Whelp
U gotta make sure with the rest that it is a joke
I like to think that the reason why many intergalactic war games and series don't feature a weapon variation every episode or something like that
Because like, let's take Star Wars for example, if the Republic created a weapon, the Siths would probably also create one equal to or stronger than that one.
Like, there was a clone wars ep, which had a cruiser that deactivates the republic ships, but throughout the ep this ship is never used again or they create more of it
This could be because the republic has placed armor or procedures against this ship.
In other words, the reason why we don't see genius combat weapon creations in these franchises is because at some point it will be outdated or unusable.
So both sides don't create very advanced weapons for this reason.

I have some news for y'all
Me, as Maen,I will be going to a sleepaway camp after next week!
I have a big presentation during May 2 too. Its about LGBTQIA+ RIGHTS! As you know I am nonbinary, which is why I chose to do it on LBGTQIA+ rights. (Well, one of the reasons 😏 hint: The Region That Has No Big Banks.)
Brocklandia, Puttt, Krayo29, Mjau, Bean Territorry
And yes, I will have to not be on NationStates during the sleepaway camp. No electronics allowed.
Vordoslavia, Mjau, Bean Territorry
Good luck with your presentation, just a piece of advice, when you do it, do not reverse the order of the acronyms, it is LGTBIQA+
Puttt, Bean Territorry, Maen
Huh
I live in good ol savage VT and here its LBGTQIA+
Weird lol
Puttt, Vordoslavia, Krayo29
Break a leg with your presentation! You'll do great.
Vordoslavia
Thanks! Im actually genderqueer but nonbinary is basically the same thing lol
Vordoslavia, Krayo29
Imma log off for da day byyeeeee se ya tmrw at 5 EST USA

That is a very fair comment to make. A separate Minister of RP may not be what the region needs right at this very second, though I am confident in the long-term results of a separation of powers and will continue to campaign for them with my party :3

I've only ever seen n used LGBTQIA+ as well

The main historical focuses of my nation if it were on hoi4
Sindicalist path:
The sun rises west
A long time ago we were expelled from our homeland in the Americas, we, as descendants of the people present in the occupied and oppressed territories, we must liberate our lands, once and for all!
-----------------------------------//-------------------------------------
A new Dawn
We liberated our people, and won our glory, from east to west, we remain united, for a thousand years and more, glory to the new republic and glory to the new dawn
The Union of Social-Syndicalist Republics of the Pacific endding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technocratic Integralist Evoluciosnist path:
The Black Crusade
For many years, Asia has been ruled by heretics, primitives driven by their bodily and emotional intentions, it is time to free them,Their own, their free will, They want it or not
--------------------------------------//-----------------------------------
Below the Falcon's Eye
Finally, Asia is free from primitivism, United upon the eye of the black hawk, Free from freedom, free from misery, free from will
Intelligence is control
control is power
power is intelligence
The intelligarchy state of asia endding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Islamic path:
Remember the Afghans
Talikan's revolution was defeated, but his spirit remains in our hearts, it is time for us to liberate, it is time to expel the imperialists from our lands, for delhi, for allah!
-------------------------------------//-----------------------------------
United for now, and forever
After the defeat in India, the Chinese retreated from our lands, now we are free and the will of our ancestors has been fulfilled, now our future shines brighter than ever, glory to Allah
Islamic Republics of India endding

Democratic path:
...For a new day...
We were oppressed, taken from our lands, robbed of our belongings, robbed of our rights, it's time for change!, it's time for us to break our chains and show these reds the power of the people!
--------------------------------------//----------------------------------
...For a New Tomorrow...
We made it brothers!, free at last, free to live, free to think, free to love!, glory to the new republic!

All interview questions have now been sent out to every candidate across all races. Once again, I am really amazed by the level of depth and passion those who have answered have given and I look forward to seeing the rest.
Deputy Prime Minister candidates, your answers are due at about 9pm this evening (GMT). So, about roughly seven and a half hours from now. Contact me if there are any issues regarding that.
Prime Minister Candidates, you have until Tuesday 30th April @ 9pm (GMT) to send off your answers to the questions received.
Hopefully, after the 30th, the EC will have plenty of time to review, format and publish all the interviews to then give plenty of time for people to read them before polling day :3

My recommendations for voting for this voting session, as an MP:
Amendment to Article I (TK): This bill will allow for more people to be active and will drive less people who want to be active away to other regions who will allow them to be active quicker. For.
Amendment to Article IV (TK): This bill will state the term length of justices (consistently with the law written prior to the constitution). For.
Amendment to Article IX (WAF): This bill provides a tiebreaker mechanism for elections beyond instant runoff. For.
Amendment to Article IX (NUCL): This bill will prevent individuals for being singled out for voting for losing candidates. For.
Amendment to the Census Act (TK): This bill will ensure censuses happen in between every election. For.
Amendment to the CoC (TK): This bill will add defamation and nonconsensual use of works as CoC offenses, in order to help protect individual security. For.
Amendment to the HTA (ATG): This bill will relate the initial bill more to the constitution, and will include more standards for Honorary Titles. For.
Ratification of TRTHNBB Anthem: Its just a fun anthem that GC put his own time into making. For/abstain.
Revised Defendership Accords: This bill is just a good revision to the original Defendership Accords that improves formatting and wording. For.

There is no problem in the order of the letters. And I don't intend to create a controversy here. But it is true that within the group we have debates about the reality that certain letters, like T, suffer greater discrimination and it is necessary to make this visible because they are a minority within the minority. The same happens with non-binary people. Let's say that society has more difficulty understanding these terms and this is the reason for bringing these letters. I want this to be understood as a healthy and respectful debate as we usually have within LGTBIQ+ associations.
Uan Aa Boa
seems unfair, it's only a few lines and has no more detail than is necessary
Vordoslavia, The Kaverian
Lol
we will play the anthem before every games night!
I dont think how you order the letters reflects in any way trans discrimination

Hi lemona
Lemona, Vordoslavia
It is difficult to maintain a conversation with messages and in a language you do not know. But if you are interested in the topic, you can surely find a lot of information online about the history and evolution of the acronym LGTBIQ+ How acronyms were added over the years and the demands of the different groups, for example, why the L is the first letter,...

I'd be interested to get other's opinions on moving Citizenship from 30 days to 20 days. What does everyone think?
Personally I know, this is something which has been discussed on multiple occasions, especially when developing the constitution. Our current system encourages people to remain loyal to the region, in order to get the benefits of citizenship. Our speedy way to become a Citizen quicker is by endorsing Yodle and joining discord (thereby encouraging these two things).
In reality I don't think 30 days is too long to wait, and is just about the right level for a region of our esteem and size, - if people can't afford to stick around 30 days their loss!
Anyways, I know this has been much discussed on discord but I'd especially like to here from the RMB dwellers regarding this too. What should be the regions Citizenship requirements (i.e how many days, WA members only? etc.), how should the citizenship process work and any general ideas?
Vordoslavia
Soooooooo I may or may not have forgotten NS existed for a bit lmao

1. People have to remain loyal to maintain citizenship as well.
2. If citizenship is given to those loyal, then the fact that joining discord and endorsing Yodle on day 1 shows more loyalty than someone whos been in the region for more than 3 weeks waiting to become active seems kind of dumb to me.
3. There is a region with 57 times more population than TRTHNBB, and only 10-15% of our population even is slightly active as far as I see.
4. While this is my favorite region on NS (dont get me wrong), its not their loss if another region gives them easier access to be active, and then we lose potential new leaders.
5. If citizenship was only WA thatd even further decrease activity (for example, New-Union doesnt have WA).
6. Lets see lets use our pals over at RGBN as an example. All residents of the region are citizens.
America The Greater, Vordoslavia
1. I agree
2. We are stating the importance endorsing Yodle and Discord, which shows more willingness to participate in our region.
3. Not to sure what you are getting at
4. We aren't aspiring to become the biggest region on NS, and it defo is their loss lol.
5. I agree re: WA that's why I like our current system, I was opening up discussion points
Vordoslavia
I have always been in the mind that the maximum day anyone should wait for citizenship is no longer than 10 days. Whilst I could provide my reasoning, a lot of it would simply be parroting what TK has already mentioned in his post.
On top of that, it is of my opinion that tying joining the Discord and endorsing Yodle in order to bypass that wait should be removed entirely. Simply endorsing our Delegate more than suffices. It really doesn't sit right with me that there is a demand to join what is a social media platform (as I have said on Discord, ironically) in order to bypass someone who (as TK has said) has waited over 3 weeks to become a fully-fledged member of the region.
Whilst Discord is an amazing platform for quick community discussion, at the end of the day there is a large portion of people who either do not have or do not want to use it, and instead simply want to be on NationStates.
America The Greater, Vordoslavia, The Kaverian, Maen
2. Ehh, our region is on NS, Discord is just an alternative we use for convenience.
3. I mean we arent that big of a region in the grand scheme of things.
4. If you lost people, like some of the newer people with a lot of potential or experienced NS players that didnt like Discord, over an extraneous wait time, thatd be our loss.
5. Thats fair enough.
