Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
Welcome, Stans.
Yodle
I started as a capitalist nation but trying to change that. How do I answer issues? I answered some and now people are licking rabbits to get high and I'm scared of what might happen next :(
Sarrepont, The Aka
Depends on what you want to change into. But in general, pick options that give the government more control over the economy and society.
Sarrepont
How do you keep weird things from happening though?

OOC : New flag and a new factbook !
You don't. No matter what you choose, the results (or the description to be exact) will be rather weird and extreme. This is a game after all and that's the humor of it. You don't have to buy it and can imagine your own result. What matters is the changes in various stats under the description.
Isn't that the fun in it? ;)
Mavinet
It's been my favorite part so far!
Endorse me bitches
Gotta join the WA before we can do that :P
Important Announcements & Reminders
Residents,
I would like to welcome all of our new arrivals over the past week or so! We're glad to have you join us in our great region 😁 We've seen a lot of new people join the WA and our Discord, but the vast majority have not done so yet. Here are the two most important things you can do to get involved in the region:
Join our Discord Server
Joining Discord is really easy if you are on a mobile device and/or computer! If you're on a phone/tablet, you can simply download the app, and if you're on a computer you can either use it directly through the browser or by downloading the program. All you gotta do is click the Discord invite link, and go from there! Our Discord is where we hold all of our conversations and where anything Regional Government-related happens. It's imperative that you join up if you want to stay tuned into regional happenings and if you want to fully become a part of our vibrant community and culture!
We want to get to know you, so come join us!
Discord Link to Join: https://discord.gg/yttMps2
Join the World Assembly & Endorse Bernie Nation
The World Assembly is the site-wide legislature, but by joining you not only help secure our region from the potential of attacks in the future, you also help build our regional power and influence on the world stage! In order to join, first you must go to your settings page (https://www.nationstates.net/page=settings) and set an e-mail address which you can access. Then once you've set your e-mail address, you should go to the World Assembly page (https://www.nationstates.net/page=un) and click the "Apply" button. The e-mail address you set will be sent a confirmation e-mail about joining the World Assembly, to which you should click on the link in the message and confirm your WA Membership. If you don't see the confirmation e-mail at first, make sure to check your spam mail in case it got placed in there.
Once you're officially a WA Member, now you can complete the second portion. All WA Members within the region should be endorsing our WA Delegate, Bernie Nation. By endorsing the WA Delegate, you ensure the security of our region in case the Founder nations CTEs, and you make our delegate vote in the World Assembly more powerful and influential. In order to endorse Bernie Nation, all you have to do is click on his name in this telegram (which will link you to his nation page), scroll all the way down, and hit the "Endorse" button. Once you've done this, you're all done! If you want to go the extra mile and help out the region even more, feel free to check out our WA Endotarting Program https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=852289
Announcements
We have two important announcements for you today! Our first announcement is that the Session XIII Results will be released tonight in another mass telegram. Due to mid-terms happening in recent days, we have had to postpone the results of the session. But no longer! We will be releasing all of the vote counts, as well as relevant statistics from The Social Reformer poll that was put after the Session in the Google Forms poll, so stay tuned for that!
Our second announcement is that our Election Season is right around the corner, with elections being held in mid-November. The two elections will be our Presidential Election and our Parliament Session, with the Presidential Election coming first in the month per tradition. If you are interested in running for either elected position, please telegram me and I will help you get ready for announcing your candidacy and preparing a platform. Google Forms for announcing candidacies for each position will be released sometime in the next week before November 1st, and people will have two weeks to present a platform and announce their candidacy.
Got any questions or need something explained? Send me a telegram or DM me on Discord with your inquiries and I will get back to you as quickly as I can!
Thanks for reading and there will be more to come,
Vice President
Yippee yearly zombie crap.
Ansuriel, Yodle, America The Greater, Qin China, I Just Noticed This One Thing
There isn't a ONE way on keeping weird things at bay. NS is weird by concept: it is here to give you an exhaggerated portrait of real nations.
(you can always cheat by using NSindex, where all issues and answers and effects are described, but I said nothing... :) )
I Just Noticed This One Thing
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Forest has asked me as a former member of your glorious region to become an ambassador here. I accepted but I ask for this regional government to officialy endorse that appointment. As for Z-day. Forest has made new plans to assure a highest survival rate as possible. We might ask for your help but the enthusiasm in TRTHNBB for Z-day is usually limited so we are not expecting too much. Nonetheless we will help friendly regions and allies but it will be on request so the borders might get closed to avoid being overrun. Refugees from other regions will be accepted on a piecemeal basis. "Vacationing" in Forest during the Z-day crisis is also possible and even encouraged to strenghten the bonds between the various regions. So if anyone is interested let me know.

This guy is in a frat. :D
Well try and pull together an effort from the Regional Government again this year! Last year we were only working with 50ish nations so it should be interesting this time around

Let him stay to spite him, but block his posts please.
Also, fool, you can just move there.
Qin China
Believe me, TRTHNBB is proud of our Z-Day performance. We made it high on the leaderboard last year, well try to scale it up this time around. As for the ambassador position, I recommend you contact us on our Discord, where the cabinet can contact you more easily.

Godspeed, everyone.

Emergency Announcement
Residents,
Our region has been overrun by zombies! It is imperative that you begin research for a cure ASAP, which you can do on this page: https://www.nationstates.net/page=zombie_control
It is also extremely important that you join us on our Discord Server to help coordinate curing the zombie hordes! You can join our Discord via this link: https://discord.gg/yttMps2
It's up to you to save this region from being wiped out! Join us today in taking back what's ours! Also, anyone caught helping the zombie hordes will be temporarily kicked from the region to ensure we finish our mission. All who are ejected may come back as soon as the event is over :D
- Yodle
Thank God we live in such enlightened times
As a citizen, you have voting privileges in our Parliament. Not sure what you mean by "boost me".
Yodle, Sarrepont
Thanks everyone for showing up and helping out with our second Z-Day! Let's save the world.
Yodle
Isn't it a little insane to kick someone from the region if helping the zombies is helping their specific nation?
Forest has the Zombie outbreak (almost) under control. We will soon be opening our borders to help cure allies!! If there are nations here that would be interested in that kind of help let me know....so I can push some paperwork around to get them to the front of the line ;-)
Anyone can kindly pop a few cures my way? Thanks :)
Forest border is open for now
If anyone needs cures, please feel free to contact me. We have to look out for each other.
Someone pls cure me
Ansuriel
Don't worry, help is on the way
He sent a horde at me don't bother for now
One more horde and it's not happening
I could use some assistance as well, please.
Yodle
Half the country has zombified! Please send help!
Yodle
Cured!
Social Democratic Commonwealth, Mavinet
Thank you guys!
To the leader of Republic Of Penguinian Astronautia ; how about asking before killing some hundreds of millions of someone else's nation?
Yodle
The region has been cleared of zombies! Thank you everyone for participation this Z-Day and all of the work you put in to make sure we cleared the region of the zombie menace! I will try to credit everyone, but if I miss anyone please let me know and I will make sure to edit this post.
A big thanks to the following individuals for their help, both small and significant (in no particular order):
Social Democratic Commonwealth
Republic Of Penguinian Astronautia
I would like to especially give credit to the following individuals for their consistent support and efforts on Discord and on the ground in making this happen (in no particular order):
An operation like this takes time and effort, and all of these individuals helped to make it happen. Thanks to everyone involved, we made it onto the top 100 for Most Survivors and Most Survivors + No Infected this year! This level of teamwork makes me confident that next year we can do even better with an even bigger population.
- Yodle
Update: We got 47th in the Survivors + No Infected rank and 65th in the Survivors rank!

First event I took part in, happy I could help. next year I will have a bigger impact and help more
Ansuriel, Yodle, America The Greater, Sarrepont, Mavinet, Miltondom
Starting tomorrow the region will return to its normal functioning!
Thanks to all who cured my oldie, I am sorry I wasn't in the right mood to partecipate to this yearly Z-day.
Yodle, America The Greater
The region of Forest likes to congratulate "The Region That Has No Big Banks" with its performance during Z-day this year and its ranking on both the "Survivors" and "Survivors + No Infected" leaderboard. We are glad to see your ambitions towards an even better performance next year. The region of Forest is dedicated in helping you achieve those ambitions anyway we can. We are thinking about deploying "mobile cure teams" in friendly regions or accepting "infected friendly foreign nations" into our borders for deinfectation. If this region has any suggestions we will gladly hear them and if possible work them into our plans for next year. But first pop some bubbles on making it through.......
Yodle, Sarrepont
We would love to work with you guys on plans for next year's Z-Day! We can discuss more ideas on Discord :D

Session XIII Results
Hey folks,
So finally I've been able to get around to posting the results for Session XIII. These results will only cover the Parliament portion of the Voting Poll, with the survey being covered in the next edition of The Social Reformer. We had 19 participants, 12 of which were normal MPs, 5 of which were Cabinet Members, and 2 of which were High Judges. High Judge votes don't count due to precedent and lack of regulation on the matter at the time of the vote, so therefore they will not be included in the final results. We had 8 first time voters and 11 voters who have voted in prior Parliament Sessions. Political Parties have been removed from all further Parliament Sessions until proper reform can be done to have them reflect regional issues, so that question was not included in the Session as it has before. Here were the results of the two votes that were on the floor:
GL-5: Criminal Law Act
Yea - 11 Votes (73.3%)
Nay - 4 Votes (26.7%)
Abstain - 2 Votes
PASSES with a 73.3% majority!
Confirmation of Texan Soviets to the Council on Parliamentary Regulation (CPR)
Yea - 11 Votes (84.6%)
Nay - 2 Votes (15.4%)
Abstain - 4 Votes
Texan Soviets is Confirmed with a 84.6% majority!
The Regional Law factbook will be updated with the new legislation from last time and this time around sometime tonight! Thank you to everyone who participated and get ready for another Parliament Session this weekend! We will only have Confirmation Votes this next Session, so nothing too fancy.

Hi!
Texan Soviets
It can touch ground though, can't it?
Yodle, Texan Soviets, Theenterprise
Yep, but not a lot of it.
How about having a spot somewhere on the map acting as a depot and put your diplomatic representatives there?

Parliament Session XIV
Residents,
This week will be our Session XIV Voting period! This time around it will just be Council on Parliamentary Regulation appointment confirmations, so nothing too crazy. After this session of Parliament, assuming all appointments are confirmed, we will have our full Council in place and we will be able to go forth with new regulations and rules! I ask that all nations, whether new to the region or long-term members, vote on this Session.
Here is the link to the Voting Poll which will last three days: https://goo.gl/forms/h5rn3Oikbu5CfDbR2
We've got Election Season coming up, so more to come on that!

How do you feel about 2017 special elections? Do you think a blue wave is coming in 2018? All I know is as the results came in, it got me more excited for 2018, and 2020.
Bernie 2020
Yodle, Theenterprise, Copir
I am very happy that mainly, the Democrats swept that election. I think the American people are now more aware of what the Republicans truly mean to do with their power in the government, and more people will decide to go with Democrats for the greater good of the country. The next president will be a Democrat, I'm almost sure of it.
Petroslovania, Theenterprise
This election shows that Trump is in for a lot of madness when he loses Congress in 2018. I live in NJ and I could not be happier with the new governor in charge.
Yodle, Theenterprise
I agree with what everyone's said. I also hope we get good progressive Democratic candidates in the midterms and next Presidential election (the fact that the guy who won in NJ worked at Goldman Sachs isn't the best sign) and that a moderate Republican challenges Trump for the Republican nomination.

There seems to be a lot of socialists in this region. Where are the center leftists at?
Oldmanzakk, Ansuriel
We've got diversity, people just aren't always as active. Start some discussions, you can find out.
Well I was thinking about trying to create a center left political party in this region.
Theenterprise
We're actually trying to revamp our party system and make them more regional-issues-centered than actual political views. But we're still open for discussion and debate.

I mean, I prefer communism, but if not communism than the right is better than the left.
What happened to Socialist polish state?
looks like it's on the blacklist of the Moderators
Yodle, Petroslovania, Mavinet, Theenterprise
What did s/he do?
Not sure, we'd have to find out what their original nation was called first

Hey RegionFam if you're wanting land on the map check either list on the page if you're nation name isnt on the bottom list then that means I have not received a message from you and are not working on adding it.
