Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
i never knew there was a forum either
Osem
hrm.
I think I have a policy idea.
Yeah It Would Just Be Everyone Interrupting Each Other Like A Certain Debate

Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland, Osem
Considering how old he is, I find that considerably unlikely...
... on the bright side, we have AOC!
Yeah She Will Be Available To Run By A Month In 2024
Osem
What about the Luxemburg Union? Or the Luxumburgist Union of Syndicalism?

You've also got Lizzy Warren.
I mean...
she'd still qualify, right?
I have trust issues with her.
Yeah But Close.
She Was Born In October 1989 Which Means She Is 31 Right Now Which Means When The Election Comes In November Shed Be 35 Old Enough To Run But By 1 Month Because She Was Born In October.
Osem
Wdym? She Seems Quite Good.
Osem
I want to avoid having the terms Syndicalist or Luxemburgist in the name, because even though I do wish to espouse those ideologies, I still want to appeal to a larger base. Even though I'll probably make syndicalism & co. official ideologies of the party, I do still want to encourage some other people to join. But who knows, maybe in the end I'll cave in.
Afterall, The Syndics' Union has a catch to it that I like.
Ardeyn
I agree with many of her policies, but it's more of a record thing. She seemed perfectly content on splitting the progressive vote during the primaries and handing it over to neoliberalism.
But I guess, in the end, I wouldn't mind a Warren candidacy. I just like Bernie more.
The constitution says that the President must be 35 years of age at the minimum, but does it say anything about Candidates?
Yeah I feel that
It was hard for me to stick with the name The Science Team because I felt it would leave the wrong impression on first glance. But now Im pretty much fine with it since I couldnt see any better name for a scientocratic party
Osem
I actually quite like the name "Science Team". Feels a bit more unique as it isn't just "[Insert Ideology] Party".
Ardeyn
Why thank you

Anyone know a good website for designing a flag?

What're your guys thoughts on the current poll? It seems like it's between a 3 month and a 6-month term length at the moment
Osem
Haven't you ruled for 4 years now?
Oh Yeah......
Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland
Umm Actually 1 Year
Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland, Osem
Yeah

WA Delegate position hasn't really been a position of power per se, it was originally held by Bernie Nation for like 1100 days or something crazy like that as a backup if my nation ever got deleted or I somehow went inactive since he was one of the OG members of TRTHNBB and had the highest influence stat in the region. After his region ceased to exist I just took up the spot cuz I got really obsessed with WA stats and the easiest way to influence the WA stats in a region is to be the delegate haha (speaking of which, I'm thinking of bringing back the Endotarting Program soon!)
Santu Surgo, Osem
Giving away the game I see, but basically yes LOL Although I see it as more of a personal project in how communities form organically and it certainly has grown into its own being I'd say, with or without me present
But because I have an interest in the formation of a good democratic system I like to hand over control if people are interested in governing
Santu Surgo, Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland, Osem
So In 14 Days Youll Be Elected Lol
Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland, Osem
Honestly, my best advice in the realm of flag-making is to experiment with Microsoft Paint or a free photo editing software (if you're on a computer, whether it be a laptop or a desktop), it has a big learning curve but you can learn to take random photos and make them look legit on a flag
Osem
Flagmaker jr is pretty good.
Funnily enough, I've been a kind of de facto Secretary of State/Foreign Minister since I tend to be the sole outreach to other regions via personal connections with other founders and government officials, but I definitely want to see people get more involved so whoever runs and gets elected (looking more like you honestly LOL) I will show the ropes
Osem
I Just Used Pages Using Shapes On My iPad lol (Basically The Equivalent Of Using The Shapes In Word To Make A Flag)
Osem
So Your Founder, WA Delegate, And Secretary Of State 😂
Osem
iPad photo editing programs can be super effective as well, I've seen some really good stuff made from an iPad
Osem
I just wish I knew how to make some swallow-tail flags.
In the absence of an official Regional Government, I'm basically everything, at least until you started doing some good work helping to revive the region lmaoooo
Osem
Just make a flag with white (or really any other color) as the nonexistent part and go here > https://imageresizer.com/transparent-background
Osem
This will come in very useful.
So Your Also The Secretary Of Treasury, Secretary Of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary Of Interior, Secretary Of Agriculture, Secretary Of Commerce, Secretary Of Labor, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, Secretary Of Housing And Urban Development, Secretary Of Transportation, Secretary Of Energy, Secretary Of Education, Secretary Of Veterans Affairs, & The Secretary Of Homeland Security.
Yodle
They say one man cant rule alone, and theyd be right because I can only kind of rule alone and not for very long because you get so worn out 😂😂😂😂
😂
Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland
I finally crossed into the 1% range for influence stat!
Peoples Republic Of Peepeeland
Ooh! Im Not 1% In Anything....
Youll get there, you just gotta answer issues consistently and aiming for certain stats
Ok!
I Just Realized This
My Nation Is 184 Days Old. I Have 11,846 Influence Points. When You Were 184 Days Old You Had 1,242 Influence Points. So If Our Nations Are Borned On The Same Day Id Have 10 Times The Influence Of You 😂
Regionally, i'm top 1% for defense forces, arms manufacturing, and weaponization. Not globally though.
You've seen nothing, the Washington Federation is 169 days old, and I am the 4th most influential nation in the region. If I was born at the same time as Yodle, I'd have passed them up by a long shot by now.
If you are wondering, I have 12,788 influence points. (My influence level is currently Envoy)
Yodle
The success of the Endotarting Program as shown by this!!
New United Common-Lands, The Washington Federation
So successful that we should update it sometime.
Yodle
I'll probably give it an update tonight I think, we have a lot less WA nations now so it should be much simpler
Yeah, it probably should. At least we possibly have a consistent number of members now.
Yodle
I've been having the API (an automated program that sends out a recruitment telegram every 3 minutes) for the past two weeks straight and it's definitely doing its job where we're consistently rising in population
The Washington Federation
It's definitely doing some work, but I don't know if we will get back that peak of 400 or so members.
Yodle
Yeah that probably won't happen again for a very long time, that was a mix of the huge Drewpocalypse explosion and me buying a lot of telegram stamps to maximize how many people we got from it, and we actually did so well in recruitment from that, that we got mentioned on the NS Forums lmao
Santu Surgo
That there is an honor to receive!
Yodle
8701 endorsing points here.
I used to use a swallowtail flag for Ardeyn
https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=487708&p=37327440&hilit=Trthnbb#p37327440 We scored highest of all regions in terms of percentage gained during the initial Drew surge and even after we lost some in June during the huge CTEs, so we got mentioned like 2-3 times! Interesting read
Since I pushed so hard on the WA Statistics, it just so happens that he was rating everything based on the Delegates endorsements so we had a massive showing
Unless Drew Durnil Or Another YouTuber Causes Another Apocalypse We Wont Reach 400 Nations Anytime Soon...
What if we asked a youtuber to make an NS related video? Stupid idea but might work.
Might work actually really well!

i was like top #1820 worldwide for income equality until i accidentally made my nation capitalist :( its socialist again but the damage is done...
Fernandosia
Ik how u feel
America the greater ceased to exist. :/
Oh My God! Hope He Comes Back Again.
Wait A Minute? Site Supporter? I Expected It To Say That America The Greaters Name Is Reserved Because The Nation Has Significant Size. What Does Site Supporter Mean?
Bernie Nation was a officer but he has Significant Size instead of Site Supporter
Just thought Id let everyone know that the science team will no longer be abbreviated to STP, but TST instead (The Science Team) Ive also changed up the logo to be Bernie Sanders as the Vitruvian Man but thats not as significant
Sorry Aya Democratic Republic for making you have to edit all the factbooks that feature the STP
Its Ok! Ill Do It Later
