I've received questions about my nation I'm not truly meant to be a Nazi parody, more so a parody of working in Walt Disney world if any of you have ever worked in Walt Disney World
My cousin works in Hong Kong Disneyland...the smiley smiley people really creeps on you. You should also see her collection of Disney themed birthday parties (including dress ups!) she has through the years.
Scary...

WA Resolution: "Access to Organs and Tissues" - FOR or AGAINST?
Leaning for, we've always got a shortage of blood and organs with all the wars we're in. Being part of a worldwide resource bank might be a good idea.
Voluntary organ donation is compulsory in TM. That's why there is no real shortage of organs. Becoming part of the OTDRC would mean to give away organs for free. Without compensation.
This is just another attempt of the WA to over-regulate areas that should be left to individual member nations. And just think about it, would you give your organs to a Bigtopian? Exactly, I wouldn't too.
Defend the freedom of our organs and vote NO on "Access to Organs and Tissues".
I speak for the trees!
Trees don't have organs? Unless you think trees have souls.. are you Pocahontas. I'm more of a Ferngully person back in the day.
They have limbs?
AND PEG LEGS!
The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Warzone Codger's national animal is the Gran Torino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests
Excellent. Eliminated the corrupt private sector and restored our forests. The Red Czar knows best.
Warzone Codger is ranked 40th in Warzone Airspace and 59,014th in the world for Largest Soda Pop Sector.
Soft drinks are bad mmmkay. They rot your teeth that's needed to bite our enemies. Wait what? Your people are more civilised? I'm sorry.
24th.
Hard liquor is better than a soft drink.
Remember the waterworld theory I talked about? I just found a good map which could be used for the region.

I've assumed Airspace is where Amercia is. Feel free to download it mark yourselves and upload it again. We might do something more formal with if I (ever) get the forums going again..
Why do we need land anyway? Airspace is not called Airspace for no reason. Why not flying cities and flying fortresses? Clouds being a perfect cover for surprise attacks. Subjugating not so fortunate land dwellers.

Fusion powered of some sort, with anti gravity system flying forts are the best! Always in the air 24/7/360, patrol flights and the whole system, very fun.
There was some game I played in the late 90's that involved floating castles and such, but I forget the name if it...
Edit: Oh, oh! It was Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies.
I'm more of a Laputa: Castle in the sky person, it's a old anime movie.
Warzone Codger is ranked 11th in Warzone Airspace and 12,647th in the world for Most Subsidized Industry.
I am hoping to max that out, so government and corporations are one. There are no individuals. You are all only part of The Government.

Voted FOR legalising prostitution. If people wish to do it, then it is their choice. As for the bigger picture, our warriors can get their jollies as they wish, as long as it doesn't affect their morale to fight for the fatherland...
Exactly. And since charging for erotic services is considered a crime against the welfare of the nation. The Voluntary Hygiene Service was introduced to the Technates not long ago.
A modest compensation for missed earnings for serving in the VHS is paid by the government. Along with a retirement plan for dedicated long-time serving prosti...I mean citizens.

I'm well. Maybe good tomorrow.

Post self-deleted by Kalakar Modus.
The Disputed Territories of Kalakar Modus have emerged. A previously powerful and vast nation dissolved into anarchic civil war after an internal break-down of communications infrastructure was followed up by an invasion of private mercenaries funded by Corporate interests. Many millions died, thousands of kilometers of fertile land were decimated, and most developed urban areas were leveled by intensely destructive conflict. The remaining populous of Kalakar Modus was coerced into unknowingly allowing the very Corporate force that had helped destroy their country to take over, via 'humanitarian' operations. As soon as the surviving citizens were tricked into taking up residence inside designated relief zones, the mysterious Corporate forces dropped all pretenses of compassion and assistance and forced the people of Kalakar Modus into mandatory labor activities to harvest natural resources and produce consumable products, at gunpoint. The country of Kalakar Modus is completely devoid of any welfare safety nets, educational centers, medical facilities, or any progressive societal elements that could inspire hope.
The boundaries of Kalakar Modus are now in question as to their official sovereignty, and numerous factions have solidified into existence. The factions consist of the ruling Corporate Police State's indifferent private mercenaries, patriotic holdouts of desperate Kalakar Modus counter-insurgents, and nomadic groups of opportunistic murderers and pillagers. The stage is set, and the Disputed Territories of Kalakar Modus' political future appears to be grim and destined for further conflict.
So silent...
Ham Ham Ham Ham Hamly Ham Ham Ham......
The Hero's slumber...
20 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, genetic researchers have been expelled.
1 day 20 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed.
Only all natural ham for me. Animals are for eating too, silly puppy-puppets.
Long time no see.
Pffffft. Im no puppet.
*cough*
How does it feel to have a real genuine nation among your ranks?
Welcome actual nations! Any more of this slumber and we'll be gone! =P
We're slipping almost to a point where we could -actually- get invaded and I need to be active haha...
Indeed old chap.
Hail Testlandia! We're honoured to have your Modly Testiness here ;)
I offer all citizens of Warzone Airspace ham.
Law of the Seas: FOR or AGAINST?
Do we feel having a settled process to decide where our sea claims end is useful? Or do we trust our navy to win out in a free for all?
Leaning for atm. I don't want to be dependent solely on 'might is right', though it's a double edged sword..
Will this resolution make ham the international food?
I don't know the effect this resolution has on Ham-based industries, but I have turned to the WA Halls to ask:
http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=7302606#p7302606
Against. Borders and such should not be of any concern to the WA. Don't give'm more power it will only make the WA stronger.
2 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, the government spends millions of Olde Coins every year prosecuting spammers.
Murder rate goes up after I've banned spam.
1 day 2 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime.
Civil Rights went up after I legalised piracy.
I love this game.
8 hours ago: Following new legislation in Kalakar Modus, there are no minimum wage laws.
1 day 8 hours ago: Following new legislation in Kalakar Modus, the government is avowedly atheist.
The Modus Conglomerate makes two things clear; When we pay workers, IF we pay them, we pay them what we SAY they get. And no more praying for the betterment of your situation. Unfold those hands and GET BACK on the factory line. That is all.
A time and a half hours ago: Following no legislation nothing changed in the Technates. The people celebrated cheerfully in front of the House of All to thank their leader for their uneventful lives.
35 days ago: Following new legislation in The Airspace Capital, The Airspace Capital's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region.
Ever since then The Airspace Capital has been in paralysis, unable to make a single decision. The papers are reporting however that the Warzone Codger/Czar might be arriving to restore process, the people are clearly calling for his intervention.
In the mean time, a diplomatic call to sent around the world to other 'like' community nations for Airspace to establish relations. http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=145462
Alright boys.
6 hours ago: Warzone Codger was ranked in the Top 10% of the world for Most Subsidized Industry.
Progress. Why is it important for governments to subsidise industry? Control. Government backed-industry ensures business works for the goals of the nation. All production churns as perfectly tuned gears, marching together for the common goal. We are not brutes who squabble each other competing for a gain of rice - Codgerande is an indivisible nation with sights for the world.
Kalakar Modus: On the other hand, religion can raise the zeal of the people to work harder without compliant! I am proud that Codgereans are one of the most devout in the world (Top 5%). Their total faith in their Czar makes it immeasurably easier to manage the nation without the bothers of dissent. I treat them well in turn, an 'excellent' civil rights rankings allowing them to go about their lives *as long as the job is done*.

Story
Well that's a mess.
The bungled negotiations by The Airspace Capital over tourists held hostage in Warzone Africa debased the government into over a month of paralysis, as ministers flung insults at each other accusing of incompetence and corruption. In the interim, criminal elements supported by foreign interests have continued to infiltrate into the capital, littering the state with gambling dens and other vices. Without any government intervention, the ring leaders have no qualms exploiting even the youngest members, with children attracted by the flashing lights now carrying huge debts and put in forced labour or worse to repay them.
(OOC: Did not answer the child gambling issue. Chose the negotiation option for the tourist in death row issue).
Amidst the complete abandonment of any standard societal norms, polygamists have come of the fore swinging around the city with their multiple wives. Now that The Airspace Capital is functional again, they are lobbying you to officially legalise the practice.
Your Choices
1. "It's about time we had our rights recognized," says Mr Frederickson, with two bombshells around his arms "Who is the government to tell me I can't love more than one woman? The government doesn't know how much of me there is to go around!"
2. "This is nothing more than sexual deviants wanting us to recognise their perversion!" says Reverend Clint Dodinas. "Marriage is one man, one woman, and death do we part. What's so hard to get? Anything else is a perversion, and must be banned."
3. "Multiple wives? Excellent!" says passer-by Melbourne Spirit. "Presumably we will allow multiple husbands, as well. And gay marriages, of course. In fact, now is probably the time for the government to butt out of marriage altogether. Let people marry their cats, if they want."
What should Airspace do?
Option 1.
More wives = more children = more citizens proudly defending the homeland.

All are welcome!
It's kind of pointless ad-spamming in a warzone. All nations moved here deliberately.
I have a policy of refounding any region who tries to recruit here. They all get put on my dossier where I wait, and wait till they collapse. Then I swoop in and refound them as trophies. It's called 'Victory through Persistence': I don't need take any offensive actions against them, I just wait for them to defeat themselves.
There's one key for this plan to work: We continue making Airspace great! So we would out-survive to be victorious over them.
HI :)
Hello new nations! Introduce yourselves and make yourselves home :) There's that story I above by "The Airspace Capital" that could also do with a few more replies!
I vote Option 1 because that is what I would say.
How can someone be a sexual deviant? Reverend Donuts is obviously a prude who thinks anything sexual is bad.
I ask the Reverend, how did you come about sir?
Hmmmm?
Also if we have hostages in Warzone Africa I am willing to lend my very small armed forces to help. We do not condone evil hostage takers.
Look what I found in Warzone Asia

Option 1. The Modus Conglomerate endorses the idea that a man should have power over more than one woman, through marriage. The top shareholders are sexist, so sue us? Money is what it is, but the people 'with' the money... that's a different story.
Here's a basic introduction to military play to those who are interested: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=99173
Warzone Africa is too fortified at the moment. I do have some targets in mind though. There are many who try to shatter our unity by taking our members. It's time fight back..

Warzone Codger is ranked 57th in Warzone Airspace and 76,113th in the world for Largest Mining Sector.
4 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, the children of Warzone Codger are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence.
Resources are not our strong point, though if it means mining guano that might actually be a good thing. We prefer dealing in people's addictions "soda" sales and gambling. We also began a new policy of getting our youth desensitised to violence from an early age. It is felt that it would provide the composure prevent shrieking from their duties when the time comes. Some of the children can't handle it, but it is earlier to weed out the unsuitable while it's still early - before they betray the nation.
I have voted AGAINST the World Assembly Resolution "Social Assistance Accord" for the same reasons. Our culture require all to be self sufficient, Codgerande is land for people who dare to make their own destiny not for free riders looking to be provided for by the state.
The Technates of Tired Masses is a massive, devout nation, ruled by First Teko Georg23 with a gentle hand, and notable for its keen, peaceful interest in outer space. Its open-hearted, dedicated, optimistic population of 2.099 billion are ruled wisely by the incorruptible, democratic elected government, which supports everyone not only those who are on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations obey the law like everyone else, and use their financial clout to help the government to help the[/I] poor and unemployed to be respected and valued members of the society.
It is difficult to tell where the always helpful, incorruptible, pro-humanitarian government stops and the rest of society begins, but it takes well care of the linked necessities of Decent public behaviour, Peacekeeping, and Consumption. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viva City. Citizens donate a flat income share of 56%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Defence Tools Manufacturing, Information Technology, and other well respected industries.
The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently abolished by public vote, record sales of 'child-education tools' have been recorded, the nation's world-famous boot camp is less brutal than most battlefields, and elections are well participated in and a hairstylist has recently received a government appointment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the well educated and respected police. Tired Masses's national animal is the feather Sloth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Technism, and its currency is the Mascu.
Correction: The recently appointed government official is not a hairstylist but on of the most highly regarded modern performance artist of the Technates.
Ok.........?
Ooooh interesting:

This sorts the World Rankings within our class size as a "Large" (50-100) region. On that scale we are the 16th most corrupt region!

Back to nation news: 5 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, gun ownership is compulsory.
Civil rights took a 3 point hit ouch, but this is about personal responsibility. All citizen need to able to defend themselves. It might be hard overcome your own uneasiness with firearms at first, but it must be done. The government helps who help themselves.

So what do you wish me to do Codger?
Hey guys, don't know if you remember me, Its been awhile. My nation ceased to exist like almost a year ago, but I'm back. So yeah.
Welcome back Libertepaix! We missed you. Hpw have you been?
Crisisies: As this is a Warzone, I'll like it best if you rearm (join the WA) that'll give you the weapons to defend this place from invaders, and allow us to invade others.
Other than that, just keep chatting!
Sorry, another nation needs WA membership right now.
Had to tell Tatu Rama what I had on my mind.
It's ok. Just promise you will come and defend this place if I ever get too low. I'm on 12 right now which should be safe, I think 7 is the lowest I want it to go.
I think the best way to deal if them if to ignore them, their own inability means they'll eventually fall. We don't even need to do a thing!

3 hours ago: The Jingoistic States of Testlandia departed this region for Osiris.
Osiris is a newly created sinker region for refounded nations since Lazarus was getting too big. So is Balder. We are blessed that Airspace was the last region the game admin Testlandia visited before creating these new regions..
History indeed. Two new game created regions. Wow. I just hope they don't create new regions that compete with the RR.
Yes. I will always be able to back it up. This guy is going to get on my nerves
Should I move to Balder too? o_0
No. Stay here! This region needs you. He's on a temporary mission.
Bah, Anarchy got boring. Hello all.
Welcome. This is rather stable for a Warzone. I think our main purpose is to laugh and snigger at the brawls in all the others? WA is always welcome for the security of this region from invaders.

News in Codgerande today
Social Assistance Accord was passed 7,091 votes to 4,090.
4 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour.
The recently passed WA resolution "Social Assistance Accord" has required WA nations such as Codgerande to make social security payments to the unemployed, disabled etc without any provision for checks and balances. As a result, to fund this outrageous resolution, his Czar is forced, very reluctantly to remove pensions to senior citizens, who are now forced back into work. It is a sad day, as if there is anyone deserving of reward it is them who built up Codgerande to the stable state it is today.
Details:http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=7372886#p7372886
The Modus Conglomerate is a burgeoning and growing force in Kalakar. Forty-five percent of the government budget has been allocated to Industry. As the nation grows under our rule, profits will remain high.
10 hours ago: Tanou was ranked in the Top 5% of the world for Fattest Citizens (last census: Top 10%).
Yay for girth growth. The wider the better. All this subcutaneous fat is a good natural protection against spiky weapons such as swords.

The Conglomerate's budget for Industry has increased to 48%! The gears, they turn, and the coal, it burns. The mines are dark, the uranium glows, the foremen growl, and every worker knows. With such speed, we make a mad dash, for money we lust, we covet stacked cash.
