Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
I wish there was a feature for war. Like I wish the war had some physics to it I suppose, where people would die, cities destroyed, and money was spent. I believe that would bring diversity to the game
well you can always rp war, besides it would be abused hella fast.
Nations with the populations of billions would overun smaller guys and make it harder for them.

and wars... it's so uncool!

Well maybe a system where only regions with around the same population or they have to agree to a war. This is not real life it is a game, maybe you don't loose anything at all. I think it would be a fun little, rather big, addition to the game.
Also roleplaying war is not very fun in my opinion, however, some people really do enjoy it. I am not one of those people.
well i understand where youre comming from and don't get me wrong it would be fun, but that would first take a lot of coding and there isnt a profecional team behind this site. Besides it would make it a hell on earth for the servers that NS uses to calcualte all the wars and stuff, there are days when NS crashes for hours and now imagine that but on a bigger scale.
Also for the servers and coding the mechanics all that would take money and i doubt that Max even through the add revenue from this site and him selling books is enough.
Hypotallia
it really depends with who and how you do it, i have with my other accounts rpied wars alot, some where damn boring and others really interesting.
True, but there are pre-coded apps you can use.
well its up to daddy Max if that mechanic will be added and judging by the age of this site i doubt it will even happen.
theres this game siumular to nations states called Politics and War, i think it has the mechanic you are looking for but i hear it takes 2 irl years for your nation to even stand a chance economicaly and militaraly
Hypotallia
Yes but I cannot use discord which makes it kinda hard to roleplay. I have coded things like wars before on a game, it does take some time but it really isn't to horrid as long as you know what you're doing. This game also started out as a fun little side task which escalated into a full-scale game.
Leidenschadt
well maybe i'll check that out sometime, 2 years is a lot lol
well i dont use discord for rp, i tend to avoid any region that forces its memebers to use it, i was a RMB dveler through and through
I didn't expect from myself, that I legalize weapons, lol.

Hi
New United Common-Lands
The Empire of Tanrog is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26 million Tanrogians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Tanrogian economy, worth 1.40 trillion Rokermags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 53,655 Rokermags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, both vegetables and viruses are often smuggled across the border, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Tanrog's national animal is the Death, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tanrog is ranked 68,201st in the world and 84th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,027.85 on the Societal Mobility Rating.

he Dictatorship of Sahang Empire is a fledgling, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 5 million Sahang Empireans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The weak Sahang Empirean economy, worth 141 billion Sahangs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,227 Sahangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Sahang Empire City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sahang Empire's national animal is the Lion.
Sahang Empire is ranked 130,837th in the world and 154th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 725.61 on the Societal Mobility Rating.

So apparently deciding not to ban image manipulation and not to censor nudity (even if fake) on the web means less civil rights.. makes sense :P

Major Regional Announcement
3/16/22
Good evening everyone,
Cast in the fires and chaos of multiple raids against us and ultimately losing our original region of The Place That Has No Big Banks via a refound from the defunct raider group Hydra Command (TPTHNBB in safe hands today and has been for quite some time), the WA Delegacy of The Region That Has No Big Banks has been a monolith of stability, with a trusted native at the helm to be a Guardian to the region in the case of Yodle, the nation, Ceasing to Exist (CTEing), which would mirror the same catalyst that forced the community to move to our current home. In order to avoid this situation ever occurring again, the hope was that if this were to hypothetically happen, a long-term, experienced, and trusted native to the region could swiftly implement measures to safeguard the region from outside invaders. This worked with Bernie Nation up until about 2 and half years ago when the steward of the account stopped playing, Bernie Nation (now a puppet of mine), CTEÂ’d, and basically left an open power vacuum for the Delegacy.
I, as Founder, took control of the Delegacy after a Regional Record of 1107 days under Bernie NationÂ’s watch. The reason for my doing so was that at the time, I simply didnÂ’t have a person who would be the right fit in terms of competency, proven dedication to the community/region, and consistency in terms of activity and presence. Given these circumstances, I simply took over the role myself to hold it for when I did find that person who could be our next Bernie Nation, figuratively speaking of course, since no one can replace the iconic individual behind the historical nation.
Well, I am very excited this evening to announce that I believe I have found the right person for the job and that I am now ready to retire from my role as WA Delegate to this wonderful region that we all call home and hand off the role to a worthy candidate. IÂ’ll still be just as active, especially in the realm of World Assembly Affairs, the only difference here being that a true native and leader in the region will get the necessary experience and influence growth to one day safeguard the region if my nation ever CTEs, especially a native which I personally trust to take over if the time came. I have thought about this for some time and I have decided to democratize the process since thereÂ’s no current legal standardization on the process of appointments to WA Delegate, as far as I can remember. While Parliament would be a natural place to hold a vote for this, ultimately what determines the power of a delegate are the World Assembly nations themselves, not to mention that Parliament currently lacks the infrastructure and participation rate to make this vote truly democratic. With that being said, I will host the confirmation vote on the Regional Poll for a week and isolate it to only nations which play a direct role in the process of WA Delegates coming to power in the first place.
With the premise to this announcement fully established, I hereby appoint New United Common-Lands to the position of WA Delegate, and will put the appointment up to vote for the WA Nations of the region to confirm or deny the appointment.
As you are all likely already aware, New United Common-Lands is our currently serving Deputy Prime Minister. But what you may not be aware of is that he is also the primary author and coordinator of the revived The Social Reformer, the coordinator of the last election, which essentially jumpstarted the Regional Government back to life from a deep slumber, and is heavily invested in serving a major role in the actual implementation of ideas and projects that the Regional Government comes up with. You might not think thatÂ’s not as foundationally important as other traits, but speaking as the person who solely created all of the BBCode for the region and who has acted as the sole implementor of on-site and Discord-side changes, I can confidently say that New United Common-lands has both the drive and skillset needed to be a replacement for my current role. After all, that is what the WA Delegate was always meant to be in this region, a Guardian-like role for the region that can keep it alive and active in a worst-case scenario where all the responsibility of the Founder role is suddenly now their responsibility.
If the appointment of New United Common-Lands is successful, the transition process will immediately begin, wherein all WA Nations will be heavily encouraged to grant the endorsements necessary to complete the transfer of WA Delegacy within a set number of days, and if that threshold isnÂ’t reached in that time, I will resign from the World Assembly temporarily to ensure the transition is fulfilled. If the appointment is not confirmed, I will simply remain WA Delegate until a suitable candidate surfaces once again.
I highly encourage all WA Nations to vote in the poll since your input is what matters more than anything else in this confirmation. Thank you to those that read the whole thing, didnÂ’t expect this to be this long lol.

I highly support YodleÂ’s choice of New United Common-Lands, he has done an amazing job.
Yodle, New United Common-Lands, Mars Hotel, Vlaskal, Triangola, Catopes
Thanks Yodle for the kind words and endorsement, and if other nations are equally in agreement then I will be very happy to take up the role and represent the region as WA delegate, but I wonÂ’t pre-empt the outcomes of the poll!
Yodle, Mars Hotel, Triangola, Catopes
Why would anyone vote against that =D? I fully support that decision and I wish you well in your retirement
Yodle, Mars Hotel, Vlaskal, Triangola
Yes! We wish Yodle all the best in retirement from the role. And thanks to him for taking the lead of the region over the past years. Simply put we would all not be here without Yodle :)!
Yodle, Santu Surgo, Mars Hotel, Vlaskal, Former Argentina, Lemona, Konigsberg Oblast, Catopes
Congrats Common-lands. Does this mean the SAP is movin up in the region ;). Also, be well Yodle in your retirement. Thank you for that recruitment telegram you sent out that made me join this region nearly two years ago
Yodle, New United Common-Lands
While do of trusting New United Common-Lands, I am kinda wondering what the future is gonna be like with him as delegate. (I hopings is very epics)
Yodle, Triangola
I can definitely get behind Nucl's succession to the delegacy! They have my vote 👍
Yodle, New United Common-Lands, Lemona, Peanteom
Uh Aya Democratic Republic you might wanna update the parliament cuz I vote for the sports bill. Is of making environment better because humans get tired and no have time for chop chop
Yodle
New United Common-Lands and I vote for as well
Also, when's the deadline?
New United Common-Lands
My device is messed up for some reason it shows most voting against New United Common-Lands being the delegate while clearly most are voting for it. I vote for and it shows my vote on against but also on for. No worries is just my device it has some problems rn
That's just how it looks on mobile
The text in the polls sorta meld together it's normal
Lemona
Okay but has never happened before with me phone. Thsi is no new phone either
eh the mobile style is probably just being glitchy
Lemona
Hey Socialistic Britain if you ever make my polandball in a comic plz make it like reichtangle cuz me nation flag is inspired slightly by imperial german and old Austrian Empire and I am like Spanish imperial Germany in me lore except for thy whole world war success thing
Vlaskal, Triangola
Stupid healthy people stopped me nations children from selling lemonade.

Vlaskal
*le gasp* how dare they stop children from selling their concoction that is very delicious and has probably been freshly made two weeks ago, I applaud you for stopping their barbaric acts. *jumps off the window from the 15th floor of a burning building*
Yodle, Lemona
Reichtangle sometimes is the German Empire, but it is usually supposed to represent a successor to Nazi Germany, German Empire is usually represented by a normal ball.
Lemona
weird, when I see it is as representing German empire
eh is still many epics with lemona being new spain empire. Not fourth but still.

What type of things would you like to be involved in?

Why did the founder of trovons come to our region momentarily 😂
Personally I asked the question the other day, the RP is on the official forum? I applied to join the DSP party, but I don't even know how to participate.
