Region: Warzone Airspace
Ha-ha! The skies are no longer safe!
Ok,mister
Gentlemen und ladies,
You are about to experience a Region of unparalleled potence, evil, strictness, arrogance, chastity, oppression, rigidity, militarism, hysterical screams, brutality, rage, hatred, obedience, fashion und sensuality. Zhis experience ist not for zhe inferior, impure und veak. If you are superior, pure und strong, you vill goose-step alongside your eqvals, in zhe most stupendously stylish uniforms. You vill march over zhe remains of inferior peoples und experience Schadenfreude at zheir expense. Zhose zhat are not too feeble must enter The Greater German Reich!
@Air Pirates
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!! *crackling thunder*
I have returned my friends. Sickles will return to a puppet storage. Thanks!
Pirates and raiders and rogues. Yeah. Look out airspace, I am forming an East India Company to handle the excess ruffians. Lol
We pirates are the FUTURE! When all yer fancy schools, and malls, and museams, and mamby-pamby sports stadiums are burned to the ground, we'll be there, LAUGHIN'! We'll kill and loot and steal and BURN IT ALL! Bwahaha!! Load the autocannons, target the missiles, and slap a fresh mag in yer assault rifles boys, cuz there's killin' to do! YAAARGH!!

Upper and Lower Karsteinia is always game for hunting down pirate. As we all know the only thing cooler than something is a something-hunter. The Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Karsteinia will in addition to his status as a deity in the flesh, temporarily grazing this mortal plane with his majesty, become a pirate-hunter.
He did also issue a statement that the exception that proves the rule are Pharaoh-hunters, those are quote totally lame unquote.
The Pharaoh has also issued a new degree prohibiting names, giving every inhabitant of Karsteinia a number instead. This was not done so much for regulation, rather it allows the Pharaoh to pick a cool number for himself such as 666 or 593 (amount of the Anti-christ that the Pharaoh gets after Karsteinia taxes). Similarly the head of espionage will be whoever becomes #47, and Mr./Mrs. 1337 will win a brand new computer.

Tanou is ranked in the Top 5% of the region for Largest Soda Pop Sector last census: Top 10%.

You mad fiend, Tanou.
I miss the old days when I didn't get drawn into this WA crap. Im beginning to think the game is filled with whiny teenagers.
Defense from External Menaces is a terrible resolution that never should have been approved. I'm glad that it's going to fail.
I usually flip a coin when it comes to approve/disapprove a WA resolution.
Well I figured since I am delegate and I carry the trust of being able to vote once for each endorser that I would take an active role in searching for the answer that best helps Airspace. Unfortunately those decisions are clouded when it comes to the SC side of that.
I usually tried to vote whatever fits the "Warzone" theme... at least when I was delegate. It's easier with the GA than the SC though.
Now I just pick one of the option and get on with life ;)
Interesting duality here. One set of pirates is as politically free as can be, while the other is entirly as unfree as possible.
Post self-deleted by Sanjin-San.
If it comes to pirates you can only count on one thing. They never do as you might expect.
Also woo hoo for being most political free here.
I am appreciating the new low prices of Wu Aunt Deli and Bookstore as I am very hungry right now having had my last meal there almost 30 minutes ago.
Again!? Another terrorist attack!? Karsteinia ELIMINATED Blackacre for trying to kill the Pharaoh. Apparently the terrorists of the Lilliputian Freedom Fighters have forgotten Karsteinia's policy of extreme retaliation! They bomb one street, we nuke the five biggest cities in their home country!
Unfortunately their home country is apparently occupied by one of you, so, you know, you should probably get the hell out of the capital, or hand over the terrorist leaders for Karstenian justice BEFORE we let the bombs go. Karsteinia really don't want to accidentally nuke someone who can nuke us back, and CERTAINLY not nuke someone with a friggin' space cannon.
Also Samuel Hamilton, avant garde journalist, needs to stop putting pipe bombs under the Pharaoh's desk. How he has avoided execution for so long is a mystery.
See? It's what we've been saying. Violence begets violence. Blackacre and the Lilliputians should know better. If you hurt someone, they'll try to hurt you back. Peace is the answer! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
It is easy to give in to violent impulses. It is easy to justify murder under the guise of some cause, to secretly convince society that they aren't semi-civilized beasts who hunger for 'justice'. Where does justice come from? Certainly not we Humans, we fragile creatures of stardust and flesh, who so blindly crawl through our primordial darkness of simple-minded impulses and brutal social politics.
We must master our instincts! We must have the strength to pull back from the brink, to stay the hand that holds the knife! Love will set you free!
Here's a little song to scare ye landlubbers straight, and t'show we mean business!
Shiver My Timbers, Shiver My Soul
Yo Ho He Ho
There are men whos hearts are as black as coal
And they sailed their ship across the oceans blue
A Blood-thirsty captain and a cut-throat crew.
It's as dark a tale as was ever told
Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold...
Shiver My Timbers, Shiver my sides
Yo ho he ho
There are hungers as strong as the winds and tides
Yo ho he ho
And these bucaneers drowned their sins in rum,
The devil himself would have to call them scum!
Every man on board would have killed his mate for a bag of
ginnys or a piece of eight, a piece of eight, a piece of eight
five, six, seven, eight!
Shiver my timbers, Shiver my bones
Yo ho he ho
There are secrets that sleep with old davey jones
Yo ho he ho
When the main sails set and the course is weighd
Theres no turning back from any course that's laid!
Shiver my timber, Shiver my sail
Dead men tell no tails!
If one country of Airspace is attack it's like every country of Airspace is attacked. The Warcracy of Tanou offers the Kingdom of Upper and Lower Karsteinia its support.
If the Pharaoh wishes we could send those Lilliputians a message with one of our ion cannons. A message they sure will not forget for a long time.
Because it will be burned into the very fabric of their nation.

Hahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahah! Most Extreme in Airspace
Funny
We're tough. How tough? The four basic food groups in our country are beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard.
The Karsteinia space program is now under-way. Granted, the head manager is a basement-dwelling star wars fan, and there's no ion cannons involved, but, hey, it's a start. To make the Pharaoh feel better about the prospect of this, Tanou's moon cannon is most welcome to rain death from above on the Lilliputians. It will show unity, it will look cool, and it will be in the name of something equalling Warzone Airspace justice!
Orrrr... you could prolong the suffering of the Lilliputians by NOT blowing them up with a WMD, and instead soften up their defenses so that a certain Seagoing Horde could swoop in to pillage and pulverise... just putting that out there.
You could also prolong their suffering by not telling them about our all-week-all-you-can-eat-special for half-man for just 5.99.
We're bankrupting ourselves here literally, so don't tell them.
That sounds like a good deal, but what is the exchange rate? How many Karsteinian throwatstrippers are 5.99 in the Deli and Bookstore?
Also, it is not about suffering. The Pharaoh is not cruel. It's about making terrorists too piss-scared to ever attempt to do anything to Karsteinia again. The perpetrators of terrorist acts might get away, but 20 million of their countrymen will instantly vanish in a beam of moon light.
Although, the Pharaoh does endorse pillaging. And slavery. Ideally we'd make the Lilliputians slaves first, then steal their stuff, then blow up the remains and salt the fields so they have no homes to go back to, and THEN send in the pirates.

Go on, get! Shoo! Pesky Anti-Fascists...
I'm less inclined to squelch anti-fascism then fascism....and since he made a joke of it I'll let it stand.
I disagree. I find this anti-fascist message on our RMB to be very unfunny. He should be treated like any other adspammer.
very well, since he was no a carnie then he gets squelched
[nation=noflag]Sanjin-San[/nation] is ranked 1st in Warzone Airspace and 407th in the world for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 100 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
Regardless if it's fascism or anti fascism. Funny or not funny. I'm number one MECR.
Yes and 407 in the world is nothing to scoff at either. Good job. We in TGD, however, are trying to limit political freedoms, and to a lesser degree civil freedoms, to limit our liability of the stupid masses. The collective IQ of any group of people can be measure by taking the highest individual IQ of that group and dividing it by the number of that groups members. Since TGD has a population of 1.526 billion its collective IQ is 0.0000001467. So to protect us from mob stupidity we reduce the size of the group that makes decisions.

Sigh, I am just now realising that another round of proposals submitted by newbie nations. [nation=short+noflag]Great Kingdom of Calomo[/nation] submitted two condemnations and got someone else to "author" a commendation for him in the same day.
The nation is like 4 days old
54 Martin Luther points? It places The Pharaoh comfortable far away from psychotic dictator, while still being large and in charge.
I really should get around to writing in my factbook some day soon, and I did mean to read as many of you people as I can.
We always become a Psychotic Dictatorship around the Olympic Games
but that's for nazi recruiters... My region isn't nazi!
Well, you see, the tradition in the region is to supress all ads, but since the Nazis don't care and don't stop I gave them an incentive to entertain us at the very least. You post is still readable, if someone was so inclined, but now it doesnt pollute the RMB. I was going to leave it up but when some of our more ancient and prestigous nation complain then I am incline to protect their interest becuase they have been invested in this region, and in some cases for longer than I have.
I will open this issue for discussion if more nations want to let me know how they feel, either publicly or by TG is fine.
We think that preferential treatment for Recruiters isn't exactly fair. Sure, we suppress them Nazis cuz they's Nazis. Mean bastards.
On the other hand, if it becomes known that we 'only' suppress the Nazis, then that means more Recruiters might figure that out. If we're gonna keep Recruiters to a minimum, our region shouldn't be Recruiter-friendly. We should suppress all of it, regardless of which region tries to Recruit.
In all honesty I want to see more carnival barker posts that aren't done by uncreative Nazis.
Good point, anyone else?
In my opinion only nazis and newbies haven't figured out that adspam in a warzone is pointless. Nations that reside here permanently moved here deliberately.
Either the ad rules are for all mandatory or all adpsam is suppressed. Both works for me.
Thats two for equal treatment
Queen Tamuril espouses equal treatment for adspammers as the proper course of action. She doesn't see any fault with such an idea.
As a Most Ancient And Prestigious Nation The Kingdom of Upper and Lower Karsteinia likes the idea where only Nazis are suppressed unless Karsteinia, Tanou or the other Most Ancient Nations says otherwise.
Actually, I don't care too much. The Nazi spammers are just annoying and I tend to not read anything they post. But I love the ad rules, such as speaking like a carny. I'm all for making everyone do it... and then an additional rule for Nazis. So we make every ad-spammer suffer, but we make Nazis suffer MORE... until a Most Ancient Nation says otherwise, yes. Yes, that is my new vote.
You forgot to turn left at the canyon
"So we make every ad-spammer suffer, but we make Nazis suffer MORE... "
I support Karsteinia. Suppress the ad-spammers who don't follow the rules. And nazis some more.
Tanou News Service
After receiving a note of agreement from his Excellency the Pharaoh of the Great Nation of Upper and Lower Karsteinia. El Secretario ordered the use of all three highly experimental ion cannons on the alpha tao space stations to be fired on the warmongering Lilliputians.
At least 18 million where turned into inanimate objects such as tables or carpets instantly. Some even turned into lily bouquets.
The proceeds from selling the bouquets will be donated to the Tanou Veteran Fund. To help and support families of soldiers fallen in combat.
How about that? (check the WFE)
Sounds good to me. But what about favourite kosher strudel.
well if they want to make it kosher then they can but I wouldnt hold my breath
I love this ad rule so much. Now I actually want adders to come to the region, just to bring a tear to my eye with their beauty.
I had no idea Karsteinians were such Poetry lovers, or at least that the Pharaoh was. I, Myself am a dabbler in poetry. Let me try some Haiku on you.

Booo! Bad Nazi! That's not how a haiku works. It's 5-7-5, and you didn't even remotely hit that delicate combination. And where was the strudel!?
In the news: After several bloody conflicts in nearby regions, a stream of asylum-seekers and refugees has been spotted heading for Upper and Lower Karsteinia's shores. This is met with some confusion, in no small part because the bloody conflicts are all caused by Karsteinia! Besides, Karsteinia is already taking in thousands of their countrymen to live within the safety of Karsteinia as fast as our slavers can catch them. What more does the world want from us?
Although the refugees are easy pickings, I suppose, so if Tanou wants some free slave labour from Karsteinia we are happy to provide. Karsteinia is so thankful to Tanou for the cool display of orbital death that we are considering giving up Project Swirly Wind Pattern Hypnosis, and change our flag to one of our landmass hugging yours.
When immigrants are at the border, The Pharaoh tells them to turn left at the canyon.
Post self-deleted by Upper And Lower Karsteinia.
Karsteinia is jealously retracting the offer to send slaves to Tanou, after comparing various factors between the two nations, and learning that Tanou has a 2% stronger economy than Karsteinia. This revelation almost made the Pharaoh order carpet bombings in order to remedy this, if not officials once more reminded him of that whole "moon cannon" business, and further appeased the Pharaoh by pointing out the statistic which shows that at least Karsteinia has softer kittens than the Warcracy of Tanou.
Also, Karsteinia is 1 point richer than The Great Destruction, so there was much laughing and finger-pointing in the pyramid that day.
Another interesting comparisons between the three nations: Karsteinia's government is hella corrupt, but less so that both The Great Destruction and Tanou who are exactly equal, leading to suspicion it's the same ministers covertly running the lower offices of the two nations. You might want to look in on that. See if there are ever photos of the ministers of agriculture together at the same time, and also, if the only difference between ministers is one of them wearing glasses it's a warning sign.
When his Holiness, the Pope of Arimanes, High King of the Righteous People, Herald of The Great Destruction, Protector of the Sacred Word, Kenneth the Talmanes Reed, Son of Lars politely says, "Excuse me", The Pharaoh rudely answers, "#$%& off, I'm turning left at the canyon."
ok, one outdated carnival barker and one scratch. Haiku isnt that hard is it?
Also @ [nation=short]Upper and Lower Karsteinia[/nation]
Thank you, Pharaoh, for the heads up but your suspiciouns are misplaced. My Minister of Agriculture; Clark, High Minister of Agriculture, Kent is in no way related to Tanou's minister, Kal-El. Please dismiss the issue from your already busy mind. ;)

To: His Excellency the Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Karsteinia
I feel honored by the generous offer to take some slaves from Karsteinia. But the Tanou Work Force, though accepting foreign workers, does not take part in slavery. If people join the TWF, they do so freely without force.
For example, yesterday the tabloid News of Tanou featured a photo of you turning right at the canyon. Though obviously fake and thereby against the law. The publisher along with her staff were not killed or forced into slavery. Tanou is a civilized country.
Instead the tabloid was shut down and they and their families joined freely the TWF to make up for this insult to you. No one forced them to do so, or threatened them with horrible deaths in case of refusal.
That the publisher and the heads of department died today in a horrible work accident is just an unfortunate coincident.
As for your concern about my Minister of Food and Such, Ser Hamma Kal-El. His mustache looks stunningly real and he is most certainly not a spy.
My personal bodyguard will make sure he will arrive save at the International Food Convention later this day. Thank you for your concern, though.

Question(Not related to Airspace)
Have you ever had a conversation with someone who was being stupid and an ass to you at the same time, and you want to explain how they were being stupid but because they are such an ass that you just let it drop so you dont have to hear the other person talk anymore?
Yeah, that was fun.
Isn't that the reason we are now dictators? Because then we can make sure no one has to ever go through that experience again.
Freedom of speech allows the imbeciles and the uncouth to disrupt the social fabric of a community without consequences. People with a 'right' to say what they please will sometimes use that 'right' at the expense of others.
The Fascist Dominion finds restrictions on free speech to be... wonderfully efficient. Some people would be better off by keeping their mouths shut.
I just stop listening and nod my head. Or something very important is going on somewhere else and needs my attention right away.
Though sometimes I believe I'm that person myself. >_>

Well, look at that! Our economy rating has SKYROCKETED to a staggering 91/100. :D
But... but you're stoned. And weirdos. How do you make money? You must have gotten lucky.
Some idiot sage wants to put a stop to capital punishment, at which the Pharaoh started snickering uncontrollably until it became clear it was not a joke. While the Pharaoh is not opposed to the suggestion, he just wonders what constitute a death sentence. Karsteinia has not had an electric chair for years, but we do have gladiatorial combat where the prisoners technically have a chance to survive, or they'll be dressed in enemy soldier outfits and catapulted into enemy cities so their corpses can lower enemy moral. But is that really capital punishment or is it a chance to die like a man, punching out sharks and armored bears?
When the sages speak words of wisdom, the Pharaoh trumps them all by turning left at the canyon.

We make money from tourism, mostly. We have great art exhibits, pristine wilderness, museums, coffee houses, music halls, lots of things. We even make appreciable amounts of money from retail now. Dyed t-shirts, pamphlets on healthy living, and vacuum-packaged CSW tofu products! We also encourage cottage industries, local community gardening, charity events, and festivals to support local businesses.
Not only that, but we save immense amounts of money due to our well-developed energy infrastructure. Almost all structures are well insulated to reduce heating costs, and power grids are supplanted by innumerable solar panels, small and large scale wind farms, and water-driven turbines. Even with a growing population, we focus on reducing upkeep costs. Citizens are encouraged to do all they can to lower their own individual energy consumption by keeping all electronic devices turned off and unplugged while not in use.
So you see, increasing economic freedoms while still maintaining our strong ecological convictions and preservationist tendencies is netting its own rewards.
I congratulate Completely Stoned Weirdos for having the best of both worlds. Preserving the environment and economic growth at the same time.
If my citizens want to do something good for the environment, they turn up the heater and open the windows that the birds don't catch a cold during one of our more severe winters. Perhaps they could learn something from the Eco-Cult Republic.

Well look at that! Finally, Explosive Bears is outdone where it counts.
Hahahaha! Finally! Finally the Karsteinian spy/geek collaboration has paid off. Finally the Kingdom of Upper and Lower Karsteinia will have its own orbital death cannon! Tanou will no longer tyrannize us with promises of cooler annihilation; now we can annihilate each other in equally impressive displays of power.
Granted, the alliance will hopefully last, so long as Karsteinia and Tanou can find common enemies to test their kick-ass space weapons on.
Today, simple nukes, but tomorrow, moon cannons! And that is just the beginning, we'll have death stars and Dyson spheres up and working by 2014.
But first we should make an earth cannon and blast the surface of the moon into a likeness of the Pharaoh.
Leaving craters where your nations are is no problem, but Karsteinia will still turn left at the canyon.
