Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
Having any kind of political conversation online is basically pointless, no one changes their minds and the vast vast majority of people seem to have an aversion to nuance.
Its illegal to be in a union in my state and I plan on changing that

August Regional Update
Good afternoon,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to provide you with an update on the recent developments within our region, as well as to share some exciting plans for the near future.
I'm happy to announce that the Interleft has voted in favour of joining the "Jellyfish Elite Fighting Force" (JEFF) a proposal brought to the attention of the InterLeft via the TRTHNBB Government. For those unfamiliar, JEFF is an inter-regional organisation that is essentially a joint faction in NS "Game Created Events" like N-day or Trade's Fair. Id personally like to say, Im very happy that TRTHNBB alongside the InterLeft is joining JEFF, helping to make new bonds and deeper ties with member regions involved, and better organise our NS events. Notably, the next N-day is scheduled for Saturday, September 30th, 2023. Further details about this event will be provided shortly. Special thanks to [nation]Lawid[/nation], our Minister of Foreign Affairs, for their support in making this possible.
Additionally, based on the insights and feedback gathered from the July / August Census results, we've outlined several commitments for our region's future direction. It's evident that our regional RP, community events, and our regional newspaper, "The Social Reformer" have garnered significant popularity. In light of this, you can expect the following initiatives in the upcoming months:
1. A New Regional RP Activity: The development of a brand new Regional RP activity, preferably drawing inspiration bottom-up from the creative ideas of our citizens. If you have suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, [nation]The Washington Federation[/nation] (our Deputy PM), or [nation]Socialistic Britain[/nation] (our Minister of Culture and Arts). Furthermore, we are looking to bring in new RP Admins to manage this new initiative.
2. Monthly Community Games Nights: I'm pleased to announce our commitment to hosting monthly community games nights throughout the remainder of the year. The previous games nights have been enjoyable, featuring a variety of games such as skribbl.io, gartic phone, lichess, and Minecraft. In addition by year-end, we shall also have a TRTHNBB Lore Quiz [U]Two[/U]. If you're interested in assisting with the organistion of future events, please feel free to get in touch your help is greatly appreciated!
3. The Social Reformer Eleventh Edition: The eagerly anticipated Eleventh Edition of "The Social Reformer" is set to release on Friday, September 15th, 2023. Admittedly, this release is slightly delayed from the original TRTHNBB SummerFest deadline of August 20th. However, this delay allows us to include an update on SummerFest in the upcoming edition. If you have articles, artwork, facts, or even jokes you'd like to contribute, please don't hesitate to contact me. The deadline for content submissions is Friday, September 7th.
Thank you for taking the time to read this update.
Warm regards,

An old lady at Publix kept telling me I was her husband and that I should come home. I dont know if I should be honored or scared.
Yodle, New Tyranniaa

You select them as well
It's so you can have continuous RMB scroll instead of having to use pages. It's about the only NS++ feature that actually still fully works.
Idk if that website is still editable, and no one really looks at it
EDIT: I was correct. It doesn't seem to recognise newer nations as, well, existing at all (you log in with your NS nation), presumably the databases or something haven't been updated. Yodle might be able to edit it but idk if anyone else here could.
EDIT 2: Upon closer examination, the most recent thing on the site news page is 2014, and the main page still links to an IRC channel for support.
Gine Caruttiva
"No Nationstates Nation named Gine Caruttiva." :(
yeah im not recognized.....
Somehow the IRC in question still works lmao but me going onto the link resulted in it regenerating the channel so idk when the last post was (I have no idea how to work a system which originally dates back to 1988)
(in case anyone's wondering, IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, which is kinda like Discord's predecessor)

Results from Session I of Parliament
(July 8th, 2023 - July 15th, 2023)
Residents of TRTHNBB,
Apologies for not updating all of you sooner on this. I will provide a summary of the new legislation that is now technically in effect for the region:
On July 15th, 2023, a bill that establishes a Regional Court system for TRTHNBB was passed by Parliament with a 10-0 vote! The bill called 'GL-2 An Act On Regional Court Establishment', sets a generalized framework for adjudicating regional law. The Regional Court will eventually have three lifetime appointed Justices of the Court, or 'Justices' in a shortened form. These Justices must have been a Resident of the region for at least 365 days and must relinquish any currently held executive office upon the start of their lifetime appointment. Alongside this, they are required to have served at least one term in an executive office OR have successfully passed four pieces of legislation in Parliament as an MP, thus ensuring familiarization with the regional government and its various policies and procedures. Ideally, the best candidates for this position are retired government officials from recent administrations, historical figures who are still active in the region, and long-term Residents who have taken an active role in the regional government at some point and are still interested in serving the region in a different capacity.
For Justices to be nominated, the Prime Minister will be tasked with writing up a 'Nomination Act' and presenting it to Parliament. This piece of legislation, which will require a 3/4th majority vote to pass, will outline the nominee's qualifications and why the PM believes they should become a Justice on the Regional Court. The actual format and content of these types of bills will be established with the first Nomination and should reflect it going forward. Judges will be required to abide by a Judicial Code of Conduct, which is not currently written but will be decided upon by the sitting government and the future Chief Justice and can change over time. Pretty straightforward stuff!
So, with the basics covered, what exactly can these Justices do and what are their responsibilities? Well, I'm glad you asked! The power of the Regional Court will be entirely dependent upon the circumstances of the cases that are being reviewed. If the case covers areas that have no existing laws, norms, or precedence, then the Court is limited to only issuing suggestions for both parties. If the case at hand is a charge related to existing regional law, or that is a grey area issue such as moderation appeals, then the Justices are allowed to use the powers granted to them within the confines of the law or measures which are reasonable given the context of the situation. Justices are legally required to address any complaint filed by any current Residents, expatriates, or other parties which have a relevant legal complaint, so any grievances are by default required to get a response from the Regional Court.
With all that being said, once the Regional Court is in a functional state, you will have the right to submit any legal complaints that you wish. If there are any substantive issues present, the case will proceed and will ultimately be resolved with a public statement from the Court. Resources will be made available (once a Justice is nominated) which will assist you in working within the region's legal system :)

SF Poll #29 - Which political issue do you believe requires the most urgent attention: Healthcare, Education, or Climate Change?
https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=203473
Lemona
Climate change definitely because it directly threatens the other two if nothing else
New United Common-Lands
fair comment i'll re-think my answer
Might be unpopular, but i th8nk the issue of the whole LGBTQ+ thing should be resolved dirst, cause its also a social issue.
And i think whats the point of fixing things if no one will enjoy it. Social>the others. Education second
Sicario Mercenary Corps
Thats also kinda education too - educating the population on LGBTQIA+ issues
Sicario Mercenary Corps
whoever is in the WA should read the telegram sent by australia minor. they got a point, also backed that the proposal is by a corporate police state...

Sicario Mercenary Corps, Vordoslavia

Vordoslavia, New Tyranniaa
So its my first day here @ NS as well as TRTHNBB ... have been dealing with various issues and doing some challenges. Just voted in the poll and wondering what do i do now !?

Welcome to the region
This is a good guide if you are new to NationStates;
Hope this helps, if you have any specific questions let me know.

weird
New Tyranniaa
In Vordoslavia citizens must have a license to operate a computer.
Not what I hoped to do
New Tyranniaa
Democrats are just going to 'miscount' the votes and somehow still win, otherwise, Trump would have won the 2020 election
New Tyranniaa
I don't like Trump or Biden and hope both decide to end their campaigns. If it's Trump vs Biden I think Trump squeaks a win out but after that other than Ron Desantis I don't think any other GOP candidate has enough support to defeat Biden. Biden isn't polling very high within his own party and the GOP is divided between candidates which could hurt them in the election.

Soyuz is too dead for me and I couldn't see a way to solve it, so I moved somewhere more active, here

You could make factbooks about your country, as well as join our Discord for some events, while also interacting here in the RMB

Who would be interested in me making a guide of how to get all the Easter Egg issues?
If youre unfamiliar, theres around 18ish of them and every time you find the issues and answer them, it adds onto the Easter Egg badge (check out my nation to see what I mean)
The Washington Federation, New Tyranniaa
