Region: Warzone Airspace
You know my TARDIS is ranked top 5% in the world for laxest drug laws better get to the drug stores before they get deleted cause in a stressful situation like this you need weed
Welcome for speaking. I was afraid we have lost communication. We have secured the fuel rods and ETA for Codger's return is now on next Monday 7am Sydney time.
WA Vote Biological Warfare Act FOR or AGAINST?
-*static*---*transmission cut*
Vote FOR! If we had a few nasty, horrible weapons sitting around in Airspace, we could chunk them at people that piss us off. Biological weapons are like the tail on a rattlesnake... it means 'be careful and do not do anything stupid'.
For so we can have epic weapons for protectional purposes. And also to fend off the fifty foot narwhals of the northern coast.
For. One sided disarmament is always a good thing, if you're the side with all the weapons left.
His Holines, the Pope of Arimanes, High King of the Righteous People, Harald of The Great Destruction, Kenneth the Talmanes Reed, Son of Lars formaly requests a vote FOR the upcoming Biological Warefare Act, as he can't go anywhere without his mutated anthrax... for duck huntin'."

-Steals you husband
'cause we be rapin' everybody up in here.
Please leave a message after the tone:

5 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours.
1 day 5 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, the government's only official statement on the burning down of Codgerande was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless'.
3 days 5 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children.
What do they all have in common? They are all decisions of a government that respects the law of nature first. Fire is nature's rawest weapon - it does not have a motive, simply a pure expression of its will, to smite and remove those deemed unworthy to be able to protect against it. We shall not artificially stem it's course.
The same thinking follows in our education policies. Nature has chosen who are born gifted to be leaders and whose purpose is to follow. Everyone has their place. Our policy is to simply encourage and accelerate those whom nature has already chosen. We are a fair and unbiased government, we play no role in the choosing.
Finally, we have removed all restrictions on programming in the media. Why? For nature is naked and uncensored. Animals don't censor each other from life's full spectrum of beauty and gore, and neither should be.

@ reddivia II. Best song on you tube
I know, right? You get to see two elephants humping on some nature show, but when 'people' are involved it's wrong? Contradictions...
Let me rephrase that; When 'people' are getting involved with each other on TV, then it's wrong?
Oy Vey! When two humans are 'doing the do' it's disgusting and highly blasphemous! Oy!
" 'doing the do' " should only be done to replace and increase the number of soldiers.

Back at sweet home Sydney! Raining today though, which is quite ironic for a city touting itself for its beaches. Hong Kong was the one to have drab weather (but to marvel at man's conquest over nature), not the opposite!
From 100 down to 86, not that bad considering we've all just been doing our own thing.
Tanou: I believe it the 5th time they've tried. Guess you'll have to terrorise them though better strategy, decimating them through outright technological advantage :P Mind you, "Warzone Codger" is really just my private ranch for an experimental city (and my grand tower of ivory in where sits my throne to oversee all affairs!). Most of its actual residents have since migrated to the commonly-managed (and NON WA) nation The Airspace Capital.

Voted FOR "Right to Petition", using the same reasoning as this - http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=799930. This resolution only requires us to receive petitions, not act on them - little concessions such as those would let them feel better that they think they are doing something, without actually threatening our rule. Besides the people might have good ideas every once in a while, what harm is there in receiving mail?
Letter bombs maybe? I voted against.
Welcome new nations!

I have approved Rights of Intelligent Beings. http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=bears_armed_mission_1323704096
Their author Bears Armed who's also Flying Armed Bears gives this as their reasoning - which is kept to the Warzone theme so it's nice!
You want to know how my proposal would affect a post-apocalyptic warzone? Well, maybe some of your people -- even if they are actually of Human ancestry -- might be so heavily mutated that some people elsewhere might not consider them as 'human' as far as rights are concerned?.
Fair enough I think.

The thing about 'Evolutionary Pace' is that it could be very slow. Job interview tomorrow, hope this one goes well.
The Great Destruction. 2nd in Airspace and top 5% here for my nation, unfortunately I need not see your rank. I attribute it to a high cult of personality since the beginning days.., but my citizens could be too devout though. Yes, I bought them to the wilderness and gave them the bountiful lives they live now, but it's time they developed some independent thinking...

What's up with those wannabe raids?
And what's everyone doing! Talk guys. I have something radical to announce about the future of this region.
Merry Christmas!
Good tidings to all.
The Modus Conglomerate's finance reports have come in, and we have good news. We have aggressively moved forward in book publishing, fishing, agriculture, and the retail industries, and profits are soaring.
The Conglomerate's pool of labor has vastly expanded, as our slave-trade has procured fresh laborers from new sources. Foreign and domestic criminals, debtors, prisoners of war, and newly indentured Kalakar citizens are all swiftly processed and put through their paces to make, without question, probably the most affordable goods in Warzone Airspace.
I approve.
Dear Cadres,
You might of noticed the radical changes that have suddenly been implemented around you. I will be providing a full explanation soon, through much of it is self explanatory from what is written. The basic idea through is there are more than just nations in your region; look beyond and we are all part of an international community of nations.
Do not be alarmed. I am still the Codger you know, and Airspace as a Warzone themed region will not be going away. We are just taking it in a newer, bigger direction, to engage the world.
Think Big.
Codger how should i display the map
Use an image loader service. Post the map and some info about it in the appropriate forum, maybe the Factbook forum (I believe you got a factbook idea to start as well?). When that's done, post the link here so we could find it.
*A fanciful procession of white limousines dappled with Syndomis flags and wreaths of white roses is shown on camera, a Royal parade making its way from city to city within Warzone Airspace. Following the procession in enthusiastic lockstep is a color guard of men and women of equal height and numerous hues of skin tone. The color guard bears a very large banner of Syndomis, borne by two standard bearers, whom are all surrounded by men and women each bearing a single flag, the smaller ones streaming and fluttering in the breeze and displaying a white and red checkered pattern.
An elderly caucasian man with a trimmed salt and pepper beard, sideburns, friendly gray eyes, and a distinguished white uniform swathed in a medal-adorned blue sash walks calmly up to a reporter, supporting himself on a thin black cane. The man speaks, his voice weighed down with age, yet still inflected with warmth and intelligence, "Hello, to all... of Warzone Airspace. I am Timothy Rimbault Winterstead, Prime Minister of Syndomis. I speak for the Queen when I say that we have moved to this region with amiable intentions and a plainspoken desire... to enrich the lives of others, and encourage friendship."
Timothy nods to the reporter and dismisses all questions with a glimmer of joviality in his eyes as he confusedly staggers back towards the procession. The Prime Minister was having quite a time figuring out which spot he had previously occupied, and the stiff-postured members of the color guard had their hands full trying to direct him back to his place without jostling each other or laughing.*
Awwwwwww...that's sweet.
Can I kill him?

Hello
I urge you to join our region, The Democratic Union Of Allied Nations
Our region has grown to about 200 nations, and it's new, so you can make your mark on the region! Our nations are friendly, so your experience will be much more personal and fulfilling with us than one of those huge regions with countless members. Because our region is a little bit bigger than most, we promise security to your nation! I can confidently say that our region is very secure.
If you're interested in regional governments or politics, we already have a government set up, so we would like to invite you to join!
Thank you for your time!
TVs are blaring all accross Warzone Airspace about a horrific terrorist attack on the regions map making nation.
A large Parade for The King of Greater Cullenia With Large Tanks and Even Larger Cullenian War Machines guard a Huge Tank With a repulsorlift Engine as The King waves to the citizens of recently liberated Greatest Cullenia as it was Incorporated back into the conglomerate.
Suddenly Two, Three, Four gunshots fly from a window in an apartment, coming from a hidden rebel. To the king's surprise and the bewilderment of the people windows fly open to reveal a multitude of rebels from the dictatorship.
Then it happened.
The Rebels all pick up large RPGs and fire a blast, destroying the buildings, and sending them crashing down on the people of Narg City, the king,
And them.
REscue crews from around the Conglomerate and it's allies are looking for survivors, but all they have found are tank crews. The King, Cullen II, is in the ICU of the Royal Hospital.
More Help is needed. Please respond. Greater Cullenia Needs YOU!
Full explanation and replies to everyone's posts in the morning (bed time now). Been busy putting a few final touches and we'll do this all at once. :)
To all nations of the Warzone Airspace. It has come time that we, The Holy Empire of The Great Destruction, join the World Assembly. As was discussed in the very first dictorum, our goal is to bring the peace, structure, and the Grace of God to all nations, even if we have to beat it into you. Although our efforts so far have been received well, and with little conflict I might add, now it is time to bring the fight against evil and radical men to the World. I will seek to appoint a representative from our nation to handle all World Assembly concerns should we be accepted.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am back.
The Conglomerate puts forth this announcement to all imperialist aggressors, religious evangelists, and competing corporate entities;
The Disputed Territories of Kalakar Modus is a high security zone. All of the people's within the Disputed Territories are the sole property of the Modus Conglomerate. Our borders are strictly policed, and 'tourism' is forbidden. All travel and transportation within the country is tracked, and all citizens are barcoded and assigned a serial number instead of a traditional name.
Labor camps, security checkpoints, detention facilities, strip mines, deforestation zones, agricultural communes, sprawling manufactory plants and metal foundries, munition dumps, motion sensor grids, minefields, radar towers, surface to air missile sites, bunker complexes, nuclear plants, and super-maximum security prisons.
Kalakar is no longer a country. Foreign diplomats, religious envoys, and all corporate messengers are barred from entering the holdings of the Conglomerate unless invited.
Once inside Kalakar, all civil and political freedoms are surrendered. All citizens are employees, paid or unpaid.
All attempts to subvert or arrest control of Kalakar from the Modus Conglomerate will result in swiftly executed clandestine activities via saboteurs, assassins, and full-scale operations from the many private military corporations on the Conglomerate's payroll.
End message.
Merry christmas for the coming week!
(Still busy today - LOTS of Christmas planning to do, sent out cards today, stocking up on food to buy and other items. I'm really into embracing festivals and making the most of it.)
Warzone Codger has been experimenting with his tax and government ownership policies. I see the following possibilities and would like to hear your advice.
1.) High government ownership and high taxes. The government owns all the factories and keep all its earnings. Supposedly the government would also spend some of it to provide for it's people, the advantage being the government can prioritise what people get. However the government might be getting it wrong with managing the economy or how it should be spent.
2.) High government ownership and low taxes. The government owns all the factories but its earnings are given to the people who can spend it however they like. This ensures companies are well regulated and under control yet the people still can decide what they want to do with their money.
3.) Low government ownership and high taxes. The government does not interfere with the running of business but taxes its earnings. This might require a delicate balance to ensure the economy as not crumble together since you convince private businesses to work yet you are taking everything. However this might work if both parties have the same goals.
4.) Low government ownership and low taxes. Allows businesses to run as they wish and keep their earnings. Most personally satisfying but the lack of government oversight might mean business does things the government does not like. The lower taxes also mean the government has less ability emphasise particular areas.
--
I'm trying to achieve 2 right now. For national security reasons it is important that the government controls the means of production and that industry is working in line to the nations long term goals for survival. At the same time, I want people to be free and really develop a sense of ownership of the work they do, letting them know that they are being rewarded for their contribution.
Not quite as extreme as the Conglomerate's way of doing business, but it's a decent start.

Abiding by our new voting policy of embracing the game/universe wide International Community, I have voted FOR in both the GA and the SC. That is what Realvotes decrees, and it shall be followed. As a delegate I am but a servant.
Individual nations however are free to decide as they wish.

That said, even if Warzone Codger is allowed to speak I would still vote FOR the resolutions. The possibly of injury is too high in a Warzone and any effort to stem the loss of life (such as availability of organ transports) should be embraced. In fact...
5 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form.
Those who die are recycled to provide for the living. Death nourishes Life. No one's death will ever be in vain.
To: Warzone Codger
We beleive your plan number 2 is flawed. Let the people take most of the burden on ownerships and its costs. The government should have controlling share but that can be managed at less than half of the total. Further more, no matter how much the government supplies, when you get above 48% tax rate the economy dies off. So manage this percentage carefully to provide your government with enough funding every year for the just in cases, send half the surplus back at the end of the year to promote economic growth and invest the other half in buying foreign debt.
P.S. - Thank you for your WA endorsement

Boy, this region has changed.
So full today. Had leg ham, roast chicken, prawns and some very nice cherry wine as a Winter Feast.
In my culture, the Winter Solstice is the main time for the family gathering, rather than Christmas. Mainly because Christmas is a Christian thing, but it isn't so deep rooted in the East, while the Winter Solstice has its origins with farmers preparing their fields which applied to everybody back then..
Wine in a box is the best!
Tip it!
I'm back!
Welcome back, fellow party members.

How are everyone's plans for Christmas? Quiet one at home, or a rowdy one with family and friends?

I have finalised the infobox. Please all read it. I hope this strikes the right balance between maintaining our unique cultural Warzone identity and our new entrance to engage with the worldwide (gamewide) International Community. This will become clearer as we begin implementing the scheme. However for starters:
The adventures of our common nation, The Airspace Capital will be presented on the main forums (though a link to it will be posted here on the RMB for you to find it) and your participation should take place there. The aim is to announce The Airspace Capital to the ENTIRE world so to give outside nations a chance to interact and form relations with it. Be assured that control of The Airspace Capital and the final decisions it makes will remain with Airspace. It is hoped this would lead to more in depth roleplays (also because the format of the main forums is better for that sort of thing than the RMB).
Similarly official declarations and explanations of your nation's vote in the WA should be made in the official forums. As proud Airspacers you should not be afraid to present your opinions to the WORLD! Only by daring to present our opinions the WORLD can we have a greater impact of influencing the vote.
More will be explained as we come towards it.
ARISE AIRSPACE! ARISE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!
P.S: I know I am guilty of ignoring anyone else's roleplays. I just needed to get this done and re-establish the purpose of Airspace (with the new infobox and the explanation in the post before) before I could take part in it again.
As for what you is ok to post on the RMB, local informal stuff. Descriptions of your nations, rankings, ad-hoc roleplays that we can jump in and leave as we like. I think that's the distinction, informal things go here, 'proper things' should be done properly and go on the main forums.
Anyways , getting into the swing of things again, which issue should use to restart our roleplay? Last done here: http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=737054
The following issues confront The Airspace Capital:
1. Welfare Programs Not Faring Well [unaddressed]
2. Terrorists Strike City Centre [unaddressed]
3. Cancer Sufferer Demands Euthanasia Bill [unaddressed]
4. Lack Of Doctors Needs Cure [unaddressed]
5. A Question Of Faith [unaddressed]
Fun fact: The government-industrial complex is alive and well. The top 9 nations in Airspace are all in the top 10% of the WORLD for most subsidised industry. In fact, I lost my badge for top 10% of Airspace in this ranking but kept the world..
The Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Karsteinia is proud to introduce Karsteinia's new capital in the freshly renamed city of "New The Pharaoh's Kickass Main City". It has a water slide.
*Timothy Rimbault Winterstead makes an appearance on local news channels, dressed up in his Syndomis military regalia, sans the blue sash. He is in a well lit studio with two ceremonial guardsmen of Syndomis on either side of him. The elderly statesmen speaks.*
" Hello again, to Airspace. The Queen sends here sincerest regards to all who reside here. She is fair too busy dealing with matters of state. We are laying the foundations of new cities hereabouts. The Queen is named Freeda the Fifth, as she descends from a long line of Royals from the Freeda family.
Queen Freeda the Fifth holds equal powers to that of myself, the Prime Minister, but both of our offices of rule are quite benevolent. The Queen is young, barely out of her twenties, and I am her teacher and mentor, after her mother died. Syndomis 'does' have a King, Paul the First, but our beloved Paul's position as King is much more ceremonial than that of Freeda's own. As tradition dictates here in Syndomis, the Queen is the Royal with the most clout.
I... I must retire for the evening. Oh-hooo, I know these guardsmen would like for me to officially retire, apparently because keeping my tottering backside from tipping over is quite a fright to these young folk!"
*The Prime Minister elbow-nudges one of the ceremonial guardsmen in the ribs in good jest, eliciting a couple snickers from the camera crew and nervous smiles from the guardsmen. Prime Minister Winterstead cackles softly and begins the journey back to his vehicle of conveyance, his cane softly tapping out a rhythm as he went along with the younger soldiers in tow.*
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all
Today's report - while I still procrastinate from doing any real RP (but cmon it's Christmas!)
Warzone Airspace - A slum of corruption?
Christmas was supposed to be a time for love, giving and sharing, but a report released today by the World Census group has shown Warzone Airspace to be one of the *most* corrupt regions in Nationstates! Ranked a lowly 6,864th out of 9,291 regions, the report has exposed Airspace, far from it's slick public image of civility and professionism, lies a dark underbelly of bribes and extortion where the mantra 'whatever it takes' is still king.
Damningly it shows An Indecisive Soldier, an empty dummy-nation to be ranked the 9th *least* corrupt in Airspace, showing the temptation to succumb to kickbacks too great as most governments have only become more more corrupt since their inception. The relative scale tells a even more horrifying story; While the dummy nation rates -10 on the Inverse Mugabe Relativity Rating (which is also interesting as it shows people are inherently corrupt unless taught otherwise), the World Average is +20, a warning that as the world is increasingly ridding itself of corruption Airspace risks falling behind and being a pariah region.
Comments from individual nation leaders are now being sought. Let's hope this is only a misunderstanding.
(OOC: Your turn to comment/explain your nation's anti-corruption ranking today. It'll be particularly nice if you can explain why corruption isn't a bad thing... :P)
The Conglomerate is in the top ten percent of the world for most corrupt national entities... we are probably skewing the average quite severely.
Our Mugabe Relativity Rating is currently at 113. Not that this alarms the Conglomerate in the slightest. It's just... business as usual.
3 hours ago: Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, elections have recently been reintroduced to Warzone Codger.
Yet apparently my people *voted* to be enslaved - Political freedoms dropped by 63 to 51. Monitors have noticed that newspaper editors and media network have engaged in fervent self-censorship out of cult-like love for their Czar.
My attempt to free them from myself might need more work. Perhaps only God, Her Violet can save them. Offerings have to the international community - http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=156876
(OOC: There is a confirmed bug with that issue where your political freedoms would DECREASE even when you picked the option to allow elections)
The Pharaoh salutes the Czar of Grinch for having been so effective in breaking his people's will that they now do not even know how to be free.
Meanwhile the Pharaoh is getting increasingly annoyed that his people have somehow gotten any political freedoms at all. The Pharaoh allows people to live their lives however they want to, but if they try to tell him to change his policy of governing to something other than "whatever he damn well feels like" then heads should role.
On an unrelated note the Pharaoh is stunned that his nation complains about adult content in mid-day television shows, when the entire country has enforced nudity. The kids would be more confused if Cinderella did wear a dress.
We humbly suggest to The Pharoah that nudity might be enforced, but that doesn't use your people know how to use their dangly bits. In fact I believe that's the view they had in Israelia, "When two humans are 'doing the do' it's disgusting and highly blasphemous! Oy!" (http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=840462), while the people of Tanou are uncomfortable with any adult expression except for "increasing the number of soldiers." (http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=843081).
The residents of Airspace have very diverse views.

The Czar would also like to announce that our Christmas Hating Grinches have succeeded in stealing Christmas! This follows our rampage this time last year through the North Pole in our hunt to kidnap Santa... (See: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=85270). Why does Airspace hate Christmas? Well sit down by the fire and let Old Grinchy Codger tell you a story....to be continued.

Airspace will now be re-branding itself as 'Warfront'. The new name reflects our claim over *all* the Warzones, which calling ourselves 'Warzone Airspace' does not. We are 'Warfront' who has its headquarters in Warzone Airspace, not an organisation called 'Warzone Airspace'.
I have also made a new flag: The purple background suggests pride and excellences, while the swam in the middle represents freedom and grace. The bird also reflects our origins in Airspace, from the skies.
Morbid Empire: This means I'm putting The International Community on the backburner. It can wait while the Warfront gets underway. :)

On another note, The Great Destruction makes a good point can everyone please begin to endorse eachother? While I have 20 endos, the next closest to me only has 2 or 3. This is risk to our security should anything happen to me (or I decide to step down).

Lastly how was Christmas and what are everyone's plans for the New Year? I'm probably having a quiet one this year, I went out the city the previous two. Sydney has one of the best fireworks though. :)
hmm.....Warfront...I like it
As for New year's I might go up to navy pier or just meet some friends/family
To Commander Crisisies: That is the second time you have mentioned that. I hope you mean for the better.
To the World Alliance Members of Warzone Airspace...ahem...excuse me...Warfront:
I propose that there be 3 agreed upon nations which hold positions in this region that carry with them the majority of endorsements. The highest Being the WA Delegate, or High Delegate, of course, while two Deputy Delegates each who have two less endorsements than the High Deleagte. Everyone will agree to endorse the three delegates with some caveates. The High Delegate does not endorse the Deputy Delegates and the Deputy Delegates do not endorse each other but must endorse the High Delegate. This allows for the Deputy Delegates to come to a mutual agreement to remove the High Delegate from power but if they were to do that by themselves it would result in a tie. If for some reason, control of the region needed to change, the Deputy Delegates would simply remove their endorsements from High Delegate and agree which one of them would be endorsed by the other. This provides a stable but temporary form of protection in the region from outside influence but any one person could be undermined by the will of the people (sounds like fun).
Every so often we could hold an election for the right to be Deputy Delegate and alternate the deputy position campaigns. We could call them the Right and Left Delegates. When a nation gains the status of Deputy Delegate for the first time he could be called the Left delegate, the current Left Delegate would be moved to Right Delegate the current Right Delegate would be dismissed and so on limiting the position to two terms in a row. Of coaurse all of this until a new High Delegate is needed. Then the delegates would agree upon leadership or campaign across the region for endorsments.
Let Me hear what the rest of you think.

Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity.
Following new legislation in Warzone Codger, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day.
The establishment of the Warfront has its effects keenly felt even on a national level. Nationalist sentiments are on the rise to indoctrinate the people of their divine birthright for conquest of the Warzones. No more 'living in harmony' or 'peace with the world'. The World is OURS, and we shall claim it. HAIL THE WARFRONT!

Syndomis (In response to http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=888303): Apologies for the late reply. As you can see, Airspace has been subject to a political revolution which is just beginning to settle. Does their reverence for the matriarch extend down the gentry and peasantry? Queen Freeda must be an inspiration to all women. How do the men feel?
*whispers to Timothy*
"Here in Codgerande, we are REAL men! Surely you don't want be working under her forever, especially as you -in actuality- hold the reigns to the Queendom!"

To the ambassadors from The Great Destruction: I will have a think about it. Ultimately though, the goal of the Warfront is the unification of all 6 Warzones, so we should think globally rather than just Airspace as one region. I am envision a system similar to the (Real Life) European Union, where all the Warzones are united as the Warfront, but each Warzone can be run as they wish. At Airspace's current size it be worth dividing it a bit and spreading it over to a second Warzone, but let's take this slowly.
The Great Destruction I like your idea but do we really need two deputy delegates? I think we would really only need one. Not many regions have two vice delegates.
The idea behind two deputy delegates is that the rest of the countries could overthrow the one that takes power if needed but your point is conceded. It would act as more of a deterant for outside invaders than be really all that helpful in politics.

If a deputy delegate seized power then we could just not endorse him. If he bans us we could just come back, this is a warzone.

Welcome new nations: The next chapter of the Warfront Story will be based on Issue 204: "Lack Of Doctors Needs Cure" - A medical crisis strike Airspace! It should be ready by tonight.
The previous chapter can be viewed here: http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=737054 .We've done over 20 issues/chapter I believe, making us one of the longest running community nations.
The Airspace Capital can be seen as the 'backbone' of roleplaying here. It provides a starting point for people base their story on and is a simple way to join in. Your opinion decide the decisions it makes! It takes the issues the nation gets and adapts it to the "Warzone" theme to provide a fun and entertaining story.
Good to see new nations in the warfront.
Excuse me, does anyone have the specialized nucleur fuel to power a Twin Ion Engine fighter, my left ion engine needs refueling.
I was once in a thriving nation known as Locketropica, I was in an argument with the members of The Axis of Evil and that's when it happened: nation states destroyed Locketropica and all 1.598 billion of its citizens well, almost all of them.
I managed to survive by changing my IP adress, I put my back to my own nation as the forums came to delete it. I still have vivid nightmares of its destruction. Now I'm a nomad pilot determined to detroy The Axis of Evil. I used to stick with who ever paid me as a mercenary, but now it's different, now this region can help me derstroy The Axis of Evil and avenge the motherland of Locketropica. Please help me.
Let go of your past friend. The Warfront offers a clean fresh for all nations, our territories beyond the reach of other authorities, but we fight our own battles.
