Hello Pyhdon

"12 Days of No Big Banks!"
As Christmas music starts to play on radio stations all around the first world, the TRTHNBB government, with the success of the SummerFest earlier this year, have considered doing it again for the holiday season!
Expect to see:
- Games Night!
- Music Night!
- Lore Quiz!
- Chess League!
- And more, courtesy of New United Common-Lands!
We'd be happy to hear any suggestions from any of you for 12DoNBB!

b-but
that means that after 12 days, big banks will happen
Socialistic Britain, Adreabhal, Mjau
I cant wait to probably not be able to participate in any of these
Yodle, Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Mjau
12 days of opportunity for you too attend lol

Z-Day 2023 Debrief & Analysis
Thanks to all nations who participated in Zday this year, this meant we were able to place 5th for Most Survivors + No Quarantine and 24th for Most Survivors. The best results ever in the history of our region!
Check out the detailed breakdown in the dispatch below.

I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted too. We were meeting my sisters boyfriend yesterday.
America The Greater, New United Common-Lands, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
no worries - every little bit helped!

MARIAH CAREY, IN RETAIL STORES
IN NOVEMBER...
MY BIRTH MONTH?!?!?!?!
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
Indeed, for two whole months (along with like at most 20 other songs on loop throughout the two month span)
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
oh, and I guess Lemona and Socialistic Britain too, if I will I will take this to TRTHNBB High Court
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
Taking this to high court will do nothing for you; scientific advancement is only applicable for RP and that's the way that we do things. I get your frustration, but if you don't like where your score is at, then invest in the Scientific Advancement stat. It takes time to raise it (which is why the larger nations often have such high stats). There's really no other way around it.
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
No
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
Its not within the jurisdiction of the regional court there is no laws on RP and it is managed by the Minister of Culture and RP Admins
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
Whatever, but this is dumb, I still want to be known as a modern nation during RP, mostly because I am one
Kaidia
Not according to your scientific advancement stat. It sucks, I know, but we have to base our rp off of something. And as shown by the earlier entity godmodding comes real easy to stuff like that.
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
Do medals count for anything, I am ranked in the top ten percent for most ADVANCED law enforcement and defence forces, so Nationstates think I'm advanced but you guys don't. F̶u̶n̶n̶y̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶s̶
Propose new SA guidelines if you have a better idea
America The Greater, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
I personally think that the scale should end at maybe 200 SA and the maximum technology should be our current era. Technology past our real advancement is kinda just godmodding against godmodding, or it's hard to distinguish what's what.
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
I do think we should probably take some other stats into account when seeing how advanced a nation is
Perhaps, yeah.
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Vordoslavia, Mjau
No matter how much you complain, you arent getting it
Get your SA up, then maybe well talk
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
Advanced in that, but not your SA
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
I disagree
For the past months many nations have worked to get there SA up to be strong
Vordo just cant handle that he didnt realize this earlier
And also this whole rp has been set up to be futuristic
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Mjau
But how do I know when I will advance
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
You look at your SA and compare it with the chart?
Its not that hard to understand
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Vordoslavia
so I have 50 then?
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
Mostly because you are too lazy too put more work in, and thus want to complain to the top
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia, Vordoslavia
not true, just the system is unfair
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
and as SB said
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
consider it
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia
I started from the bottom too
You cant just call the system unfair when your too lazy to even try and get your SA up
Maybe instead of going on a whole campaign, actually try getting it up
Socialistic Britain, Kaidia, Adreabhal
Very well then, the RP is under your control not the people's.
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Kaidia
People have actually contributed more than you think, it was just all a long time ago.
So if somebody doesn't want to grind for SA, that's their problem.
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
Then I have 110 SA points
Kaidia
If I'm correct
Kaidia
Exactly, even.
Socialistic Britain, Sozialistisches Paradies
Yeah of course, I was just saying it's Lemona's decision now and they probably know best
Kaidia
New United Common-Lands This what Mjau said, SB agrees too
I'm just spitballing a hypothetical SA Chart here
This has no thought behind it, purely hypothetical
[Strike]If we wanted to be fair we could probably have nations with 0-50 SA at about early 1800's level technology, 50-100 late 1800's, 100-200 early 1900's
200-300 late 1900's, and then 300-400 modern day technology, 400-500 more advanced stuff and we can keep going from there or end it a little bit early
Actually wait that's just our current SA Chart isn't it?
Sicario Mercenary Corps
I feel that wouldn't work well, considering I have 580 SA, and there are people higher than me, and as lemona pointed out our whole rp stuff is futuristic. We do enjoy our sci-fi
Socialistic Britain
I disagree uwu
Socialistic Britain
(disagrees cutely uwu)
Sicario Mercenary Corps
I think having rudimentary prototype tech of stuff like exo-skeletons and non-kinetic weaponry would be fine for advanced nations but armies of hyper advanced AI laser cannon mechs is perhaps a tad too far
There is a real issue of new nations just kinda being able to be pushed around by the big players and never being able to stand up to them
They can increase their SA by answering issues, sure, but issues get boring after a bit and sometimes just hand you completely made up BS stat decreases
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Mjau
Absolutely agreed. The current system heavily favors bigger nations and it's excluding newer nations from being able to participate in every aspect of the RP. If they can't go to war because the chart says they're fielding a Napoleonic army against a spacefaring civilization, then why bother?
Socialistic Britain, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Yeah I agree, something needs to be balanced.
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain
The only question is how would we go about balancing it, because we need to find a way so that yes strong nations are strong but not too strong and weak nations are of course weak but not too weak
America The Greater, Mjau
Yeah that's a great question which I don't know the answer to lol (not my department! lol)
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps
Because I do agree that the current SA Chart is absolutely in favour of strong and big nations but we don't want whatever SA Chart to replace it end up being useless
America The Greater, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
they arent the first people to realize they have to work a little bit to get up
Socialistic Britain
Yeah, I'm completely for more power to new nations, it's one of my main goals in the development of the government, I'm working on the parliamentary reform bill right now too.
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps
I really don't do RP and am definitely not an expert but maybe the SA stat could reflect in the amount of funding for research and that kind of thing in RP, so it relates to a rate of growth?
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
Honestly, your attitude isn't really helping here. I think there are problems with your system that have nothing to do with laziness. If people need to wait a year and answer issues the same way every time to participate, then they just won't join the RP.
Socialistic Britain, Ardeyn, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
One of the most difficult things is not making it too complex, it has to be easy to determine I guess
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps
I agree, I don't see why nation stats (which take years to develop) should make a difference in a game within the game
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain
then we'd probably have to keep track and write down how much one certain bit of RP advances a nation.
Yeah
America The Greater, Mjau
I would agree with this
yeah, I think my idea may add a little too much complexity - maybe we need a committee to really discuss ways to reform RP?
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
I remember we used to have a point system in the old Tapatalk rp forum but can't remember if it had any system for science
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Mjau
I think that would be a good idea
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain
Definitely, RP will probably have to be reformed one way or another if we want it to be active
America The Greater
Actually, a point system sounds like a good idea
America The Greater, Mjau
I think its important that we do something based off stats(to avoid godmodding), but I do completely agree that it needs to be more accessible to newer nations.
Socialistic Britain, Mjau
In my opinion, making things accessible to new members one of the most important things for the development of our region and an increase in active members.
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Sicario Mercenary Corps
But we do need to respect those that have established themselves for longer
Socialistic Britain, Mjau
I think we should probably have the whole region discussing this to get a good idea of what to do
America The Greater, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
Of course, but to what extent?
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain
Thats a question I do not have an answer for
Socialistic Britain
hooray I'm 322nd worldwide for trout fishing, I genuinely don't know how I did this
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Adreabhal, Mjau
A balance between both of these is best, Respect those who have already built up power for themselves but make it more easy and accessible to new nations.
Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
This is when the exciting discussions happen :)
Socialistic Britain, Mjau
To expand on this, I imagine something like the tech in Fallout
The vast majority is very familiar modern tech but there are a few advancements such as laser and plasma weapons, however they are bulky and unrefined, and strong suits of powered armour that require not only a very certain kind of power cell to function but also a highly trained specialist to wear it
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
Well done! lol
America The Greater, Sicario Mercenary Corps
Side note, I really appreciate your input and initiative, its very refreshing to have the perspective of a slightly more new nation to the region
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Mjau
I agree with this, it's what I try to do with my rp
Socialistic Britain
Thanks, I'm trying to stir things up a bit without upsetting people lol

Parliamentary Reformation Bill
Author: Mjau
The Region That Has No Big Banks:
a. Recognizes that the current parliament system is uninviting to new members of the region and is therefore unproductive. The Region That Has No Big Banks, therefore:
b. Abolishes the party-list proportional representation voting system assigned to Parliament. The replacement is an open Parliament where any member of The Region That Has No Big Banks may join if they wish.
c. Realizes that this would lead to an increase in an increase in the peoples interest in joining parliament. The Region That Has No Big Banks, therefore:
d. Expands the number of seats included in the Parliament from 16 seats to 17 seats, in order for the parliament to best represent the beliefs of all of the people, instead of only those who have been in the government for years, and currently occupy most seats.
Notes, Mjaus Explanation:
Our Parliament is filled with mostly our long-standing members, and even mostly members of the cabinet, including our Prime Minister and our Governor. As much as these are important members of our government process, and they have the most experience, these are the people in our region with the most power. The people with the most power dont best represent all of the beliefs of the people of the region.
-Mjau
Here's the first draft of my bill, please everyone give me your thoughts and recommendations!
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Adreabhal
I really like it - only question is why limit the number of seats?
Socialistic Britain, Mjau
idk lol, I'll change that, good idea
Socialistic Britain
Hey I don't know who to reach out to about this, I guess New United Common-Lands and Yodle but Ohio State Football reached out to me by telegram that he wants TITII to be an embassy of TRTHNBB, don't know why he asked me but, it is what it is
America The Greater, Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps
Unfortunately, they do not meet our embassy requirements
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Gotcha
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
i approve 👍
Vlaskal, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
Not how it works. Advanced could mean many different things. By advanced Im pretty sure it just means that you have a large police force and stuff
I firmly disagree
Heres a suggestion, dont fight the spacefaring civilization with a Napoleonic army. If youre talking about Phydon then he did that to himself. Literally made enemies right out the gate
Mayhaps
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps, Mjau
I see your point
Socialistic Britain, Sicario Mercenary Corps
100% Agree Consider this everybody
America The Greater, Mjau
and pyhdon also godmodded constantly
