Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Hello, long time no see, as the former leadership feared Spanelsko has died and fallen into anarchy. (i was inactive for too long)
But from its ashes a new Anarcho-Capitalist regime has risen, and Iberia will be great again. (unlikely)

Welcome back! I was just in the process of cleaning out the various militant groups to make Spain safe to resettle. Now that your back, I'll pull out my troops. xD
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
So this was why we were fighting some unknown horselike creatures..... well at least our brothers have now stories to tell among themselves and the other mercenary groups. I hope that both of our nations will be able to coexist together, and if you ever need few thousand men to ensure safety, purge, pillage or something (anything for money) we are always here prepared.

There most certainly is when it's associated with something undoubtedly illegal. Either way, there are quite a few places where it's illegal regardless, and perhaps for good reason.

Good afternoon all!

Dear Gualimole
I hereby inform you that there is an complaint against you for harassement. Furthermore I inform you that I asked the Supreme Court to initiate proceedings regarding harassment by a private citizen according to Sec. 2 ss. 2 of Law #002 (Criminal Code).
As Chief Constalbe I ask you to stop posting defamatory stuff. It's rude and disrespectful. Nobody needs or wants a smear campaign. Be aware that I will not hesitate to intervene if necessary.
Kind regards

That moment when you become a manager and your asked to immediately fire someone.
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Mercunova, Midasia
Been there.
Russkov Soviet, Mercunova
The sad part is that I'm the only one that didn't want to fire him, but it had to be done. -cries-
Jaslandia, Mercunova
Been there.
There was one time I fired a guy, quite unceremoniously, for coming into work high. I was not pleased.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
Also, for the poll, I definitely am on the option regarding stopping it. Though I'm more on board with simply taking countermeasures to flow with climate change. As it stands, while I believe we definitely should take steps to slow it down, I believe our other primary concern should also be rolling with climate change's punches. Such as preparing for the rising sea levels and erratic weather patterns.

Oh god please f*cking help us its 32 degrees Celsius in Scotland and our buildings are literally melting.

Are they made out of cheddar? :P
Jaslandia, Lex Caledonia
If you're a small-government minded conservative/right-libertarian, then a carbon tax and an energy tax would be effective ways of reducing carbon emissions with little government intervention. Not only that, but a cap and trade system relies on market mechanisms to reduce carbon emissions in the cheapest ways possible.
Nuremgard, Yukona, Spanelsko
I wish. I think some rubber sealing in some buildings are legit melting though.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
That's sounds no good.

Didnt expect the poll to be so one sided, but its nice to know were all on board for a green future - if it remains concrete for the next day Ill create a new one
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia
It's a delicious piece of your regional cuisine. :)
Yukona
If you were forced to fight for one of the four nations, who would you choose? (And no... You can't be the Avatar xD)
{Anyone is allowed to respond!}
Jaslandia
It's good to see the people of the region are scientifically literate and not bought by big oil/coal.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Haven't voted yet. I'll go do that xD
Penguania And Antarctica
Tough one, but I'd say the Air Nomads (pre-genocide, of course). They seemed to have the most stable and peaceful society, airbending is really cool and can be quite powerful (see Zaheer suffocating the Earth Queen in the sequel series Legend of Korra), and since they're pacifists, I wouldn't have to do much fighting anyway.
Russkov Soviet
Good choice! I'd probably be on the Fire Nation mostly due to their technological advantages, but I'm also partial to being on the Earth Kingdom side after watching Ba Sing Se fall.

No, Connor is slightly ugly.
You just have bad taste.
Axeldonia, Mercunova, Midasia
I don't have bad taste. I leave a bad taste in people's mouths.
Mercunova
Your boyfriend tell you that? I hear having a healthier diet makes it taste better.
Axeldonia
Boyfriend? You really are kind. Also, the anime p0rn that Merc sent you was from me.
Yukona
Yes...he mentioned that lol.
I hope you enjoyed them all, especially the younger men if you know what I mean. 😉
He only sent one picture. I wasn't very keen to be honest.
Yukona
That's too bad.
Yukona
I prefer my men to be in video games. Like beautiful Connor.
Axeldonia, Mercunova
Ew.
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/WeakSaneGossamerwingedbutterfly-size_restricted.gif
That's more flattering, I will admit. The picture you originally showed was fairly ugly. This Connor actually looks good.
Nuremgard
He's a cutie.

Mercunova
Yes. What you are sending me now is more flattering.
Nuremgard
One more.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rGmax6vTGZQ/maxresdefault.jpg
He looks like a douche in this one. Pass.
To be fair, that's his newer and more upgraded model.
More like downgrade.
I like his jacket.
People are better without clothes.

Thanks Jas, having a lovely time!
It's very relaxed here! :P
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Yukona
Hey all, so for a number of months now, its become clear to me and -evidently a few others- that the family and community inside of the region has for lack of a better word, disintegrated since the days of the original CFN. We make no mistakes about how it was then, it wasnt idyllic and perfect, but itd be disingenuous at best to say that weve not been on the decline in a number of ways how we treat each other, how the government delivers on its duties and how we handle our issues with each other as a mechanic of the constables. By this point, the political sphere is rotted through the core, its beyond the purview of repair by the people whove chosen to leave. The sudden censure of Constidor -which occurred only after our intent to leave was made clear to certain members of the community- isnt capable of fixing the feeling that the Constables havent acted in their roles and werent pushed to do so by those who have power.
We dont feel that all of the COFN are bad, obviously, and certain members will definitely keep up conversations with those of you who choose to stay here, we simply dont feel that the region itself is livable at this stage. Members of ours will certainly keep in conversations with members of the region, but we will self-moderate as a separate region.

Hey guys,
So, I'm fairly certain it's come to the attention to a lot of people here, including myself, that this region is far from perfect, and I, for one, refuse to follow blindly alongside the masses and shun the actual problems here. There are a plethora of flaws with this region, most of the examples of which will be in Kalaron's post. As such, I've decided to leave the region along with the others who recognize the problems with the Confederacy. I truly hope for the best with you all. If you should wish to follow and be a part of our new community, I will be leaving to the region shortly.
We depart for the promised land, Farewell.
~Aldwood
Russkov Soviet
Hey guys, so I guess the word is out, a bunch of us are leaving. I've had so much fun and history with you guys and there's so many stories that I'm going to remember from my time here, but for the reasons already listed I'm going to be moving along. I'm still going to be active on the discord, and I plan to continue my gigatonnes of Lore for the Medieval Roleplay until the day I die, but you won't see me outside of there.
It's been so great on this ride with you, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
Russkov Soviet, Yukona, Percyton
Well, I was about to comment on how much activity has been happening here lately, but then I saw all the people leaving. No! I'll miss you all! I wish you didn't have to leave, but I wish you all the best wherever you end up! *starts to cry*
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
Does that mean you'll still be in the Medieval RP? Because that wouldn't be the same without you Andy!
Jaslandia
Since I'm on mobile, I'll make it blunt: stuff's gotten too toxic for handling. This isn't destroying the region, this is, in some folks' opinion, problematic elements fleeing. For me, it's finally bouncing after one too many times of seeing folks being complete dìcks to one another, especially Constidor (like I said, I'm being blunt).
I hereby resign as Discord administrator and CFN Citizen effective immediately, and will move all accounts excluding Chernarus within the following week. If you want to follow or express anger, feel free to do so, but for me, I'm out. I'll be on Discord, but any replies to this message will not be responded to.
Side note: Under the provisions of DESA, I will hand the ownership account for the server to the Government by private message - nothing will be tampered and access will be given.
Russkov Soviet, Yukona
How typical. The going got tough, so rather than stick it out and make do, they left. These youngsters nowadays can't handle anything. You all could learn a thing or two from me. I often didn't feel well when I pulled trains on the Mid-Sodor, but did I quit and whine for a fitter? Heck no! I kept going. And when I had no choice but to quit, I still made sure that everyone knew I wasn't just a weak engine. Ah yes, those were the days... *falls asleep*

Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, James The Red Engine
You too? Nooo! Oh dear. I hope the Medieval RP doesn't lose ANOTHER nation to this.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
I wouldn't be so harsh, Duke. They may have perfectly legitimate reasons for leaving. And I think being kind to them is a better method than being angry.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
I've very sorry to see everyone go, and I wish you all stayed! Still, I'm not going to try to talk you out of it, and I wish you all the best of luck in your new region! Hopefully our paths will cross again someday!
Russkov Soviet
The fact that I can leave an impression on people's minds, whether it be positive or negative, always makes me happy.
Nuremgard, Mercunova, Yukona, Percyton, James The Red Engine, Spanelsko
Ah, a good old fashioned secession. Knowing the history of this region, I guess it was inevitable.

Post self-deleted by Russkov Soviet.
Wow.... so many people left. Has the Confederacy really gotten THAT bad? I know a few people have gotten out of hand, but.... Jeez. It's the ESU all over again. I'm torn between leaving and trying to rebuild, but there are still a few of you here I would hate to leave.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Percyton, Spanelsko

Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Yes, you've definitely had your moments. But I sense a bigger problem has caused this.
Jaslandia, Percyton, Spanelsko
I hear ya. You could send a puppet to one or the other region, but I would personally encourage you to keep your main here. We're a nice place really, and we have a good community going here.
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
I've sent a puppet to the other region just a few min ago xD.
Percyton
Alright. Bed time. Night guys!
Jaslandia, Percyton, James The Red Engine
Goodnight, Russ!
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
Goodnight, Russ!
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
I'm with Duke on this one. They couldn't stand the heat, so they got out of the smelters. How unimpressive. Oh well! That just means they won't be able to admire my splendid red paint! It's their loss if you ask me.
Jaslandia
well yunno
I'm here till the region dies, after that I'll put my nation out to pasture or find a full-on RP region or something.
I'm not angry at this point, I'm just disappointed.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Lex Caledonia, Yukona, Anglia Imperium, The British Islands Confederacy
It definitely is the ESU all over again. Like the ESU, you got the founders feeling nostalgic about the past and feeling like the region is dying, so they found a new region in which most of the core active members went to but eventually that region died off too and those core members found themselves basically without a region to call home until they finally found a new region. :/
Russkov Soviet, Axeldonia, Mercunova, Yukona
The good news here is that not all of the active core members have left. As this RMB shows, we still have plenty of active people left.
Yukona, Percyton, Spanelsko
That's right! It's not over yet! Here are some hopeful and happy songs to cheer everyone up!

Thank you for trying to keep our spirits up, Percy! Here's one more song to encourage everyone! I'd say this one is particularly relevant.

The vast majority of the active members remained if you're looking at it from the regional government standpoint.
Jaslandia, Yukona
No matter where youre going or if youre staying here. Youre always welcome here in my eyes. I can understand why some folks want to leave and it is a real shame, youre all good people and I think this community is a unique and fun one.
Leaving or Staying, my door is open if you want to vent or just talk. I hope we can still be friends and have a fruitful interregional relationship. I plan to stay here and help make the CoFN a better place.
No matter what happens now, I wish those leaving the best of luck and youre always welcome back. Love you, ya wee cuties.

Jaslandia, Lex Caledonia
can i ask what happened? to me (as i didn't bother myself with reading over 1000 posts or how many it was, probably more than double) i have no clue what happened (which is why i am asking) i am fine with the explanation being in a telegram if its some ´´heavy´´ topic which people don't want to mention openly.

Fellow Citizens,
I wish to inform and ensure all citizens that the founder nation is secure and is now held in trust by Jaslandia, Au Minbo and myself as co-protectors.
Also, at some point today I will be opening the candidacy period for a by-election for the office of Vice Chancellor. It will, like regular elections, be a seven-day candidacy followed by a three-day vote.
The Government of the Confederacy has taken note of the departure of several members. I would like to assure everyone that our government remains committed to serving its citizens and conducting business as usual. The Confederacy of Free Nations remains a reliable home for its citizens; past, present and future. We will continue to uphold these ends as we make a transition to a new system of government and a new era.
Kind regards,
☿️ Merc
