing.

I myself love the Confederate battle flag on purely aestetical grounds (it's an unique twist on US-style flags, it reflects the irish and scottish ancestry of the white settlers and is generally a nice design) but I also don't think you should put it on things because it (like say, the Nazi flag) represents something that commited horrible acts in the past.

I also hate it because now you can't use similar designs (for obvious reasons).

I just want saltires and stars on the same flag

Sure. What information are we trying to acquire and what would it be utilised for?

There's plenty of ways you can subvert the negative connotations attributed to a Saltire with stars similar to the CSA. Different patterns, different colours and even different stars.

So, like, I just came up with a good weapon for FT.

A Dart-ish shape weighing approx 200 kilograms travelling at 99.9% of C gets something like 80,245,502,000,000,000,000,000 joules from the sheer speed of it all, I'll naturally be trying to finagle something appropriate to calculate for warp too. Kally likes C:

All this talk about the CSA got me thinking... I think I'll try my hand at a combination of the Confederate "Southern Cross" and my Soviet Equestrian designs.

Remains to be seen. But probably race, gender, country, age (range), and real life political leanings would be a good start. No names, of course
