Region: The Region That Has No Big Banks
Yeah Because Its Associated With Authoritarian Communism For Some Reason?
Actually Republic Basically Means Everything The Most Used Definition Of Republic Is Literally Just A Country Thats Not A Monarchy.
Yeah, there's not much nuance there. I'm gonna get some sleep now, but TG me or write here and I will get back to you tomorrow. Thanks for talking about the region, hopefully we can work towards a solution very very soon.
Ok Bye!!
Wlcm back America ...u always gives me heart attack by cteing at the wrong time ....plz don't do it next time it is only u who can handle the region after yodle ....we actually had a civil war in this region so pls don't do it next time
Well, Max Berry himself is Australian. So I'd wager he chose that flag to be patriotic
I'm sorry for leaving you guys without leadership, I stepped back after I saw Yodle come back to help out, figuring I wasn't needed anymore. From now on I'll be here if you guys need me. Also, could you explain the civil war to me? I hadn't heard of it.
So guys, I'd like to give you a little summary of what we're going to try to do for the region. I'm really glad to see that many of you are still active in the region, and I want to support that however I can. Some concrete steps we need to take are 1. reinstating the endotarting program and 2. recruiting nations for the region. I'm starting college in a few days, but I am going to work on this because all of you deserve a region with real opportunities for RP, conversation, debates, and generally a full NS experience. Let me know if you have more ideas. Discord is always a good option to contact me because I get notifications on my phone, but whatever works best for you guys will work too :)

Seems Logical

281 - End Of Civil War
Im Gonna Read The TRTHNBB Constitution And Ill Post The Articles And Ill Make My Critiques And Suggestions About Them So We Can Try Fixing It.
Article I General Provisions
I. The Region That Has No Big Banks, shall be called TRTHNBB or its full name
II. TRTHNBB shall promote the agenda and ideology of Bernie Sanders, and shall consist of any nation who shares a support for Sanders or an absence of large banks
III. All records and written documentation of events within this region will be available publically either on the Discord, on The Social Reformer, or on the regions Official Page in NationStates.
IV. The Region That Has No Big Banks does not discriminate on the basis of political ideology, religion, national heritage, or economic status in any of its policies, procedures, or practices.
V. Citizens is any resident with both a NationStates account and Discord account, citizens may run for any office and partake in the Jury and Senate
VI. Residents is anyone with just a NationStates account, residents may not run for office, however they may vote
Bold = Suggests Fixing
Italics = Confusing
So I Personally Think Not Having Discord Should Ban Someone From Running. I Think Having Discord Would Help Them Run But Still It Shouldnt Be A Requiremenr
The 2 Italic Sentences Are Confusing Because They Both Are Saying 2 Opposite Things. Is It A Inbetween? If It Is A Inbetween Where Is It? Its Too Vague
Just Finished The First Article!
Article II Purpose
I. To establish a Regional Government to propose regional laws, represent the nations of the region, and enforce enacted laws.
II. To promote the ideology of Bernie Sanders and create a region of like-minded nations.
III. To bring together Bernie Sanders supporters throughout NationStates and establish a government with ideas and policies inspired by his message.
Same As Before. Rule I & III In Article II Go Against Rule II In Article II And Rule IV In Article I.
Hello?
Give me some time to respond please, I'm doing other stuff at the same time. I agree on Article I, I think we didn't review it enough and the true purpose of the second line got a little distorted. The point you make about Discord makes sense too, it used to be the hub for everything to do with NS in the region but it seems that people are less inclined to use it now.
In terms of Article 2, I disagree that section I conflicts with any previously-established law. Section I simply states that our region will establish a government- nowhere is that conflicted. I agree that we should clarify on sections II and III of Article II, however.
Ok! Hope Your Still There.
America The Greater
Yay Your Still Here!
Yeah, looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts
Ok Time For Article III!!
Article III Organization
The Regional Government
The regional government shall consist of the following offices in order of succession.
Prime Minister
Deputy Minister
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Minister of Domestic Affairs
Minister of Homeland Security
Presiding Juror
Founder
The regional government shall consist of three separate branches, each tasked with different functions.
The Executive Branch- Consists of the Council of Ministers, and the Founder. The Executive branch shall enforce the laws and manage the region.
The Legislative Branch- Consists of the Senate, the Senate will contain every legal citizen who wishes to be in Senate the Senate shall be headed by the Deputy Minister
The Judicial Branch- Consists of the Jury, the Jury will interpret if laws made by the other branches are fair. Alongside this the Jury will be incharge of determining innocence or guilt in legal cases. The Jury shall be headed by the Presiding Juror.
The three branches of government together shall contain an internal set of checks and balances to ensure one never is more powerful than the others.
The Executive Branch- The Prime Minister may veto legislation from Senate, nominate the Presiding Juror, and utilize Executive Orders or Ministerial Orders to fill in policy gaps in Regional Legislation, so long as they receive a ⅔ approval by Senate afterwards.
The Legislative Branch - The Senate must approve all of the nominations by the Prime Minister, while also being able to outvote the Prime Ministers veto with a ⅔ majority vote in favor.
The Judicial Branch- The Grand Juror may deem legislation or Ministerial/Executive Orders as unlawful. The Grand Juror may make revisions and present it back to the Senate. The Jury may determine the actions or policies of regional officials as unconstitutional, leading to the suspension from their position, permanent impeachment, or in extreme cases ejection from both Discord and the region.
Underline = Forgotten Or Who Has Held That Office Has CTE
There Isnt Much I Can Put Here Just A Lot Of Forgettable & CTE Stuff.
This is the classic structure. When we were running elections that were consistent and had plenty of active members, this system was used exactly as it is written. With more activity, this is a system that could be re-established.
I Know I Didnt Want All Of These To Go Away Just Wanted A Revamp And More Active Government.
Yeah, I'm just giving you my personal take on the articles as we go down the list and discuss them.
Wanna Just Talk Now?
What do you mean?
Just Like Talk About Stuff Sorry For Being Gone For A While.
No problem. What's on your mind?
Hmm Hey Just Wonderin Do You Ever Think Of Redesigning Your Flag?
Not really, it's been this way for years and I think changing it would be weird after so long. It symbolizes ATG to me. I actually had a first flag design that was pretty awful, lol. Why do you ask?
Just Wonderin Also What Does The Stuff In Your Flag Mean?
It's been a while since I made it so I'm gonna go off what I kinda remember. The purple to me symbolized the coming-together of red and blue, because my ideal for playing NS in general was that it would be a place for open and honest discussion, regardless of a person's beliefs. The white was just because it looked nice as a counter to the purple, lol. All of it meeting in the middle at the star symbolized the ideal that these varying beliefs and people would meet in ATG to discuss and work together. I thought that was pretty cool when I was about 15. What about your flag?
The Meaning Of My Flag Is Kinda Generally Boring. Red = Independence, Blue = Liberty, The Yellow Star = The Nation, The White Circle Is The Region.
That's pretty cool though, I also like that the region gets a little shout-out :) What about the name of your country, where did that come from?
Its Kinda Based On My Name (NOTE: Based Of My Name Doesnt Mean Equal To My Name) Not Saying It Though For Obvious Reasons.
Yeah that's fair lol. Mine is just a little joke about the whole "America the Great" thing.
Yeah Btw Do You Think Roleplay Should Be In Discord In Forum? I Obviously Choose Forum Because As I Said Like Over 25 Times I Dont Have Discord.
This was a pretty big debate when it started up. I personally think it should go in the forum, it's just easier to keep organized that way.
Everyone I Heard Said They Prefer Forum So Whyd We Move To Discord Anyways?
As far as I know, the RP was always on the forum. When did it move to Discord?
Wait What Did I Just Imagine That We Moved To Discord? I Need To Check
You might have, lol. I think it was on the forum the whole time, but I could be mistaken because I didn't have too much to do with the RP after we finished planning it out.
Im Checking Now.
Cant Find It Anyways Whatdya Wanna Do?
Not sure at the moment. I'm just finishing something up and then I'm probably going to put some more thought into the region and how to help get it back on its feet
We Can Try Making The Parliament Or Congress Again?
Before we do that, I think we need to get our numbers up. I'm getting advice from some good people with a little more experience on how to start recruiting for the region and inspiring activity. Once we have more people around, I think we should definitely get going on a regional government. For now, though, I don't think we have enough active nations to make it interesting.
Ok We Can Try Recruiting New Democratic Socialist Nations? Although Theyll Probably Leave If They See These Messages lol
Lol maybe. We probably have an old recruitment telegram sitting around somewhere to try out.
Well Ill Try Finding A New DemSoc Nation.
Cool, I'll work on figuring out how to send this kind of tg
Hello?
Ok Guys Since Everyone I Heard Says Forum Should Be RP Instead Of Discord So Im Just Doing Forum Roleplay Anyways

Hello!
good morning Aya! (or whatever time of day it is for you)
ATG Hows It Going?
I start college in two days and I still haven't bought any textbooks... also living 3 hours away from my college because I'm doing all online. This should be a catastrophe :))
School For Me Is Startin In 30 Minutes But I Still Have Time Because Its Now All Tech
that's good. I'm hoping my books will all be digital, I definitely don't want to drive down there to pick them up lol.
Wait Why Do We Even Need Non-Digital Books In This COVID Age?
Well I would imagine a lot of companies just haven't adapted yet. Slow responses have been a hallmark of this pandemic
Kinda Makes Sense
Hey everyone, make sure you answer the poll! We're doing a quick roll call to see who's active and reading these messages.
Both of the options kinda means the same ...which one to choose?
EIther one works, I think I had to have two options to make it a poll so I threw two up there.
How do I lower taxes in my country?
Cut spending through decisions
I Wonder If The WA Delegate Is Ever Gonna Change Becuz The Person With The Most Endorsements Is The WA Delegate?
