History

Koranz wrote: Today's icebreaker: Are we in a new era of history, or is this still the Contemporary Age? What year would this new time period have started?

My answer: Yes, we are absolutely in a new Age of history. How future generations will refer to it is a mystery to me, but perhaps something like "Age of Code", "Age of Digitalisation", etc. As for when it started, perhaps 9/11 could be a good start. Important societal event, technological revolutions follow...

My answer is yes, but to answer this is an interesting process. What makes an "age of history"? Usually some distinctive feature, a great person or empire, some great innovation, or perhaps a deadly war. Timescales are also an important factor, are we taking this in the time of decades, or are we using timescales more closely resembling centuries?

I would personally say that this "age" begun back in '91. Characterized by the fall of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a historical anomaly, a unipolar world order. The rise of the new world order is also paralleled by the rise of the internet. With the internet, an absolutely monumental social, economic, and political upheaval followed.

I can go more in depth on discord, but too lazy rn

I also think so just because of the occasion of 2000, I mean look at how phones and computers have changed projecting the same rate of new tech in the future it seems we've either hit it are at a major turning point

The ages of history are Prehistoric times (until 5000 BCE), Ancient History(5000 BCE to 476 AD), the Middle Ages (476 to 1492), the Modern Age (1492 to 1789) and the Contemporary Age (1789 to present).

Just throwing ideas around: how would everyone feel about a Eurovision-style competition for Valaryia? We've reached quite a significant amount of members, and with ESC hype still quite fresh from this year, I reckon it could be fun.

I dunno, what are everyone's thoughts on this?

(And yes, I mean everyone. I need your opinions too, new nations!)

You've designed the flag taking the idea from the flag of Drabbhajeren.

Hi!

Canadian North California, Swedesttanossa, Valaryian Burvenchkaht

Suggestion:

Just rename the office of President to Prime Minister

All wa delegate can be the Prime minister but only after that nation resided 30 days

Strip all the wa delegate power so if an invasion came they can't do anything

Instead giving those precious power to the custom role, the Prime Minister

The prime minister remained in the office aslong they can keep the confidence of the rest of the region through endorsement

(You can ignore this suggestion though since this isn't really serious but I think this is going to be a huge leap in democratic process)

Give it up to me the one day delegate I spent my entire delegation attempting to hand over my delegation and didn't even perform a single vote on the WA or WA-sec, the best delegate is one that does nothing am I right? (Joke)

From the Office of Councilor Of Legislative Affairs

Following the welcome increase of new members this office would like to propose an idea that would deepen voting and regional rp alike. Different political parties *applause* These parties would be to serve the many different groups of Valaryia and in times of for example regional elections would help ensure everyone feels heard in the regional gov't (cough cough spice up rp and maybe be a catalyst for other twists)

Honest opinion: I don't know how I feel about this. Obviously, it's the right path to more democracy and would certainly deepen relations ooc. However, I just don't know if the idea would work at all, or even take off. It just seems like you need a pretty huge region to make that work right.

I think it would be best to see everyone else's opinion on the matter.

The way I see it it would just be a way to deepen interactions between members and allow more possibilities during rp through trade deals for votes, impacts of changing parties etc with the benefit of involving people in the regional electoral process in a different way of course you wouldn't need to vote along party lines but then what could the rp response to that be

I only looked at it from nations but I guess whatever the person would want, I feel that personal ideologies could be messy but would have some impact on your nation no? I guess that depends on playstyle but I think it should be left up to the individual on how they would approach it

If it's the ideologies of the nations than I think it's a good idea, if it's our irl ideologies I'm going to have to oppose it as centralizing one ideology in regional government would ostracize specific member states within the region.

Well, you can't be on the Security Council yet, because of the reasons Ny Holmstrom mentioned. However, you can still run for office without Discord. However, I suggest you do make a campaign when the time comes; it'll help you in the elections.
