Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks

History

I’m back after being afk for like two weeks

New United Common-Lands, Pogba

Just a few days ago a friend of mine sent me a telegram, and it was about how kids are afraid to go to bed because of the spooky cop that will

kidnap them in their sleep in take them to jail. Lmao I died for a few minutes after seeing that.

I'm an absolute GOD at Monopoly, I have extreme skills and epic luck, and not to brag, but I think I might as well be the best Monopoly player on this planet right now.

I just never really understood how to play checkers well, it just always seems like it’s 50/50 whether you win or lose lol, maybe I’m just bad at it

It's just leap frog on a Chess board

Agreed, I once was watching my friends play a round, and it got so heated they had to play 16 more rounds, yes you read that correctly, 16 ROUNDS, and I experienced all of it.

I like all of those games tbh only game I never played is risk

Monopoly was made to demonstrate the disadvantages of capitalism, so I must therefore support it.

(plus its fun)

Yes wasn't it initially called "The Landlords Game" and then someone stole the idea and made it into "Monopoly". How Ironic that it now goes on to make so much money for them.

Yodle, Brendene, Pogba

I've always enjoyed Monopoly. 😊

Risk is pretty cool although I don’t play much because the only person I can play with is my dad and my dad is a god at strategy games

Yeah like I really wish I had that board game because it looks really fun, but my family don't like playing them too much.

Aye, I finally re-re-revived it from the grave! Not as cool as the original man behind it, but to be fair for over half of its existence, prior to originally CTEing, it was as an empty puppet occasional checked up on to build a whopping 80k influence

You can submit issues to be made, sometimes they are accepted.

Go to the bottom of all the issues and click the “Want to write issues for NationStates?” button

I'm not sure how parliament will work atm, because we do have 15 members - Aya Democratic Republic what do you think? we could just add another member not going to make too much difference

But wait that will be an even number and there might be ties in voting. Like 8 people vote for and 8 people vote against. It wouldn’t work

I mean you don't have to add me, it's fine if you don't.

Realistically not everyone votes and that situation is unlikely to happen, so I don’t think Pogba joining is an issue

How would parliamentary elections here work? I mean we can’t base seats geographically.

Like a Party List system. You vote for a party, every party has a list of MPs. ordered in seniority. Similar to the EU elections
